| What is the common thread between Marlene and Maria? |

Glad I got here early enough for the easy one -- these are hard!
ReplyDeleteNo. 12 - Harlow and Gardner both played the same role, decades apart, with Clark Gable. The first movie was called Red Dust and the second Mogambo.
Nice job, Becky! And a good start to this quiz.
ReplyDelete1. Both tried to warn about alien invasions.
ReplyDelete5. Both deal with people suffering from amnesia.
8. Both had to do with playing baseball.
9. Both featured Ted Danson.
Very good, David! You're right on all counts.
ReplyDelete#6. Both are road pictures, specifically dealing with car trips, even more specifically dealing with iconic cars.
ReplyDeleteFine job!
Delete2. Both play more than one character in their films; 10. Hot air balloons; 13. Both play gypsies.
ReplyDeleteToto, you got some questions I thought might be tough! In addition to playing multiple characters in #2, Danny and Bob each played lookalikes.
Delete3. Both petted Lassie.
ReplyDelete14. Both played the last man on earth.
15. Both played doctors, Kimble and Jekyl.
Yes, Price and Heston played the protagonist in adaptations of Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND. Did Dorothy make a LASSIE movie? I know there's another connection. No. 15 is true, but there's a more intriguing connection, too.
DeleteWell, Dorothy McGuire was in some dog movie. This is a very good quiz, one of the harder ones.
Delete11. Bruce Lee played supporting roles in both The Green Hornet and Longstreet.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Mr. Wilson!
DeleteFour questions remain to be answered: 3, 4, 7, and 15.
ReplyDelete15. Both played fugitives, Jean Valjean and Richard Kimble.
ReplyDeletePerfect answer. In fact, FUGITIVE creator Roy Huggins had said his show was inspired by LES MISERABLES.
Delete3. Lockhart played the mother in the TV series Lost in Space, which was based on the novel Swiss Family Robinson. McGuire played the mother in the film Swiss Family Robinson, which was based on the novel Swiss Family Robinson.
ReplyDeleteNow, that is very impressive! You are absolutely correct.
Delete4 and 7 are the only unanswered questions.
ReplyDelete7. Both have a stuffed animal as a significant plot point. Brideshead Revisited has Sebastian's teddy bear and Little Boy Lost has the boy's stuffed animal dog.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding job! I thought that was the hardest question.
Delete#4 is the only remaining unanswered. It involves two stars appearing in the same movie.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have #4. Barbara Stanwyck (Big Valley) and Richard Basehart (Voyage) both played roles in the 1953 version of Titanic (my favorite, by the way). Did I get it?
ReplyDeleteThat works just fine, Becky! They also appeared in an Errol Flynn film together.
DeleteAll questions have been answered. You folks are all so smart about movies and TV series. Thanks for playing in this month's quiz!
Great quiz! Those were hard ones. Since they're all answered, I feel a little relief not to have to work hard to answer them.
