| What's the link between Clark and Jack? |
1. Clark Gable and Jack Lemmon.
2. Jeanne Crain and Jean Arthur.
3. Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, and Lon Chaney, Jr.
4. Horror Hotel and Psycho.
5. Imitation of Life (1959) and the film The Godfather.
6. Audie Murphy and Ray Charles.
7. Thunder Road and Big Jake (there are at least two connections, one obvious and the other one kinda fun).
8. Planet of the Apes and Saboteur (an easy one!).
9. Wee Willie Winkie and Imitation of Life (1959).
10. Algiers and The Magnificent Seven.
11. Don Johnson and Kurt Russell.
12. Humphrey Bogart and Rock Hudson.
13. Dirk Bogarde and Steve McQueen.
14. I Was a Teenage Frankenstein and Seven Days in May.
15. Steve McQueen and Robert Fuller.
#3 is the easy one: the all three played the Frankenstein monster.
ReplyDeleteThat is true! There is another connection, too.
Delete#4-They are basically, the same story?
ReplyDeleteAn early major, unexpected death.
DeleteYou are both correct in that the film's feature a similar structure.
Delete#1: Gable in "It Happened One Night" and Lemmon in the musical remake "You Can't Run Away from It".
ReplyDelete#8: Statue of Liberty
#6: They were both songwriters.
Very good on 1 and 8. You're right with #6, but there's a cooler connection.
Delete12. Plastic surgery. Dark Passage and Seconds.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Bill!
Delete11. Both played Elvis.
ReplyDelete15. Both played Vin, The Magnificent Seven and Return of the Seven.
14. Whit Bissell
David, you're correct on all three. Whit Bissell was in everything in the late 1950s and 1960s...or so it seems.
Delete#6 Both Murphy and Charles are Medal of Honors recepients. Murphy was awarded Medal of Honor for bravery in WW2 and Charles Congressional Medal of Honor for achievements.
ReplyDeleteRandy, that's a much better connection than the one that occurred to me. I was going for that both played themselves in movies about their lives.

ReplyDelete5. Troy Donohue.
10. American remakes of foreign films.
Well done, Bill!
DeleteNot to nitpick, but I'm pretty sure Donahue is only in Godfather 2. Well, yeh, that probably is nitpicking, I couldn't come up with another answer, LOL.
DeleteStill remaining to be answered: 2, 3 (there's another response not yet given), 7, 9, and 13.
ReplyDeleteI think the obvious answer to #7 is that Robert Mitchum in Thunder Road and John Wayne in Big Jake star with their own sons....Mitchum's son James actually plays the brother of Robert. I haven't seen Big Jake in years, but I'm guessing, Patrick Wayne plays the Duke's son in Big Jake.
ReplyDeleteRandy, the obvious answer is the right one. (It's only obvious because you know your movies!).
DeleteRick, BTW I look forward to this quiz every month, this month's is a real doozy!
ReplyDeleteWe love compliments....
Delete2. Really reaching, but similar titles. Cheaper by the Dozen, The More the merrier...
ReplyDelete3. Mummies.
3. Both in movies where they're "Docs"?
7. Both are said to be directed in part by their respective stars uncredited, also.
#3 is correct. In addition to all playing the Frankenstein Monster, they played the Mummy, too. Half of the answer to #2 in indeed THE MORE THE MERRIER.
Delete#9 is a toughie. It has to do with a real life occupation shared by a star of each movie.
ReplyDelete#9 Both Shirley Temple and John Gavin were United States Ambassadors, Temple to to Ghana and later Czechoslovakia and Gavin to Mexico
ReplyDeleteHoo hoo! Fine job, emeraldcity. That wraps up this game. Thanks all for playing.
