A-9. This beloved British character actor appeared in both the first feature film in full Technicolor and the first 3-D feature.

Is Bwana Devil the first 3-D movie? I think we are looking for NIGEL BRUCE

I know one!

A-49. Six years after receiving his only Oscar nomination, he played a troubled teen who gets his girlfriend pregnant.

This is Brandon deWilde. He was nominated for Shane, then when he was a teenager he got his girlfriend pregnant in something called Blue Denim or something. The only reason I know that is because the school showed it to us to encourage us not to get pregnant.

A-17. WE HAD FACES THEN, PART ONE: The character actor in this photo was a specialist in blowhards and con-men.

He reminds me of one of the guys at the round table in Mr. Deeds Goes To Town - I think the one that asked Gary Cooper to punch him as well and then took him out on the drinking binge.

A-3. In one of his two films for Mel Brooks, this British actor parodied his most famous film scene.

I've been thinking about this one for a while and I realized it must be John Hurt - Spaceballs parodies the famous alien bursting out of his stomach then goes into the WB frog singing hello, my baby, and he was Jesus in History Of The World Part 1

B-38. “I'll give them a chance that they didn't give me. They will get a legal trial in a legal courtroom. They will have a legal judge and a legal defense. They will get a legal sentence and a legal death.”

This is another one I knew I had heard - it's Fritz Lang's Fury with Spencer Tracy.

A-42. “Oh Lord. Almighty God. It ain't for us ignorant mortals to say what's right and what's wrong. Was any one of us to be doin' of it, we'd not of bring this poor boy into the world a cripple, and his mind teched. We'd of bring him in straight and tall like his brothers, fitten to live and work and do. But in a way o' speakin', Lord, you done made it up to him. You give him a way with the wild creatures. You give him a sort of wisdom, made him knowin' and gentle. The birds come to him, and the varmints moved free about him, and like as not he could of takened a she wild-cat right in his pore twisted hands. Now you've done seed fit to take him where bein' crookedy in mind or limb don't matter. But Lord, it pleasures us to think now you've done straightened out them legs and that pore bent back and them hands. It pleasures us to think on him, movin' around as easy as any one. And Lord, give him a few red-birds and maybe a squirrel and a 'coon and a 'possum to keep him company, like he had here. All of us is somehow lonesome, and we know he'll not be lonesome, do he have them little wild things around him, if it ain't askin' too much to put a few varmints in Heaven. Thy will be done. Amen.”

I finally watched The Yearling about a month ago when it was on TCM, that's why this speech was so familiar: Gregory Peck says it regarding the death of his son's friend.

Now I must get some sleep.

Interesting that "Labyrinth" is an answer in this game. The only actors who appeared in this movie were David Bowie, Christopher Malcolm, and a very young Jennifer Connelly, who would later win an Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". I'm wondering if January is too early for one of Frank's Oscar-themed puzzled... although I don't know how Oscars would connect to hookers. Did Jennifer Connelly play a prostitute in anything?

Don't mind me. I'm just rambling.

YES! WALTER CATLETT!

Serves me right for only watching The More the Merrier in TCM's Jean Arthur tribute the other night.

A-33. Now 37 years old, this former child star has been in and out of rehab for drug and alcohol abuse, arrested three times for domestic violence – in incidents involving three different women – and ordered by a court to pay $15,00 in back child support despite telling the court he was completely broke.

COREY FELDMAN? MACAULAY CULKIN?

Corey Feldman has to be older than 37 now... The Goonies came out in 1985, which would have made him only 8 at the time. Macaulay fits the age range much better...

APOCALYPSE NOW? THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?

B-2. “No one really runs away from anything. It's like a private trap that holds us in like a prison. You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch.”
“Sometimes... we deliberately step into those traps.”
“I was born into mine. I don't mind it anymore.”

PSYCHO

B-3. A prominent composer/lyricist went on record as saying that this was the only screen adaptation of one of his stage musicals that he liked. (Whether that’s still true, we don’t know yet.)

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC? SWEENEY TODD?

B-4. “Whether it's love or hate doesn't matter; they can't keep away from each other. They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder! And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”

DOUBLE INDEMNITY

B-5. In its original language, the title of this classic film is Jungfrukällan.

THE VIRGIN SPRING

LOCAL HERO

THE CHINA SYNDROME

B-10. “I could stand the sight of worms /And look at microscopic germs /But technicolor pachyderms/ Is really much for me.”

DUMBO

B-11. Stephen Spielberg received his first Academy Award nomination for this movie.

THE PINK PANTHER? IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME?

TOPKAPI

B-14. “I'm gonna write a show for us and put on right here in Seaport. Why, it'll be the most up-to-date things these hicks around here have ever seen! Opening night we'll have Max Gordon, Sam Harris, Lee Schubert down to give us the once over. How about it, kids?”

BABES IN ARMS

B-15. The director with the most Academy Award nominations received his last for this 1965 drama.

THE COLLECTOR

B-16. “They look like big, good, strong hands, don't they? I always thought that's what they were.”

THE NEVERENDING STORY

B-17. The original director of this crime drama quit when his then-girlfriend – a fashion model – was replaced by another fashion model, who then proceeded to fall in love with the leading man and leave her then-husband, a noted producer. Got that?

THE GETAWAY

B-18. “If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies. See, your murderers come with smiles, they come as your friends, the people who've cared for you all of your life. And they always seem to come at a time that you're at your weakest and most in need of their help.”

GOODFELLAS

B-19. The original ads for this satirical comedy invited us to “consider the possibilities.”

LORD LOVE A DUCK? BOB & CAROL & TED & ALICE?

B-20. “Alright, alright. Think of it like this: jump ahead, ten, twenty years, okay, and you're married. Only your marriage doesn't have that same energy that it used to have, y'know. You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy.”

B-21. A thinly-disguised account of the murder of tobacco heir Zachary Smith Reynolds, this film was regarded as a trashy melodrama at the time of its release but later became a favorite of auteur critics.

WRITTEN ON THE WIND

B-22. “You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.”
“You admire it.”
“I admire its purity. A survivor – unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.”

ALIEN

B-24. “Put them in the iron maiden.”
“Iron Maiden? Excellent!”

BILL AND TED’S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE

B-25. The brothers who played the title roles in this movie died a little over a year apart, at the ages of 85 and 86.

B-26. “This country is run on epidemics, where you been? Price fixing, crooked TV shows, inflated expense accounts. How many honest men you know? Why you separate the saints from the sinners, you're lucky to wind up with Abraham Lincoln. Now I want out of this spread what I put into it, and I say let us dip our bread into some of that gravy while it is still hot.”

B-27. On Bravo’s list of “100 Scariest Movie Moments,” this was the highest-ranking film based on a stage play.

DRACULA? WAIT UNTIL DARK?

B-28. “Are you insane? Avoid all food not from a reputable vendor. It'll be washed in impure water.”
“It's just a sandwich. “
“Oh, marvelous. Then I'll have ham, cheese, and streptococcus. Or perhaps bacteria, lettuce, and tomato.”
“Would you like some of this? I believe it's called aloo ka paratha.”
“No, if I can't pronounce it, I don't want to eat it.

BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD GOTEL

B-29. Lena Horne and Linda Darnell both campaigned to play the title role in this movie; the actress who did play it eventually got an Oscar nomination for it.

PINKY

B-30. “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful young girl whose stepmother always made her stay home with the baby. And the baby was a spoiled child, and wanted everything to himself, and the young girl was practically a slave. But what no one knew is that the king of the goblins had fallen in love with the girl, and he had given her certain powers. So one night, when the baby had been particularly cruel to her, she called on the goblins for help!”

LABYRINTH

B-31. This was the second film in an unofficial trilogy that started with L’Avventura and ended with L’Eclisse.

LA NOTTE

B-32. “Ma, sooner or later, there comes a point in a man's life when he's gotta face some facts. And one fact I gotta face is that, whatever it is that women like, I ain't got it.”

MARTY

B-33. During the filming of this movie’s most famous scene, the director developed frostbite on one side of his face and the leading lady suffered damage to her right hand that still plagued her 73 years later.

WAY DOWN EAST

B-34. “Hey, neighbor! You s**t-for-brains, man! You forgot I have a police radio! One well-dressed f**kin' man knows where your f**kin' cute little butt's hidin'! Stupid f**k! F**k with me, man! Here I come, ready or not! You f**k! I can hear your f**kin' radio, you stupid s**t! You got about one f**kin' second to live, buddy! You're one sorry piece of s**t, mister. Hey, pretty, pretty! What the f**k? Where are you? Where are you?”

BLUE VELVET

B-35. A box office bomb when released in 2011, it has since achieved cult status. And if you’re wondering about the director’s intention, one critic explains that “it's right there in the title. He gives us what we want (or what we think we want, or what he thinks we think we want): Absurdly fetishized women in teeny little skirts, gloriously repetitious fight sequences loaded with plot coupons, pseudo-feminist fantasies of escape and revenge. Then he yanks it all back and stabs us through the eyeball.”
(I hope that clears that up for you.)

B-36. “Penguins have very much upset me! Animated, dancing penguins!”

SAVING MR. BANKS

B-37. This Oscar winner was the first movie to include scenes shot on location at Bellevue Hospital.

LOST WEEKEND? THE GODFATHER?

B-38. “I'll give them a chance that they didn't give me. They will get a legal trial in a legal courtroom. They will have a legal judge and a legal defense. They will get a legal sentence and a legal death.”

FURY

B-39. This film was inspired by an incident that took place at Big Dan’s Bar in Bedford, Massachusetts on March 6, 1983. (Big Dan lost his liquor license the next day.)

THE ACCUSED

B-40. “He was from my village. He was the village idiot.”
“Yeah, what did you do? Place?”

LOVE AND DEATH

B-41. Characters from the book who did not make it into this 1935 movie included Mrs. Mowcher, Mrs. Crupp, Mr. Creakle and Dr. Strong.

DAVID COPPERFIELD

B-42. “You mean we might be a father?”
“ No. I might be a father. And your mom might be a mother. And you might be a brother. See, that way I keep it all in the family.”
“Wow! Hey, I didn't think people your age –“
“The next word may be your last, kid!”

BREAKING AWAY

B-43. Denied permission to film in Jakarta, this movie was initially shot in the Manila, then moved to Sydney when the director and leading man received death threats.

B-44. “You mean you could've taken your hand out of that cuff at any time?”
“No, not at any time, only when it was funny.”

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT

B-45. More than 80 years after its release, this remains the only movie based on a comic strip to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture.

SKIPPY?

B-46. “It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that I'm sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin'. When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I'll be waiting.”

KILL BILL (VOLUME 1)

B-47. Mary was a 1999 Aston Martin DB7 . . . Stacey was a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray . . . Gina was a 1990 Lamborghini Diablo . . . Grace was a 2000 Rolls Royce Stretch Limousine. . . .

CARS? CHRISTINE?

B-48. Have you ever killed anyone?”
“Yeah, but they were all bad.”

TRUE LIES

B-49. The actress who played the adoptive mother of this film’s eponymous superhero had, 52 years earlier, won an Oscar playing opposite the actor who also played the same superhero’s biological father. Got that?

SUPERMAN RETURNS

B-50. “What are you doing?”
“Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool.”
“Why?”
“Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.”
“Have you thought about graduate school?”
“No.”
“Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?”
“You got me.”

THE GRADUATE

B-51. The movie referenced in Clue A-22 also featured a parody of the most famous scene of this wartime drama.

We know it’s not From Here to Eternity

B-52. “I'm happy that you've made the statement. But I cannot agree with most of my colleagues. See, I don't think an adult of your intelligence should be commended for simply, at long last, telling the truth.”

QUIZ SHOW

B-53. This film was based on the only novel by the first American to win the Nobel Prize for Literature to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Got that?

ARROWSMITH? DODWORTH? ELMER GANTRY? BABBITT?

B-54. “What I really want to do with my life - what I want to do for a living – is, I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it.”

SAY ANYTHING

B-55. A fresh-faced young actor/dancer is remembered today only for his performance in this musical and for being the victim of one of the most brutal murders in show business history.

HELLO, DOLLY!

B-56. “What's a logical explanation for a woman taking a trip with no luggage?”
“That she didn't know she was going on a trip and where she was going she wouldn't need any luggage.”

REAR WINDOW

B-57. The fifth-oldest actress to win a competitive Oscar did so for this movie, which also prominently features my favorite board game.

ROSEMARY’S BABY?

B-58. “The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. Then there's fifty feet of crap, and then there's us.”

MONEYBALL

B-59. The movie-within-this-movie is titled Je Vous Présente Paméla.

DAY FOR NIGHT

B-60. “What is your nationality?”
“I'm a drunkard.”

I think it's the scene where the soldier is leaving on the train and his wife/girlfriend is running next to the train. Which wartime movie is that from?

I don't know what the requirements for joining the prostitute union are, but what she did in Requiem for a Dream comes pretty darn close.

We know it’s not From Here to Eternity
I think it's the scene where the soldier is leaving on the train and his wife/girlfriend is running next to the train. Which wartime movie is that from?

Knowing Frank's love for character actors, could Dumbo be here for Verna Felton?

Not sure what the connection might be but we like Verna Felton.

And Herman Bing, Edward Brophy, Cliff Edwards and Sterling Holloway. Could be any of them.

B-43. Denied permission to film in Jakarta, this movie was initially shot in the Manila, then moved to Sydney when the director and leading man received death threats.

Among the actors, all the definites are correct. Of the ones that include several alternates, only one does not include the correct answer. (Well, technically, two do not include the correct name, but one of those two has the right guy.

Among the movies, only one of the definites is wrong, and that one doesn't matter because the wrong answer that's there works just as well as the right one. Of the ones with a single answer with a question mark, two are correct and one isn't it. Of the ones that include several alternates, six are correct and two are not. (The same two as last time.)

I'm waiting for someone to notice something.

Took the clues out of the actors because Frank said all the definites were correct.

“I was born into mine. I don't mind it anymore.”

B-4. “Whether it's love or hate doesn't matter; they can't keep away from each other. They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder! And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”

DOUBLE INDEMNITY

B-5. In its original language, the title of this classic film is Jungfrukällan.

BABES IN ARMS

B-15. The director with the most Academy Award nominations received his last for this 1965 drama.

THE NEVERENDING STORY

B-17. The original director of this crime drama quit when his then-girlfriend – a fashion model – was replaced by another fashion model, who then proceeded to fall in love with the leading man and leave her then-husband, a noted producer. Got that?

THE GETAWAY

B-18. “If you're part of a crew, nobody ever tells you that they're going to kill you, doesn't happen that way. There weren't any arguments or curses like in the movies.

You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy.”

B-21. A thinly-disguised account of the murder of tobacco heir Zachary Smith Reynolds, this film was regarded as a trashy melodrama at the time of its release but later became a favorite of auteur critics.

WRITTEN ON THE WIND

B-22. “You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.”

B-26. “This country is run on epidemics, where you been? Price fixing, crooked TV shows, inflated expense accounts. How many honest men you know?

Now I want out of this spread what I put into it, and I say let us dip our bread into some of that gravy while it is still hot.”

What the f**k? Where are you? Where are you?”

BLUE VELVET

B-35. A box office bomb when released in 2011, it has since achieved cult status. And if you’re wondering about the director’s intention, one critic explains that “it's right there in the title. He gives us what we want (or what we think we want, or what he thinks we think we want): Absurdly fetishized women in teeny little skirts, gloriously repetitious fight sequences loaded with plot coupons, pseudo-feminist fantasies of escape and revenge. Then he yanks it all back and stabs us through the eyeball.”
(I hope that clears that up for you.)

“Well, I would say that I'm just drifting. Here in the pool.”
“Why?”
“Well, it's very comfortable just to drift here.”
“Have you thought about graduate school?”
“No.”
“Would you mind telling me then what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?”
“You got me.”

THE GRADUATE

B-51. The movie referenced in Clue A-22 also featured a parody of the most famous scene of this wartime drama.

We know it’s not From Here to Eternity

B-52. “I'm happy that you've made the statement. But I cannot agree with most of my colleagues. See, I don't think an adult of your intelligence should be commended for simply, at long last, telling the truth.”

B-35. A box office bomb when released in 2011, it has since achieved cult status. And if you’re wondering about the director’s intention, one critic explains that “it's right there in the title. He gives us what we want (or what we think we want, or what he thinks we think we want): Absurdly fetishized women in teeny little skirts, gloriously repetitious fight sequences loaded with plot coupons, pseudo-feminist fantasies of escape and revenge. Then he yanks it all back and stabs us through the eyeball.”
(I hope that clears that up for you.)

B-48. TRUE LIES
B-49. SUPERMAN RETURNS
B-50. THE GRADUATE
B-51. SINCE YOU WENT AWAY
B-52. QUIZ SHOW

You start to blame your husband. You start to think about all those guys you've met in your life and what might have happened if you'd picked up with one of them, right? Well, I'm one of those guys. That's me y'know, so think of this as time travel, from then, to now, to find out what you're missing out on. See, what this really could be is a gigantic favor to both you and your future husband to find out that you're not missing out on anything. I'm just as big a loser as he is, totally unmotivated, totally boring, and, uh, you made the right choice, and you're really happy.”

It must be significant that all the actors are male.

I keep thinking about co-stars.

There has to be something there -- co-stars who were prostitutes?

But how do you account for Skippy and Dumbo - unless there's a Jackie Cooper role I missed someplace.
