ReplyDeleteWell, Rick, you beat Becks to a Flynn question again....and you are CORRECT!
ReplyDeleteThe credit for the pictures goes to my new graphics designer, JoAnn, LOL! But thanks!
Robert Howe on the Cafe's FB page wrote: Richard Denning also co-starred as Lucille Ball's husband on her CBS radio show MY FAVORITE HUSBAND which was the precursor to I LOVE LUCY. He also played the Governor on Hawaii Five-0.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Flynn heaven! You got me Rick -- good one! I love his westerns.
ReplyDelete#6 Winner was Tin Pan Alley by Alfred Newman
Really dumb choice over Sea Hawk.
#10 The Warriors, also known as The Dark Avenger
King's Rhapsody, also known (I think)
as King's Ransom.
#12 is driving me crazy--I can't figure it out.
Love the pictures too, Paul and JoAnn. I bet you can't figure out which is my favorite. LOL.
Rick, yes, playing Governor of Hawaii on Hawaii Five-O was probably his best-known role. Although my wife recognized him as the fiance that Deborah Kerr jilts in An Affair to Remember...the quintessential chick flick!
ReplyDeleteHi Becks, glad you like all the Flynn questions this week! And the pictures, of course...you can thank JoAnn for that pic of Errol, as if you didn't know, LOL!
ReplyDeleteFor #10, Warriors was indeed known originally as The Dark Avenger; the other movie is not King's Rhapsody though, sorry!
As to #6, the 1940 Best Original Score winner was not "Tin Pan Alley" by Alfred Newman....but please keep on thinking!
Sorry #12 is driving you crazy....Mwuhahaha (evil laugh)!
#6 Pinocchio. Leigh Harline and Paul J. Smith (Either my original source was wrong or I read it wrong...it was probably me!)
ReplyDeletePinocchio? Instead of Korngold's fabulous Sea Hawk score? I mean, I love "When You Wish Upon A Star", but the whole soundtrack? P-U!!
And for #12, I believe it was Mae West.....
NOT
#5. The marvelous Derek Jacobi was in all three of them.
ReplyDeleteFor #7, given the time frame and the fact that these are movies in different genres, I'll go with the hardest-working actor in show biz: Whit Bissell.
ReplyDelete#11. Leslie Howard, Fredric March, Ronald Colman and Clark Gable. I know that there is one more, but.. for the life of me I can not think of who it is. :(
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures that JoAnn, added.
#1) Where Love Has Gone
ReplyDelete#2) DeForest Kelly & Mike Connors
#4)Lost Horizon & Pocketful of Miracles
#8) Wilson
ReplyDeleteBecks, you got #6, way to go! As for #12, you're right....NOT! We'll give you a HUGE clue: the lady in question spent a lot of time on the Central Coast of California not too far north of where we live! And that's all you get, LOL!
ReplyDeleteRick, you're right on #s 5 and 7, and long live the Whit Bissell Seal of Approval (aka WBSA)!!
Dawn, very good, you got most of #11...but you missed the very first choice, who was actually signed, then replaced. Keep thinking! (P.S. we're glad you like the pictures!)
Gilby, the answer to #1 is actually what you posted as the answer to #2. You haven't actually answered #2 yet. You're right on #4 and #8...good work on the Wilson answer! I AM making these too easy, LOL!
Recap: still need to answer all of the "Whos", plus #s 2, 3, (half of) 10, (one more name for) 11, and the infamous #12! (Mwuhahaha!)
ReplyDeleteBecks, are we still driving you crazy? Or is it a short put? LOL!!
Oops! Meant to say "short putt"!
ReplyDelete#12. Marion Davies.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on #11. I see his face..
Dawn, good job on #12! I told JoAnn that clue was TMI, especially for a California girl, LOL!
ReplyDelete#2) Bette Davis and Susan Hayward
ReplyDeleteSee, we knew you knew it, Gilby! LOL!
ReplyDeleteRecap: still need to answer all of the "Whos", plus #s 3, (half of) 10, and just one more name for 11.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Denning was the jerk in Creature from the Black Lagoon who keeps arguing with Richard Carlson about capturing the creature.
ReplyDeleteYeah Gilby, I think Whit should have thrown Denning overboard into the lagoon!
ReplyDeleteMarion Davies!? I would never have thought of her. (I'm an Indiana girl) And yes Paul, you were driving me crazy, but its a very short drive in my case!
ReplyDeleteLOL Becks! The reference to the CA Central Coast is because of Hearst Castle, just north of us (we're in Pismo Beach). Davies lived with Hearst for quite a while there: San Simeon/Hearst Castle
