CW, you were off to a quick start this morning and are correct on 13, 14, and 15!
ReplyDeleteJenni, #10 is correct, but there are better answers for 2, 7, and 11!
ReplyDelete1) Frances Farmer is in Come and Get It and Jessica Lange is in King Kong. Jessica played Frances in the movie Frances.
ReplyDelete5)Peter Lorre is in the 1934 version of Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much & Doris Day is in the 1956 version of The Man Who Knew Too Much
Right on both questions! Impressed with your prompt answer to #1.
Delete11. Living hands
ReplyDeleteThat's right! (This was my favorite question.)
Delete4. Robert Horton
ReplyDeleteAnd you are 2 for 2!
Delete2)Otto Preminger and Arnold Schwarzenegger both played Mr. Freeze. Otto in the TV Show Batman and Arnold in the movie Batman & Robin.
ReplyDeleteVery good! And we could have added Eli Wallach to the group, too.
Delete#9. Both involve iconic cars. "Black Beauty" for the Green Hornet and "General Lee" for the Dukes of Hazzard.
ReplyDeleteThe more obscure answer, and we never know which you want Classic Film and TV Café, is that "Green Hornet" featured martial arts star Bruce Lee and "Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion" featured martial arts star Cynthia Rothrock.
The iconic cars is the intended answer, but the Cynthia Rothrock connection is awesome!
Delete7. Both shows focused on doctors (Dr. Richard Kimble, pediatrician, and Dr. Kildare, of course)
ReplyDelete8. Peter Lupus
Well done, Toto! I always thought it was funny that Peter Lupus was billed as Rock Stevens in the MBP credits.
DeleteThe only questions still unanswered are 3, 6, and 12.
ReplyDelete#6. Humphrey Bogart played Philip Marlowe in "The Big Sleep", based on the Raymond Chandler novel.
ReplyDeleteBruce Lee co-starred in "Marlowe" (who was played by the late great James Garner, based on another Raymond Chandler novel, "The Little Sister".
Or were you looking for a Cynthia Rothrock connection???
Marlowe was indeed the connection!
Delete#12. Paladin's business card in "Have Gun Will Travel" featured a knight chess piece.
ReplyDeleteSteve McQueen and Faye Dunaway played a rather memorable game of chess in "The Thomas Crown Affair".
Very good! (Plus, it's one of the weaker connections in this quiz.)
DeleteOkay, I see what you did with number three! Operation: Kid Brother and Diamonds Are Forever both star real-life brothers. Neil Connery is in the former, and Sean Connery is in the latter.
ReplyDeleteImpressive, Beth Ann! Not many people are familiar with Neil's movie (which is probably good news for them).
