A-40. At age 18, she made one of the most highly anticipated film debuts of all time, playing a character who was substantially younger than herself.
How old was Sue Lyon when she filmed Lolita? Certainly not as young as Lolita was supposed to be.
I don't think Sue Lyon is the type actress we're looking for anyway since no one was really anticipating her debut. It might be someone who was already well known as a singer or a model perhaps.

Oops. I made a mistake about the age here. I'll stand by the rest of the clue, since the 'anticipated debut' meant people were anxious to see who would be playing what was considered to be the impossible-to-cast role of Lolita.

All the definite answers are correct.
Of the questions that have a single answer with a question mark, nine are correct and three are not.
Of the questions that have several alternatives with question marks, three include the right answer and two do not.

[quote="plasticene"]
B-14. This Oscar-winning film was inspired by a series of Pulitzer-winning newspaper articles.
THE KILLING FIELDS?
From a quick Google, I confirmed that The Killing Fields was inspired by a Pulitzer-winning article. I don't know for sure that it's the only such film.

The rest I'm not so sure of.

OK, this one was bothering the hell out of me, so I just had to look it up. I'll put it in a spoiler, in case you don't want to use it, but I can say safely that it's not Burstyn.
Spoiler
It's ESTELLE PARSONS

MORNING CONSOLIDATION
Good morning, quizzers.
To clear up -- I added the question marks, based on my past experience about getting too cocky on a Frank Tangredi puzzle.
Mea culpa.
Per Frank's last message: The three incorrect single question marks were Ellen Burstyn (Parsons), The Killing Fields (On the Waterfront) and Friendly Persuasion (It's Shenandoah). As soon as KT said Estelle Parsons, I knew it was right.
Per Frank's last message: Of the several alternatives, three were correct. They are Terry Moore, Sue Lyon and This Gun for Hire.

All of the definite answers on this consolidation are correct.
I fear I made A-18 too hard, so I will say you are indeed looking for the actress daughter of half of a comedy team, as many of you speculated. Neither the actress nor the team is obscure.
A-28 is what it is. I promise you, once you've heard this actress's voice, you cannot forget it. (But it isn't Glynis Johns.)
For A-30, I can't think of a single clue other than what I've given. The sister really is one of the BIG names of international cinema. We're talking Liv Ullmann--Toshiro Mifune--Gerard Depardieu big.
B-20 is probably the most obscure movie on the list. I needed it for a reason, so I wouldn't worry about it now.
B-40 will make somebody kick themselves.
Good job!

B-40. The comical seduction duet from this movie won an Oscar.
BUTTONS AND BOWS?
There's a couple I can think of that might fit this description.
BABY, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE? IN THE COOL, COOL COOL OF THE EVENING?
Or, while we're talking about Bob Hope, how about THANKS FOR THE MEMORY?
BELLA NOTTE didn't win an Oscar, did it? Althpugh, except for the spaghetti, it's not a duet, is it?

A-28. Possessor of one of the most memorable voices in the movies, she is probably best remembered for her roles in three classic Ealing comedies.
Could this possibly be JOAN GREENWOOD? I think her voice is distinctive.
The only things I remember her in are Tom Jones, Stage Struck and Kind Hearts & Coronets. Is Kind Hearts & Coronets an Ealing?

Baby It's Cold Outside is unequivocally a seduction duet. The guy comes as close to trying to talk her out of her clothes as anyone could in a 1949 move! In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening describes a big party and Thanks for the Memory is sung by a divorced couple looking back on their life together.

Frank said: I fear I made A-18 too hard, so I will say you are indeed looking for the actress daughter of half of a comedy team, as many of you speculated. Neither the actress nor the team is obscure.
A-18. Her first film appearance with her famous father was also his last film appearance with his equally famous partner.
I am throwing out the names of comedy teams to see if something sticks. I'm not even sure some of these old vaudeville teams even made it to the movies.
Burns & Allen, Smith & Dale, Olsen & Johnson, Weber & Fields, Gallagher & Shean, Abbott & Costello, Laurel & Hardy, Martin & Lewis, Rowan & Martin, Bob Hope & Bing crosby.
Are the old ones too obscure?
Nothing is coming to me at all.

Rae Dawn Chong's filmography checks out for this one.mellytu74 wrote:Has Rae Dawn Chong ever been in a movie with her father?
And, if so, was it his last movie with Cheech Marin?
ANd Francoise Dorleac was Deneuve's sister.
Just looking at some of these names indicates that there may be some for of anagramming or playing with spelling of the actress' names involved here.

Rae Dawn's first appearance with papa was the last movie made with an alternate title of the form "Cheech and Chong's _____", but Marin and Chong technically did appear together in a later film called "Far Out Man". I'm not sure if that counts or not.silverscreenselect wrote:Rae Dawn Chong's filmography checks out for this one.mellytu74 wrote:Has Rae Dawn Chong ever been in a movie with her father?

CLASS OF 1999
CLASS OF 1999
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Thinking out loud, hoping to spur someone's brain cells, since mine obviously aren't working...
Frank said that he "needed [CLASS OF 1999] for a reason". So...what reason?
It probably isn't for Malcolm MacDowell or Stacy Keach -- he could have used a ton of other movies for them. And they're the only recognizable names in the cast of 1999.
Director Mark Lester? There are plenty of other choices there, too...including the considerably better "Class of '84" and such gems as "Commando" and "Firestarter".
So it MUST have something to do with the title itself, and specifically the 1999 part of it (since "Class of '84" has the first two words in it!). 1999...is a Prince song. And along with "12 ANGRY MEN" and "42ND STREET" (or "42ND ST."....more on that in a second) is one of only 3 titles with a number in it.
There are a also three titles with titles in them: DR. STRANGELOVE, DR. NO, and HERE COMES MR. JORDAN.
And three (or more) with punctuation: CATS & DOGS; DANCE GIRL, DANCE; and LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS, plus the periods in the titles and "ST." in 42ND ST.
Why CATS & DOGS and not "The Truth About Cats and Dogs"? Why ROCKY and not one of the sequels? Why THE TWO TOWERS and not one of the other LOTR movies? And why both GLORY and PATHS OF GLORY?
Frank loves his anagrams, but I defy anyone to anagram DR. NO and DINER to anything helpful....
And finally, there's BREATHLESS...Jean-Luc Godard? Jean-Paul Belmondo? Jean Seberg? That's pretty much all it's got, except for the horrendous Richard Gere remake.
*sigh*...I love Frank's puzzles, but they DO give me agita.

Hate to tell you this, but I already guessed both Class of 1999 and The Faculty for this one and Frank said both of them were wrong.KillerTomato wrote:B-20. This movie was not set in a place called Stepford High – but it might as well have been.
CLASS OF 1999

CLASS OF 1999
That's what I get for skimming. Mea culpa.
I'll have to keep thinking then. The only thing that immediately springs to mind is "Mean Girls"....but I doubt that's it.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Re: I think we're down to just needing the Tangredi...
Apparently, there are way too many movies that fit this clue, so let me give you the plot synopsis from IMDB:
"A man moves to a new town and gets harassed by these annoyingly perfect 'good kids'. He makes friends with the local rejects, one of which is a conspiracy theorist, another who is an albino, and a third who soon becomes a romantic interest. Together they discover that the jocks are actually lobotomized zombies and that they're next in line. "
