Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
A-21. KIM HUNTER - Night of the Hunter starring Shelley Winters (B-24. THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE)??
Any ideas?
Not sure how "unbilled" works, though.

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
The Tangredi matches two actors and two films to form a quartet. If this is correct, then there would be a second film. Night of the Iguana is on the list, which makes for a match with Kim Hunter.

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
I know. I was seeing if a partial - if it is even a correct partial - might spark something. Another idea to play with, coupled with the Howard ideas you had earlier.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Wed Dec 22, 2021 7:29 amThe Tangredi matches two actors and two films to form a quartet.

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
The previous times that Frank had multiple associated words in a puzzle, he matched two names together in two different ways, each paired with a different associated word.franktangredi wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 8:20 amTwo hints:
(a) Variants of this Tangredi have been used before in a general quiz, using Associated Words instead of movies.
(b) There was discussion here of how Curly might be used. I could have used Moe instead ... but not Larry.
This puzzle can't involve just using the names to form other names, because there aren't any other Strathairns or Orbachs. But Howard suggests that the name Howard goes with some other actor's name to form a different name, perhaps one that's in one of those movies.5. Bob Gibson + 88. Dylan Thomas = Bob Dylan (Rolling) and Thomas Gibson (Greg)

Can the movies somehow be the Associated Words?silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Sun Dec 26, 2021 1:12 amThe previous times that Frank had multiple associated words in a puzzle, he matched two names together in two different ways, each paired with a different associated word.franktangredi wrote: ↑Tue Dec 21, 2021 8:20 amTwo hints:

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
That is Eileen Brennan and Jessica Lange. They both played a character named Doreen - Brennan in "Private Benjamin" and Lange in "Don't Come Knocking". Is that anything?franktangredi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 8:51 amOkay, I think some help is called for.

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
Don't Come Knocking is a fairly obscure role in Lange's filmography, and I think this would lead to far too many matches among actors. My guess is that half the male actors on this list have played a character named "John" or "Bob" at one time or another, and the females could easily have played "Mary." I keep going back to Curly Howard. Since Moe Howard would also have worked, but Larry Fine wouldn't, then the link has something to do with the word "Howard."kroxquo wrote: ↑Tue Jan 11, 2022 10:29 amThat is Eileen Brennan and Jessica Lange.

Re: Game #207 – Unbilled
Trying to kickstart this again. There are three main ways that an actor can be part of a Tangredi: Their name, a role they played, or a movie they were in. Frank says that the actors are used in two different ways. Since Frank has pretty much indicated that Curly Howard is on the list for "Howard," then one of the ways would seem to be the actor's last name. In this case, that would mean that the Tangredi involves "Brennan" or "Lange." The only other acting Brennan I know of is Walter Brennan, while the other Langes are Hope Lange, Eric Lange, and Ted Lange from The Love Boat.
Maybe something will ring a bell here.

He played Sheriff Bill Howard in Surrender
He played Walter in The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle and in looking at Hope Lange, she played Hope in The Young Lions. Probably doesn't mean anything but I am just spitballing.

I got so excited I woke myself up
Claire Trevor was in Murder My Sweet
Trevor (Curly) Howard was in Brief Encounter
I thought something may have to do with names.
The problem is, the Claire in the puzzle is Bloom.
