ReplyDeleteAnd thanks to Bill, this quiz is off to a rousing start!
Delete9. Stephanie Beacham.
ReplyDelete10. Suzanne Pleshette.
14. Love at First Bit and Dead and Loving It.
Yes, yes, and yes! Very good, Mr. Hartzog.
Delete7. Both have scores by John Barry?
ReplyDeleteYes, that is one of the connections!
Delete3. The Three Faces of Eve and Sybil (both about women with Multiple Personality Disorder)
ReplyDeleteWell done! Hey, Sybil had a lot more personalities than Eve.

ReplyDeleteI'm impressed...also because you spelled Matt's last name correctly.

Yes and yes. "Scary dentists" is a very accurate description!
Delete4. Played the vampire in London After Midnight and its remake Mark of Vampire
ReplyDelete15. Peter Haskell
Also for #4, both were directed by Tod Browning
DeleteGreat job on #4, Gilby! Although Peter Haskell did guest star on CHARLIE'S ANGELS, there is a better connection between the two shows.
Delete12. William Asher
ReplyDeleteI didn't think of that, but, yes, that's a very good connection. There's another one, too.
Delete3. Woodward and Field both played characters who initially dislike the Paul Newman character but ended up falling for him. ("The Long Hot Summer," "Absence of Malice"
ReplyDelete--Don Effenberger
Don, I was thinking of the split personalities when I wrote the question, but I may like your connection even better!
DeleteBoy, apparently you have to get up as early as possible to get in on this game! All the ones I know are already taken. I tried with the ones not yet answered, but no luck. I love these things though, Rick, and always have fun reading them.
ReplyDeleteQuick recap: 2, 5, 11, and 13 have not been answered. There's another answer to 15.
ReplyDelete12. ANNETTE! 15. Unseen voice.
ReplyDeleteImpressed that you got the unseen voice. Not many people remember BRACKEN'S WORLD.
Delete2. Both played boxers, Body and Soul and The Main Event
ReplyDeleteTrue confession: I always kinda like THE MAIN EVENT.
DeleteSo do I!
Delete11. Animal transformations. Shaggy Dog, Cat People.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it have been awesome to have them both in the same movie?
Delete13. Both dressed as women
ReplyDeleteJack in "Some Like It Hot" and Dwayne in "Ski Party"
Excellent, Toto! SKI PARTY is a surprisingly funny variation of SOME LIKE IT HOT.
DeleteAnd thus, #5 is the only unanswered question!
ReplyDelete5. Scrooges.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great connection. The fun part of this game is learning about connections other than the ones I thought of. I didn't realize Basil played Marley! There is another less interesting connection between the two actors.
Delete5. Ok. Dressed to Kill.
DeleteAnd that concludes this month's game! Thanks everyone for playing.
DeleteThanks for providing the excellent quiz!
