I don't know who 73 is, but I have a feeling that 74 is Annette Bening, who was involved with Julianne Moore in The Kids Are All Right (I'm not sure if they were actually married or not). I'm pretty sure that Bening is in the puzzle because she was also in Being Julia, which would match with Being John Malkovich.franktangredi wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 9:38 am73. “What the cops never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody.

74. This star’s screen spouses have included Julianne Moore and the actor in the preceding clue.

Re: Game #204: Marquee Roulette
11. Jean Arthur = The Devil and Miss Jones
82. Edward Arnold = The Devil and Daniel Webster
120. Though they achieved film stardom at about the same time, he never appeared on screen with his first wife – perhaps remembering how she had stolen a big Broadway musical out from under him.
I will bet this is ELLIOTT GOULD
Which gives us The Devil and Max Devlin

Re: Game #204: Marquee Roulette
I thought this was Strode, especially since Sergeant Rutledge is a perfect match with Sergeant York. But it's Richard Farnsworth, who appeared in The Straight Story, which matches with Jimmy Stewart in The Stratton Story and The Glenn Miller Story. And I'm sure there's another _________ Story with another actor somewhere for a triple.franktangredi wrote: ↑Mon Nov 09, 2020 9:38 am36. He drove a chariot in The Ten Commandments, rode a racehorse in A Day at the Races, and fought gladiators in Spartacus – but you won’t find his name in the credits for any of them.
If Sergeant Rutledge isn't on there, the most likely other match is Steve Martin for Sergeant Bilko.

Re: Game #204: Marquee Roulette
This is Jacques Tati, whose best known film is Monsieur Hulot's Holiday. My guess is that one of the answers is Rowan Atkinson for Mr. Bean's Holiday.

Re: Game #204: Marquee Roulette
I can’t get any matches, so I’ll just post another consolidation…
Identify the 125 actors in the clues below. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, match them into 40 pairs and 20 triples according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.
Eleven actors will be used twice and one actor will be used five times.

*2. LAURA DERN
3. “Twelve fox years ago, you made a promise to me, while we were caged inside that fox trap, that if we survived, you would never steal another chicken, turkey, goose, duck, or a squab - whatever they are, and I believed you. Why? Why did you lie to me?”
MERYL STREEP
4. His marriage to another Hollywood star lasted until his death – on their 57th wedding anniversary – in 1990.
HUME CRONYN? JOEL McCREA?
5. “King Kong ain't got s**t on me!”

*31. RICHARD HARRIS
32. In different screen comedies, she posed as the wives of Jason Sudeikis and Adam Sandler.
JENIFER ANISTON?
*33. AL PACINO

*52. STEVE REEVES
53. “Someone hurt my friend Lloyd, and not just on his face. He is having a hard time forgiving the person who hurt him. Do you, do you know what that means? To forgive?

F**k the Chelsea boys with their waxed chests and pumped-up biceps”.

HARVEY KEITEL? EDWARD G. ROBINSON?
*120. ELLIOTT GOULD
121. “After I killed them, I dropped the gun in the Thames, washed the residue off me hands in the bathroom of a Burger King, and walked home to await instructions. Shortly thereafter the instructions came through. ‘Get the fuck out of London, youse dumb fucks.’”

Re: Game #204: Marquee Roulette
This is Richard Todd, whose appeared in A Man Called Peter. I know James Garner was in a movie titled A Man Called Sledge, but that might be a bit too obscure for Frank (it's the type of movie that's right in my wheelhouse on the other hand).
