It's back for this month only after a long hiatus! The rules: You will be given a pair or trio of films, TV series, or performers and will be required to to find the common connection. It could be anything--two stars who acted in the same movie, two movies that share a common theme, etc. As always, don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is a single best answer for each question. Yes, that's means we're looking for something in particular!
1. John McIntire and Ward Bond.
2. Get Smart and The Prisoner (and, no, it's not that they're both about spies).
3. Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and Muriel's Wedding (it's not that they were made in Australian).
4. Elvis Presley and Robert Goulet (it's not that they're both singers).
5. Alan Ladd and Cliff Robertson.
6. Emergency! and Dragnet (there are at least two connections).
7. Have Gun--Will Travel and Mission: Impossible.
8. Cornel Wilde and Robert Taylor.
9. Robert Wagner and Cary Grant (an easy one!).
10. Muscle Beach Party and Thunderball.
11. The TV series Sky King and Lost in Space.
12. Lou Grant and Kolchak: The Night Stalker.
13. The movie Gunfight at the OK Corral and the TV series Star Trek.
14. Bullitt and Vertigo.
15. The Virginian and The Big Valley (no, it's not single parents nor ranches...the connection is an obvious one--though a little tricky).
1. Both played the wagonmaster on Wagon Train.
ReplyDelete6. Both were produced by Jack Webb.
13. DeForest Kelly was in both.
All your answers are correct--but there are also additional correct answers to both 6 and 13.
Delete3 ABBA is in the soundtrack, 4 Robert Goulet & Pricilla Presley are in The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear, Cornel Wilde and Robert Taylor were both Lancelot (Wilde in Lancelot and Guinevere, Taylor in Knights of the Round Table)
ReplyDeleteWell done on all three!
DeleteHmm, I'll take a guess anyway -
ReplyDelete9 Robert Wagner plays a thief in It Takes a Thief, Cary Grant a former thief in To Catch a Thief.
That is indeed the connection!
Delete10 - Luciana Palluzi was in both? (She remains my favorite Bond girl... or favorite bad Bond girl... LOL)
ReplyDeleteShe was! And she is still appearing at nostalgia conventions.
Delete14. San Francisco
ReplyDeleteOne of the most exciting places to drive around!
Delete11. Penny King character in Sky King and Penny Robinson character in lost in Space
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the two Pennies!
DeleteStill need answers (or additional answers) for 2, 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, and 15.
ReplyDelete2. Both series featured characters who were only known by numbers, 99 on "Get Smart" and Number 6 on "The Prisoner."
ReplyDelete13. Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, and Chekov got in "relive" the O.K. Corral showdown in the Season Three "Trek" episode "Spectre of the Gun."
Well done, especially with the O.K. Corral connection!
Delete5, Shane...And SHAME (Batman)
ReplyDeleteYes, Cliff Robertson as Shame!
Delete#15 Lee Majors was in both series (after "The Big Valley", he was on "The Virginian" after it was re-titled "The Men from Shiloh" in it's final season)
ReplyDeleteNice job, Davey! The Men from Shiloh was an interesting revamp of The Virginian.
DeleteOfficers Reed and Malloy from "Adam-12" made appearances on both "Dragnet" and "Emergency!" (since all three shows took place in the same TV universe)
ReplyDeleteRight again!
DeleteThe only questions not answered as 7 and 12. The latter one is actually pretty easy, which may be why it seems hard.
ReplyDelete#12 Both Kolchack and Lou Grant worked in the newspaper business. Kolchack was a reporter, and Lou Grant was an editor.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sue, for getting what turned out to be a difficult one.
Delete#7 I know Bruce Geller wrote for both shows (not sure if that's what you're looking for, though)
ReplyDeleteYes, Bruce Geller is the connection! That wraps up this game. Thanks to everyone who played!
