2.) James Glason
ReplyDelete2.) That's James Gleason
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure the "Who said this" is the Mouse (Matthew Broderick's character) in Ladyhawke! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteGilby, welcome back! Yep, #2 is James Gleason.
ReplyDeleteDKoren, good job! Who Said This? is indeed Matthew Broderick in Ladyhawke!
P.S. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure #4 is the Prince and the Pauper. Great pic of Errol! If I don't get this one, I give up. I can't believe I didn't think of Eugene Pallette swordfighting with Flynn and Rathbone! Shame on me!
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Valentine's Day to you, Paul and Joann.
#5 is Operation Mad Ball, It Happened to Jane, and Bell, Book and Candle.
ReplyDeleteErnie Kovacs TV show was fantastic! He was completely unique. Wish we had more entertainers like him in the vast desert of TV programming.
Well, Becks, you don't have to give up, because you're right! You got #s 4 and 5....good job!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you didn't get Eugene Pallette last week either, LOL! I thought the Roland Young clue was a dead giveaway!
JoAnn says she's glad you like the Errol picture, she thinks he looks especially "pretty" in that one and it's a great Valentine's Day gift to all of the Errol Flynn fans out there!
The Liz Scott pic is for me, LOL!
Since this week was a short quiz, the only remaining questions are #s 1 and 3. But I have a bonus question for a free pass for next week.
ReplyDeleteBonus: One studio cast Ernie Kovacs as the lead star of a particular film. Name the film and the studio.
Was it Five Golden Hours? If so, it was an Italian production, I think, and I don't know the studio name.
ReplyDelete#1. Two... The Magnificent Seven (1960) and The Great Escape (1963).
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone had a Happy Valentines Day. :)
Becks, sorry, that's not the film I was looking for...hint: it's an American film.
ReplyDeleteHello Dawn! You got two of the movies for #1 right, but there's more. Keep thinking!
JoAnn got me the new 3-CD set of the complete score and soundtrack LP release of The Great Escape; it's amazing to say the least, so yes, you could say I had a good Valentines Day, LOL!
I should do a post on this CD set...Rick, what do you think?
#1. Never So Few(1959)...
ReplyDeleteTa-dah! You got it, Dawn! And all three were directed by John Sturgis.
ReplyDeleteOK, I'll give one more try on the bonus question. Is it "Wake Me When It's Over", 20th Century Fox? (I don't do third tries -- it's too humiliating and desperate sounding!)
ReplyDeleteOh heck, Becks, we just love humiliation and desperation!
ReplyDeleteBut luckily you have been spared....this time! You got it, so you have a free pass for next week!
Recap: all questions have been answered except for #3.
