ReplyDeleteWho Said This #2 -- Dustin Hoffman as "Dorothy Michaels" in Tootsie.
ReplyDelete#4) Room for One More & Arsenic and Old Lace
ReplyDelete#7) Apple's Way
#6) Paul Anka
ReplyDeleteWelcome angelnumber25! Yes, #9 is Bell Book and Candle, good job!
ReplyDeleteGilby, you're on a roll, as usual, LOL! My bad on #4 though...I forgot to specify movies in the 1940s ONLY! For a free pass for next week, name the film John Ridgely did with Grant before the two that you mentioned.
Thanks! I've been lurking this blog for a while, figured I'd have to jump in sometime, and I just love Jimmy!
ReplyDelete#4) Destination Tokyo
ReplyDelete#9) Rex Harrison
OK Gilby, re #4, you've got your free pass for next week, but as for #10, [disgusting buzzer sound] WRONG!
ReplyDeleteNot Harrison....keep thinking!
Recap: still need to answer Who Said This? #s 1 and 3, questions #1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10.
ReplyDeleteU.N.C.L.E. started on Tuesday and TREK on Thursday. Both wound up on Friday.
ReplyDelete"Who said this" #3 is Thelma Ritter in THE MATING SEASON.
ReplyDeleteWow Rick, buying all those old TV series DVDs is paying off! You are correct-o-mundo on both!
ReplyDelete#10) Cary Grant
ReplyDeleteGilby, yes, it was Cary Grant!
ReplyDeleteRecap: still need to answer Who Said This? #1, questions #2, 3, 5 and 8.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I made it before anyone else answered 2 and 3. (Gilby, I have the idea you were giving me a chance...I think you could have beat me to it!) I was beat by the Hitchcock Blogathon yesterday and just got to this. (Hope I nail it!)
ReplyDelete#2 (1942 WB) Edge of Darkness, Lewis Milestone, 4/24/42 release.
Gentleman Jim, Raoul Walsh, 11/25/42 release.
#3 (1936) Charge of the Light Brigade, Michael Curtiz, 10/20/36 release.
Green Light, William Keighly and William Dieterle, 5/8/37 release.
Ooops -- forgot one and have question about two of them:
ReplyDelete#2 The Died With Their Boots On, Raoul Walsh, 1/1/42 release date -- this was obviously filmed in 41, but released in 42. Does that count?
#3 For Green Light, it was also made in 36, but released 37. Does that count too?
Who said this #1? Thelma Ritter in Boeing Boeing
ReplyDeleteHi Becks, nice try! You did get #3 with Charge of the Light Brigade, but Green Light doesn't count because we're going by release date. Charge was the only one in 1936.
ReplyDeleteAs to #2, Edge of Darkness was '43 so doesn't count. Yes, Gentleman Jim and They Died With Their Boots On were both 1942, but there's more! Keep thinking!
And Gilby, I'm impressed! Thelma's the best thing about that movie, LOL!
Recap: still need to answer questions #2 (part of), 5 and 8.
ReplyDelete#5. Duke Ellington, wrote the scores for the movies:
ReplyDeleteThe Asphalt Jungle. Cast: Sterling Hayden, Jean Hagen and James Whitmore.
Anatomy of a Murder. Cast: James Stewart, George C. Scott, Lee Remick and Eve Arden.
#2. Desperate Journey(1942). Directed by Raoul Walsh.
ReplyDeleteDawn, very good, I need only one more for #5! Apparently Ellington wrote scores for at least 4 movies, because I had forgotten about Asphalt Jungle.
ReplyDeleteBig hint....one of the other films will be showing soon on TCM.
For #2, you're absolutely right! Actually, Desperate Journey was not the original title, they changed it at the last minute. Free pass for next week if you can tell me the original title!
