Game #119 – All Kinds of Movies

[smilergrogan]

I think one movie is still incorrect, according to Frank. No Tangredi moment yet.

Game #119 – All Kinds of Movies

All of the definite answers are now correct.

Among the movies, three of the suggested answers with question marks are correct.

Among the actors, one of the suggested answers with question marks is correct.

[KillerTomato]

So, Charlie Chaplin showing up twice in the B list is OK? That's gotta be significant.

I'm nearly positive that both BREWSTER'S MILLIONS and ETERNAL SUNSHINE are both right. Not sure about the others.

[KillerTomato]

Ah, A-21 is PROMISES IN THE DARK, with Marsha Mason.

[franktangredi]

So, Charlie Chaplin showing up twice in the B list is OK? That's gotta be significant.

I'm nearly positive that both BREWSTER'S MILLIONS and ETERNAL SUNSHINE are both right. Not sure about the others.

Oops, I didn't catch that. I knew he was on the list, so when I skimmed the names for people that weren't included, he didn't jump out at me. No, the second use of Chaplin is wrong. Robert Downey, Jr. is not on the list.

Yes, those two movies are correct.

[KillerTomato]

Possibility for B-45:

MAX SCHRECK (Willem Dafoe in "Shadow of the Vampire")

[Weyoun]

So, THE DIVORCEE is bothering me. It makes me think that GAY DIVORCEE isn't right - at least not yet. Could it be that the Harvey Milk movie plus DIVORCEE = GAY DIVORCEE? We've got Fred Astaire in the actors, but who else was in it (other than Ginger)?

[Weyoun]

Here's the other thing: how many movies has Stroheim been in that Frank could plausibly use? Sunset BLvd, Grand Illusion, Seven Graves to Cairo, certainly. Maybe a couple of more I am missing, but my impression is he did a lot of foreign stuff, and a lot of pulpy stuff, that might be too obscure for here.

[Weyoun]

A-39. This satirical comedy is quite obscure in and of itself, but the suite derived from its score became one of the most popular works of a great 20th century composer

There just doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options. Maybe Vaughan Williams, who did the score for THE 49TH PARALLEL, which is pretty satirical but not necessarily obscure. Aaron Copland did a lot of film scores, but none of them ring a bell here.

If we are not thinking Anglo-American, then perhaps Prokofiev. His suite to LIEUTENANT KIJE is among his best known works (the "Troika" shows up on anthologies, for example), but I don't know enough about to film to know if it is satirical (based on the nature of the score, I'd suspect yes).

BTW I would take the question mark off MARCH OF TIME. The clue is referring to Citizen Kane's use of "News on the March."

The play in question dealt with a much more controversial subject than divorce, or even plain old sex. Strictly verboten at the time. And the play involved is very famous.

THESE THREE!!!!

IIRC, Lillian Hellman's name was used in a very peculiar manner in the credits because of it.

[mellytu74]

MAX SCHRECK (Willem Dafoe in "Shadow of the Vampire")

How about LON CHANEY, SR. played by Jimmy Cagney in Man of a Thousand Faces?

Excellent! Now the question is, what to do with Kije? Lieutenant makes me think of BAD LIEUTENANT, and we have Harvey Keitel there...

The Children's Hour, I assume? Makes total sense.

Exactamundo.

These Three is The Children's Hour.

By the time the remake with Audrey Hepburn, James Gaqrner and Shirley MacLaine came out, they could use the play's original title.

[mellytu74]

B-43. He made his mark as a handsome continental leading man, but if you grew up when I did, he will forever be that mean old man who wanted to destroy Christmas.
LIONEL BARRYMORE? ALISTAIR SIMS?

Did I mention I saw South Pacific on Broadway yesterday?

A review will be posted later. Kelli O'Hara's understudy went on and I am pretty sure this affected the chemestry between Nellie and Emile.

BUT, Paolo Szot, on the other hand, could be singing to a palm tree and...

But, I digress.

South Pacific is the reason I got thinking about this.

Didn't Rossano Brazzi play some Christmas-hating guy in some TV movie back in the 60s?

Rossano Brazzi of Summertime and Three Coins in the Fountain and, yes, South Pacific was a sauve and debonair Continental leading man.

AND, because it's a TV movie -- which Frank does not usually use -- it would address the tiny element about which he is not strict.

I could be completely off base about this but This Nearly Was Mine has been rattling in my head all day.

AND there are certainly worse melodies for that. In fact, with Christmas music coming on the radio, say, next week, now that fall is here, I know that "I Want a Hippotomus for Christmas" can't be far behind.

But, I digress.

[franktangredi]

Didn't Rossano Brazzi play some Christmas-hating guy in some TV movie back in the 60s?.

The Christmas That Almost Wasn't was not a tv movie. I saw it at the Deer Park movie theatre when I was eleven or twelve. That was my first introduction to Rossano Brazzi, so to me, he will always be Mr. Prune.

I believe that pretty much completes the answers. As for the Tangredi, I think somebody will get it quite soon.

Ah. I only remember it from TV and many years ago at that.

For some reason, I always thought it was a TV movie.

And, see, I saw Three Coins in a Fountain on NBC Saturday Night at the Movies somewhere in my impressionable youth, I think of Rossano Brazzi as a sauve and debonair Continental Leading Man.

[mrkelley23]

Title might give a clue: he might have called it "Opposite day."

A-19 The Story on PAGE one goes with the FRONT PAGE, with B-23 Adolphe Menjou

A-29 The WINDOW goes with REAR WINDOW, with B-50 James Stewart



A-25 LIEUTENANT Kije goes with BAD LIEUTENANT, with B-46 Harvey Keitel

A-15 The EARTH goes with THE GOOD Earth, with B-7 Paul Muni.



More as I think of them
