Game #209: Movie Music

A couple of things that might make a difference - complete titles

B-41. Disneyland had planned an underwater attraction based on this animated film, but after it bombed at the box office, the plans were shelved.

THE INCREDIBLE MISTER LIMPET

B-21. The third film in a franchise, it marked the last starring role for its leading man before he took on an important – though less lucrative – job in a very different field.

TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES

You're right about needing the complete title on one of them. The other answer is wrong anyway.

TERMINATOR 3: Rise of the Machines is correct.

So, we need a new B-41.

A little research shows this is Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Spitballing here - throwing against the wall to see if anything sticks.

A-6. Summertime Blues

Could we be looking for a specific version? Alan Jackson had a hit with this in the 1990s and he has a long discography, so maybe there is something there.

Katharine Hepburn was in both Summertime and Suddenly Last Summer. But, given my wrong Walter Matthau/Hello Dolly and Richard Widmark/Kiss of Death rabbit holes, I not thinking of going out on a limb.

Casts:

The Postman - Kevin Costner/Will Patton. The Postman Always Rings Twice- John Garfield/Lana Turner

Pickup On South Street: Richard Widmark/Thelma Ritter/Jean Peters

Suddenly Last Summer: Hepburn/Liz Taylor/Montgomery Clift


As I said - I am stuck on actual matches and I need to work on some deadline writing, so I can't devote much time right now.

This could be good distraction for baseball around 6 p.m.

[mrkelley23]

B-49. The woman who sang the theme for this Bond film had done so once before, and would do so once again.
ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE

Actually it’s DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER sung by Shirley Bassey.

B-49. DIAMONDS Are Forever (Rihanna) + A-11. PON DE REPLAY

B-28. HEAVEN KNOWS, Mr. Allison (The Grass Roots) + A-17. MIDNIGHT Confessions (Claudette Colbert) + B-42 Since You Went Away

Gotta go now. Here's what I have as left:

A-31. LOVE LETTERS IN THE SAND - MANY ARTISTS
A-59. DON’T HANG UP - THE ORLONS
A-65. THE HEAT IS ON - GLENN FREY

[mellytu74]

B-28. HEAVEN KNOWS, Mr. Allison (The Grass Roots) + A-17. MIDNIGHT Confessions (Claudette Colbert) + B-42 Since You Went Away

A-31. LOVE LETTERS in the Sand (Jennifer Jones) + B-63. Song of BERNADETTE (Four Tops) + A-70. STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE

[jarnon]

You gotta believe CAN’T HELP FALLING IN LOVE is meant to go with A HARD DAY’S NIGHT. A bit of research yields this alternate:

A-65. The HEAT Is On (Robert DeNiro) + B-37. TAXI Driver (Harry Chapin) + A-2. Cat’s in the Cradle

A-75. Can’t HELP Falling in Love (The Beatles) + B-30. A HARD DAY’S NIGHT

A-75. Can’t HELP Falling in Love (The Beatles) + B-30. A HARD DAY’S NIGHT

That makes sense.

[mellytu74]

This had me wondering.

The real title of A-19 is Love You INSIDE OUT. It gives us...

B-38. Saturday NIGHT FEVER (Bee Gees) + A-19. Love You INSIDE OUT (Amy Pohler) + B-8. MEAN GIRLS

And can we somehow work B-26. BEGINNERS and B-68. THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH into David Bowie's Absolute Beginners and The Man Who fell to earth?

[mrkelley23]

I actually think it's
B-52 Pickup on SOUTH STREET (The Orlons) + A-59 Don't Hang UP (Christopher Plummer) + B-26 Beginners

[mellytu74]

I actually think it's
B-52 Pickup on SOUTH STREET (The Orlons) + A-59 Don't Hang UP (Christopher Plummer) + B-26 Beginners

BINGO!!!

[franktangredi]

I was away all weekend and didn't have a chance to look in, but you obviously didn't need any help from me. Good job!

[jarnon]

Since nobody has completed the final triple, I looked it up:

B-68. The Man Who Knew TOO MUCH (Elvis Presley) + A-75. Can’t HELP Falling in Love (The Beatles) + B-30. A Hard Day’s Night

Frank, thanks for a fun game that’s a bit more challenging than the previous one.
