And here is TT63! This week I took it pretty easy on you guys....it's my Christmas gift to you! (Yeah, right Paul!)

Who Are We? We both fit our respective studios' definitions of matinee idols in the '30s and '40s. We both had long careers ending in the '50s, and we even made one movie together. In that film, many movie critics said that one of us was "playing himself". Who Are We?

Who Are We and Which Films Are These? Before WWII, the three of us (two males and a female) made two films together; both stories were set in Europe. Each of the men actually made more than two films with the lady in question (she made three with one and four with the other). Who Are We and Which Films Are These?

1. Name one thing these films have in common: Now Voyager, Hitler's Children, The Mortal Storm, and Andy Hardy's Blonde Trouble.

2. Along with John Ridley, this future TV star had an uncredited part in The Fighting 69th.

3. This 1985 film could be called the unofficial film of this academic institution; part of it was actually shot there. You could call it a real "popcorn" flick. Name the film, the star, and the REAL university.

4. Believe it or not, Errol Flynn was not the first, second, or even third choice/suggestion for Dodge City. Name the other stars considered before Flynn; bonus points for the correct order.

5. Name the Oscar-nominated post-WWII picture with a Christmas theme that features three future TV stars and a veteran character actor whose last movie was a Marilyn Monroe classic.

6. Name the three future TV stars from #5.

7. Name the Monroe film and veteran character actor from #5.

8. Bette Davis was not the first, second, or even third choice for Now, Voyager, due to the fact that the studio assigned three different directors to the film before it was finally made. Name all directors and the other choices for the lead female role; bonus points for correct order.

9. This Oscar-winning sci-fi film was supposed to be a Frank Capra project, but Capra couldn't shoot it on the lousy 3-million-dollar budget that the studio was willing to give him, so he passed. It wound up being made for 8 million dollars by someone else. Name the film and the director.

10. Name the stars of the movie in #9.
