ReplyDeleteWell done, Bill. You know, Whit was in just about everything during that time frame.

Don, I never even thought of that connection and it's a good one!

ReplyDeleteHah! Van Johnson played a bomber pilot in "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo," and Jimmy Stewart WAS a bomber pilot during WWII.

ReplyDeleteIneed they were!

ReplyDelete#11: Johnny Belinda.
ReplyDeleteThis was the first connection I thought of between the two actresses!
Delete#7 The monsters in The Thing (One of my all-time faves) and It Conquered the World are referred to as vegetables.
ReplyDeleteTrue, but Bill guessed an even better connection...
