Game #121: Have a Reel Nice Holiday

[mellytu74]

A-11. GARY BUSEY played BUDDY HOLLY in The Buddy Holly Story
A-?. ? HACKETT + B-31. IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD = BUDDY HACKETT
A-33. LAUREN BACALL + B-11. DUMB AND DUMBER = LAUREN HOLLY


RAYMOND HACKETT is the guy who played Ruth Chatterton's son in Madame X. Related somehow to the screenwriting Hacketts, IIRC.

[NellyLunatic1980]

And now I finally get a chance to look at the latest Tangredi Game.

A-47. The first African American to receive star billing in a movie, he died in 1979, one day before his ninetieth birthday – and four days before the release of his final movie.
BILL ROBINSON?

Wrong. Bill Robinson died way before 1979.

A-55. Reputedly the first actor to receive a pie in the face, he had a significant part of his anatomy insured by Lloyd’s of London.

I'm surprised that smilergrogan didn't take a shot at this, but this might actually be JIMMY DURANTE.

A-67. Contrary to some persistent misinformation on the Internet, this winner of the Best Supporting Actor Oscar is NOT the grandson of the man who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor 55 years earlier.
JAMES COBURN?

This has to be correct. Charles Coburn won BSA in 1943 for "The More The Merrier".

A-73. At age 27, she got her only Oscar nomination –for playing a 12 year-old girl.
JULIE HARRIS?

Has to be right. She played the tomboy in Carson McCullers' "The Member of the Wedding".

A-74. “You know something, Fantan? This world is so full of crap, a man's gonna get into it sooner or later whether he's careful or not.”
PAUL NEWMAN?

Yep, this was his last line in "Hud".

B-7. “Come on, read my future for me.”
“You haven't got any.”
“What do you mean?”
“Your future is all used up”
A TOUCH OF EVIL?

Classic exchange by Orson Welles and Marlene Dietrich in said film.

B-9. “Dinner means death! Death means carnage! Christmas means carnage! Christmas means carnage!”

Ferdinand the Duck said this in BABE.

B-28. This sentimental story about a minister and his wife was the last film to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture without getting a single other nominiation.
A Fredric March movie

I thought it might have been "The Barretts of Wimpole Street", but I don't think that the real Robert Browning was a minister.

[mellytu74]

I am heading out to a birthday party soon and won't be able to contribute much to the Tangerdi except come biographical roles.


Fredric March played Christopher Columbus, Jean Lafitte and Mark Twain

Errol Flynn played James/Jim Corbett, George Custer, Jeb Stuart

Diana Ross played Billie Holliday -- could there be a Billie Burke in there someplace? I don't see one off the bat.

Geroge Arliss was Bejamin Disraeli, Voltaire, Cardinal Richeleau and one of the Rothchilds

Betty Hutton played Annie Oakley and Pearl White

George C. Scott played George Patton

Eleanor Parker played opera singer Marjorie Lawrence in Uninterrupted Melody. I will bet that this matches up somehow with Gertrude Berg to get us Gertrude Lawrence, who was in very few movies but B-8 REMBRANDT was one of them.

No, it's not Barretts of Wimpole Street. It Something Heaven. Heaven Something. But it's definitely Fredric March. I don't want to look it up but I may have to.

What the heck -- I looked it up.

It's ONE FOOT IN HEAVEN, with March and Martha Scott.

B-9. “Dinner means death! Death means carnage! Christmas means carnage! Christmas means carnage!”

Ferdinand the Duck said this in BABE.[quote/]

I will bet that RICHARD HARRIS, who played Oliver Cromwell will somehow lead up to JAMES CROMWELL, who was in BABE.

BILL ROBINSON?

Wrong. Bill Robinson died way before 1979.

By any stretch of the imagination, can this be (I think I have the name right) CLARENCE MUSE? He played Sam in Casablanca and worked in movies a long time.

TCM has a Bogie marathon on Christmas because it's his birthday.

Clarence Muse didn't play Sam -- that was Dooley Wilson -- but he is the correct answer to the question. His last movie was 'The Black Stallion.'

A complete brain cramp. I KNOW Dooley Wilson was Sam.

How I got from there to Clarence Muse is one of those real roundabout things.

I was thinking of too many things at once. Boonie's brother was dropping something off.

We got talking about Casablanca and the Bogart marathon -- we got there via Jason Robards as Grandpa in the stage version of You Can't Take It With You (which I have on tape -- I guess it was on PBS), because the Capra version, which neither Boonie nor I had ever seen all the way through, was going to be on TCM.

From there, we went to Eddie "Rochester" Anderson. I was arranging pine cones and Christmas balls in a basket.

Greg asked if I ever heard of Clarence Muse. I told him that I hadn't. He said he played lots of Pullman porters and such and wasn't that a great name. Greg picked up the Donald Bogle book for a couple of bucks at a flea market and found him in there.

I didn't think anything else about it until I re-read the question.

Either way, I'd never HEARD of Clarence Muse until the other night and might not have still, if he hadn't had such a great name.

But, I had Clarence Muse and Casablanca in my brain together. But, he's still not Dooley Wilson.

Edited to add --- OK. I just looked up Clarence Muse.

No wonder Greg thought the guy was interesting.

[silverscreenselect]

I tried for about an hour to fit Cameron Crowe (Cameron Mitchell/Russell Crowe) into the puzzle. I don't think he's in there, but the effort did lead to the Tangredi, examples (mostly incomplete) at bottom. (I looked up actors in a couple incomplete ones to confirm the Tangredi, but people who actually know them should complete those).



A-2. JIMMY STEWART played GLENN MILLER in The Glenn Miller Story
A-64. PAUL FORD + B-35 GILDA = GLENN FORD
A-32. JASON MEWES + B-3. THE EXORCIST = JASON MILLER

A-58. LIAM NEESON played MICHAEL COLLINS in Michael Collins

Jennifer Jason Leigh + Grey = Jennifer Grey (Dirty Dancing)

And Michael Keaton was in Jack Frost which gives another part to that matchup.

I'll be busy tomorrow so I won't have time to work on this, but that should be a good start.

[silverscreenselect]

One more:

JOHNNY DEPP = Ed Wood
Natalie Portman + Wood = Natalie Wood (34th Street)

Actually, Clarence Muse did play Sam in "Casablanca". That is, the 1955 TV series "Casablanca".

[mellytu74]

Nelly --

The funny thing about that is I didn't know that until I read about him. It was the Dooley Wilson brain cramp!

[mellytu74]

Throwing out ideas. I've really got nothing and I am trying to get some work done since December 31 is my last day at this job.

Loretta Young was in A Night to Remember?

Eleanor Parker = Marjorie Lawrence
Gertrude Berg + ??
Gertrude Lawrence = B-8 REMBRANDT


A-47. Clarence Muse
Clarence Nash (voice of Donald Duck) = Three Caballeros

Esther Williams - Annette Kellerman (big swimmer star turn of 19th/20th century)
Sally Kellerman = MASH

Martha Raye
Martha Scott was in Leave Her to Heaven

[mellytu74]

A possibility

A-70. BRAD DAVIS played BILLY HAYES in Midnight Express
A-54. HELEN MIRREN + B-22. AIRPORT = HELEN HAYES
A-?. ? + B-?. ? = BILLY ?


Billy Halop was in Angels with Dirty Faces. That's all I got.

[silverscreenselect]

Esther Williams - Annette Kellerman (big swimmer star turn of 19th/20th century)
Sally Kellerman = MASH

The rest of that link would be

Annette + Peter O'Toole = Annette O'Toole (48 Hours).

Another actress I used to have a crush on.

[mellytu74]

I think that Elyse Knox would somehow work with Alexander Knox, who was in Wilson (he played Woodrow Wilson) but I'm not sure how we'd get there.

[silverscreenselect]

1 1/2 more:

Paul Scofield = THOMAS MORE

Thomas + Cameron Mitchell = Thomas Mitchell (Hunchback)
Kenneth Branagh + More = Kenneth More (Night to Remember)

Russell Crowe = John Nash
Clarence Muse + Nash = Clarence Nash (Caballeros)

[mellytu74]

Can the missing pie-in-face guy be Sennett comedian BILLY BEVAN?

That would give us

A-70. BRAD DAVIS played BILLY HAYES in Midnight Express
A-55. BILLY BEVAN + B-25. ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES = BILLY HALOP
A-54. HELEN MIRREN + B-22. AIRPORT = HELEN HAYES

[silverscreenselect]

Robert Redford was Bob Woodward in All the President's Men

And I cheated on this one a bit (to verify John Cusack)

John Cusack played Buck Weaver in Eight Men Out.

Buck + Charlotte Henry = Buck Henry (Heaven Can Wait)
Dennis Quaid + Weaver = Dennis Weaver (Touch of Evil)

I've Googled some of these, so I know the pie-in-the-face man isn't Billy Bevan (or Jimmy Durante, for that matter.) I don't want to come right out and say the answer, because I think some of you cognoscenti might still come up with it.

OK. Thanks. I would think it almost HAS to be a Sennett person, though.

IIRC from these quizzes, the person credited with throwing the first pie is Mabel Normand. So the recipient of same pie would have to be a contemporary.

Maybe Ben Turpin, with his famously crossed-eyes, would be it.
