ReplyDeleteThat's true, Maddy, but there's an even closer connection (see Dick's answer below).
Delete2. Anthology films
ReplyDelete3. Rhoda and Hymie on both shows are robots.
8. Both played Mr. Freeze on Batman.
Those others are going to take some figuring.
Well done with #3 and #8! #2 is correct, but there's another connection as well.
Delete7.Alan Ladd.
ReplyDeleteRight as always, Bill!
Delete14. Prison drama films - Kennedy = Cool Hand Luke and Holden = Bridge on the River Kwai
ReplyDeleteYes, they both escaped from captivity--but there's another connection, too.
Delete12. Bears - Clint Howard = Gentle Ben and Christopher George =
ReplyDelete'76 film, Grizzly
Very good! And one was a nice bear and the other one wasn't....
Delete4. Julie Newmar
ReplyDeleteYes, the ever adorable Julie Newmar!
Delete6. Both films feature sequences in a hall of mirrors.
ReplyDelete15. Both films concern the hunt for a priceless jewel.
Right on both counts! The priceless jewels in #15 were diamonds.
Delete#9 - Both played the same role in thge two versions of STagecoach.
ReplyDelete#2 - Manhattan followed the various owners of a coat and Rolls Royce followed various owners of a vehicle
Great job on both of them! In #2, both films did indeed revolve around the owners of objects.
Delete#7 - Great on Ladd, but also both were fictional ,accounts of real-life people (Hearst and Hughes)
ReplyDeleteNice!
Delete1. Soap bubbles in the swimming pool in both films - Doris with her commercial adventure with Happy Soap in Thrill of It All and Bill Mumy, mischief maker, in Palm Springs Weekend.
ReplyDeleteVery well done! (Thought that was one of the harder questions in this quiz.)
DeleteI think I accidentally deleted an answer. Someone (John V?) answered "letters" correctly for #10. That leaves the following remaining to be answered: 5, 11, 13, and 14.
ReplyDelete14. Both played Bumper Morgan in The Blue Knight -- Kennedy in the TV series and Holden in the TV movie/mini-series.
ReplyDeleteOoh, you're good!
Delete5. Ape creatures - Reynolds in Skullduggery and Heston in Planet of the Apes
ReplyDeleteWell, that never occurred to me, but it's a great connection. There's another less interesting one, too.
Delete11. 90 minute episodes?
ReplyDelete13. Underwater movies? (Creech from Black Lagoon, Hello Down There, Mara Maru...)
I think with regard to 13., Rick might be thinking of Jimmy Stewart westerns - Roman in The Far Country, Leigh in The Naked Spur and Adams in Bend in the River.
DeleteYeah, mine seemed a far ways to go....
DeleteYes on #11 and your answer on #13 is impressive. beachgal was reading my mind, though. I first thought of the Anthony Mann-James Stewart Westerns.
DeleteThere's another answer to #5, but, really, all the questions have been answered by the intellectual readers of this blog. Thanks for everyone for playing!
ReplyDelete5. Each starred in a film, then cameoed in the remake.
ReplyDeleteMy thought for #5 was that they both played pro football quarterbacks, Burt Reynolds in The Longest Yard and Charlton Heston in Number One.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Jerome! That was the first connection I thought of (though it's been fun reading about the others).
DeleteAlternative answer for #14: both were co-stars of the lovely Audrey Hepburn: Bill in "Sabrina" and George in "Charade"
ReplyDeleteGood one!
DeleteBtw, "Dear Ruth" made a lasting impression on JD Salinger when he saw its stars' last names on the marquee.
