I'll have a go.
ReplyDelete#1. Their work for the war effort which included films, and one together, Spitfire.
#4. Would the answer have something to do with shoes or boots? Making them in one and eating them in another.
12. They both played cat burglars. To Catch a Thief and Jack of Diamonds.
Yes on all three, Caftan Woman, though there's a more entertaining answer for #1 (see below).
DeleteYes indeed. There is a much better #1. D'oh!
Delete1. Scarlet Pumpernickle.
ReplyDeleteVery good! I was always intrigued that THE ELUSIVE PIMPERNAL was originally intended as a musical and all those scenes were deleted.
Delete3. Both had climaxes set in city sewers.
ReplyDelete7. TV shows set in Hawaii. Selleck in Magnum, P.I. and Conrad in Hawaiian Eye.
Well done, Jerome!
Delete9. Brides of Frankenstein? Jane Seymour in Frankenstein the true Story, and Elsa, in, of course, Bride of Frankenstein
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed. Not a lot of people have seen FRANKENSTEIN: THE TRUE STORY.
DeleteMy family videotaped that movie off tv somewhere back in the 80s and we used to watch it all the time. It really stuck in my head. I can still pull up images from it. Like Jane Seymour and her ribbon choker necklace that hides the scar on her neck... LOL!
Delete5. Both played their own identical twin.
ReplyDeleteYes, they did! (Though somehow Patty played identical cousins, which is downright odd.)
Delete2. I hope this is specific enough: Both actors starred in 1966 one-season ABC TV shows about average men who turned out to be dead ringers for deceased spies and were asked to impersonate them for the good of the country (whew!), Lansing in the dramatic "The Man Who Never Was" and Buttons in the comedic "The Double Life of Henry Phyfe," which featured a great Vic Mizzy theme song.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressive! I thought that was the hardest question in this edition.
DeleteQuick recap: Still looking for answers to 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13-15.
ReplyDelete14. Beach party genera films - Welch in A Swingin' Summer -- Walley in Beach Blanket Bingo (and Ski Party). Both also appeared in Elvis films - Welch in Roustabout and Walley in Spinout.
ReplyDeleteThose are two excellent answers...and there's a third one, too (and BBB is part of it). Speaking of SWINGIN' SUMMER--which I enjoy--I love how we're supposed to think Raquel is a bookworm until she takes off her glasses and lets down her hair!
Delete6. Both gave Oscar winning performances portraying true life people who had to deal with severe disabilities - Woodward in The Three Faces of Eve - Duke in The Miracle Worker.
ReplyDeleteRight again...and there's also another answer (also related to 3 FACES OF EVE).
Delete13. Films that revolve around airports - Lancaster in Airport - Taylor in The V.I.P.s
ReplyDeleteAnd continuing the trifecta, this is an answer I never thought of...but there is also another one.
ReplyDelete#14 Both played skydivers in 1960s films-Walley in "Beach Blanket Bingo"-(1965) and Welch in "Fathom"-(1967).
ReplyDeleteWell done, Davey!
Delete13. Birds.
ReplyDeleteYes, Birdman of Alcatraz and The Birds!
Delete#6 Both played athletic runners-Duke in the 1965 feature film "Billie" and Woodward in her Emmy-winning 1978 tv movie "See How She Runs".
ReplyDeleteAnother connection I didn’t think of! There’s at least one more.
Delete#8 Fathers involved in custody battles-Crosby in "Man on Fire"-(1957) and Hoffman in "Kramer vs. Kramer".
ReplyDeleteNice job! This one was tough because few folks have seen Man in Fire (which I like pretty well).
Delete15. Both played private detectives: Dreyfuss in "The Big Fix" and Nicholson in "Chinatown" and "The Two Jakes."
ReplyDeleteAnother good one for these two. Who knew they shared so many connections. There is one more.
Delete!5. Since Nicholson was the dental patient in Little Shop of Horrors ... how about "Jaws"? :)
ReplyDeleteI like it...but there’s a connection related to something one character was passionate about and the other was character was not.
Delete15, "Baby"... Cry Baby Killer, Baby Face Nelson...
ReplyDeleteThat’s very good, but there’s another connection.
DeleteAs far as #6, both actresses starred in true-life stories of women with multiple personality disorder, Woodward in the aforementioned "Three Faces of Eve" and Field in the made-for-TV film "Sybil." Also, there was another link for #13: both men starred in films based on H.G. Wells books, Lancaster as Moreau in the 1977 version of "the Island of Dr. Moreau" and Taylor as the Time Traveler in George Pal's "The Time Machine" from 1960.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both! I missed the Wells connection...that’s a good one.
DeleteAlso need answers for 10 and 11.
ReplyDeleteCorrection: Anonymous refers to (Sally) Field starring in "Sybil", which is totally correct but the question is regarding a connection between Joanne Woodward and Patty Duke.
ReplyDelete10. Death. Takes a Holiday. Redford played Death in Twilight Zone.
ReplyDelete11. Octopi. Cartoon in Dangerous' case.
ReplyDeleteKudos to you, Bill, on both of these!
DeleteThat wraps this month’s game. Thanks to everyone who played! It’s surprising how much I learn.
