Game #152: Subtitles

[franktangredi]

Home stretch! Nine to go!

[mellytu74]

Third use of Mystic River

B-14. LAURA DERN (Wild) + A-62. MYSTIC RIVER = B-92. MONTGOMERY CLIFT (Wild River)

Second use of Dern. Second use of Clift.

[mellytu74]

HOW did I miss this one??

Second use of A-14. BLIND DATE

B-97. PETER FALK (Husbands) + A-14. BLIND DATE = B-18. ERICH VON STROHEIM (Blind Husbands)

Second use of Falk. First use of Von Stroheim

[mellytu74]

Is there a movie called Madness?

I keep thinking Walter Huston is here for Frank Capra's American Madness but I don't know about a film called Madness.

[plasticene]

Third use of The Iron Horse, which is now the fourth and last movie to be used three times:

B-44. ELIZABETH TAYLOR (Giant) + A-15. THE IRON HORSE = B-65. VIN DIESEL (The Iron Giant)

Third use of Elizabeth Taylor and second of Vin Diesel.

[plasticene]

B-46. CHARLIZE THERON (Monster) + A-29. INTERNATIONAL HOUSE = B-29. FRED WILLARD (Monster House)

First use for International House and Fred, second for Charlize.

[plasticene]

B-7. JOHNNY DEPP (Blow) + A-52. INSIDE OUT = B-61. JOHN TRAVOLTA (Blow Out)

First use of Johnny Depp and Inside Out, third use of Travolta.

That leaves just 4!

The four remaining movies are THE DARK KNIGHT and three movies that have been used once.

The eight remaining actors include WALTER HUSTON and seven that have been used once or twice.

[Pastor Fireball]

I'll take Walter Huston, then...

B-75. WALTER HUSTON (Rain) + A-44. ENCINO MAN = B-33. TOM CRUISE (Rain Man)

[franktangredi]

B-7. JOHNNY DEPP (Blow) + A-52. INSIDE OUT = B-61. JOHN TRAVOLTA (Blow Out)

First use of Johnny Depp and Inside Out, third use of Travolta.

That leaves just 4!

The four remaining movies are THE DARK KNIGHT and three movies that have been used once.

The eight remaining actors include WALTER HUSTON and seven that have been used once or twice.

I figured out why you said there were four left when I counted five. The Iron Giant was already on the consolidation.

In any case, according to my list, there are now four left. Good job, everybody.

Additional hint: two of the four remaining matches use the same movie. The other two are probably the hardest to get.

[plasticene]

B-19. ROBERT DE NIRO (Heat)+ A-51. THE BIG TRAIL = B-88. GLORIA GRAHAME (The Big Heat)

Third use for De Niro and Gloria Grahame, second for The Big Trail.

[plasticene]

Oh, it looks like I must have found the easy ones. Too bad!

B-28. JESSICA LANGE (Country) + A-51. THE BIG TRAIL = B-90. GREGORY PECK (The Big Country)

Third use for The Big Trail, second for Lange and Peck.

[plasticene]

Okay, this is the last one that at least had an easy way in, since The Dark Knight hadn't been used yet. I'm not sure it's the intended match, though, since I think it makes 17 actors used three times.

B-41. MARLENE DIETRICH (Angel) + A-60. THE DARK KNIGHT = B-15. FREDRIC MARCH (The Dark Angel)

Third time for Dietrich and March, first for The Dark Knight.

[franktangredi]

That leaves one, and it's certainly the most difficult. I only included it because it could be made by combinations that were already there.

One actress who's already been used twice, one actor who's already been used once, and one movie that's already been used once. Maybe that'll narrow it down. But, really, I think you're virtually finished.

And I have another game waiting in the wings....

[mellytu74]

Tonight, at the Mann Center to hear the Philadelphia Orchestra play the score of The Godfather.

Lovely. Although sitting in the rain did little for my cough.

It didn't help me figure out anything.

[franktangredi]

Would you like a clue, such as the name of one of the actors involved? It's reached the needle-in-a-haystack point, and you've virtually finished it up anyway.

[mellytu74]

That would be lovely, Frank. Thank you.

[franktangredi]

That would be lovely, Frank. Thank you.

You are looking for the third usage of Greta Garbo.

[mellytu74]

That would be lovely, Frank. Thank you.

You are looking for the third usage of Greta Garbo.

Well we COULD have Greta Garbo (love) + Love Affair = Annette Bening (Love Affair).

But that's probably not it.

[plasticene]

Babes in Love?
Children of Love?
Monsters, Love?
They Love by Night?
You Only Love Twice?
Love on a Ledge?
The Love from Syracuse?
Love Love?

B-21. GRETA GARBO (Love) + A-65. LOUISIANA STORY = B-96. RAY MILLAND (Love Story)

Thanks, Frank! Great game!

Thanks, Frank! Great game!

I kind of like some of those other titles.

And now, you are done! Well played, all!

[Pastor Fireball]

And I have another game waiting in the wings....

And I will be ready for that. I should note that my annual county-counting vacation starts next Sunday. Taking my kids down to New Orleans and Fort Walton Beach for the week. I will help in the game all that I can for the first few days.

[mellytu74]

What FUN this was!!!

Sorry I couldn't play much at the end but I really enjoyed this.
