The Movie-TV Connection Game (April 2015)

How are Gary Cooper and Robert Reed
connected?
In this edition of the connection game, you will once again be given a pair or trio of films or performers. Your task is to find the common connection. It could be anything--two stars who acted in the same movie, two movies that share a common theme, etc. As always, don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is a single best answer for each question.

1. Deborah Kerr and Juliet Mills.

2. Alan Hale, Jr. and Charles Laughton.

3. Joel McCrea and Richard Chamberlain.

4. Fredric March and James Stewart.

5. Gary Cooper and Robert Reed.

6. Stewart Granger and Christopher Lee.

7. Richard Basehart and Walter Pidgeon.

8. Glynis Johns and Ann Blyth.

9. Jon Provost and Nigel Bruce.

10. Bela Lugosi and Acquanetta.

11. Elliott Gould and Robert Montgomery.

12. Fredric March and Bill Bixby.

13. Robin Williams and Mary Martin.

14. Peter Lawford and Jim Hutton.

15. Arthur Hill and George Maharis.

      Yes, both were architects. But ATLAS isn't the right Ayn Rand film.

    #2 could also be they were both stranded on an island - Dr. Moreau's in Laughton's case. And #10 is female gorilla. Really.

      Or #10 is simply human to ape transformation.

    2. Rick29April 20, 2015 at 4:12 PM

      Indeed, I was going for the fact that both transformed into apes.
