The Movie-TV Connection Quiz (November 2014 Edition)

What's the connection between Alan

Greetings, film and TV trivia gurus! In this game, you will once again be given be a pair of films, TV series, performers, or any combination thereof. Your task is to find the common connection between the pair. It could be anything--two stars who acted in the same movie, two movies that share a common theme, a film that inspired a TV series, etc. As always, don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is a single best answer for each question.

1. The James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever and John Ford's The Searchers.

 2. The Absent-Minded Professor and Hoosiers.

3. The Man With the Golden Gun (another 007 pic!) and the TV series Fantasy Island.

4. The TV series Get Smart and The Love Boat.

5. The TV series Mission: Impossible and The Rat Patrol.

6. The films Francis in the Haunted House and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

7. The TV series Maverick and the movie Live and Let Die.

8. Dorothy Malone and Lana Turner.

9. The films Stalag 17 and The Thing from Another World (1951).

10. Alan Ladd and David Carradine.

      CW, once again, you've gotten the quiz off to a great start! Interestingly, Natalie and Lana were in THE SEARCHERS, playing the same character at different ages.

    8. Lana Turner played Constance MacKenzie in the film Peyton Place and Dorothy Malone played that character on TV's Peyton Place -- both are 'my' vintage.

    #12: I'll give it a try: Chuck Connors starred in a 1987 TV series called "Werewolf". Oliver Reed starred in a 1961 film called "The Curse of the Werewolf".
