Game #157: Encore

[franktangredi]

I think I have everyone's answers. An advance mea maxima culpa if I don't.

Is the myopia one Ethel Waters/Dorothy Dandridge? Dandridge was Best Actress but Waters was supporting Actress.

Let me be clear on that. I overlooked Psycho completely when I wrote my question about the stabbing. That was my myopia, thinking only about the scene I had in mind and not other obvious alternate scenes.

[franktangredi]

Of the actors, one of the definites is incorrect. Three with a question mark are incorrect. (One, I think I've made clear, is Martin Balsam because I overlooked him.) All of the answers with alternate choices include the correct answer.

Of the movies, only one with a question mark is incorrect. All of the answers with alternate choices include the correct answer.

Game #157: Encore
Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 40 movies in List B. (For questions A-1 and A-2, you need to identify both actors involved in the given dialogue; every other clue after that is a quotation.) Then, pair one actor with one movie according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. There will be a total of 87 pairs.

Seven actors will be used twice. Thirteen movies will be used twice, ten will be used three times, one will be used four times, one will be used six times, and one will be used seven (!) times.

CATE BLANCHETT?

A-4. “It's good, and it's bad. There's a guaranteed return, and that's good. But the guarantor is Amusa, and Amusa's a rookie, and that's bad. But it's an easily transportable object, and that's good. Only it's in a rotten position in the museum, thirty steps to the quickest exit, and that's bad. And the glass over the stone, that's bad too, because that's glass with metal mixed in it, bulletproof, shatterproof. But the locks don't look impossible, three, maybe five tumblers. But there's no alarm system, and that's the worst, because that means no one's going to get lazy watching, knowing the alarm will pick up their mistakes. Which means the whole thing has got to be a diversion job, and that's good and that's bad, because if the diversion's too big, it'll draw pedestrians, and if the diversion's not big enough, it won't draw that watchman.”

ROBERT REDFORD

A-5. This one-time WWI intelligence officer was a lifelong friend of the man who wrote the score for the musical in Clue B-33.

'Cause after all, women can have babies, which is kind of like creating. And which also accounts for the fact that women are so attracted to men... 'cause let's face it... the Devil is a hell of a lot more interesting! Believe me, I've slept with some saints in my day, I know what I'm talking about. So the whole point in life is for men and women to get married... so that God and the Devil can get together and work it out. Not that we have to get married. God forbid.”

People's memories aren't too long.’ And you know, in a way, he'll be right. Some of the people will forget, and some of them won't. Oh, you'll have a show. Maybe not the best hour or, you know, top 10. Maybe not even in the top 35. But you'll have a show. It just won't be quite the same as it was before. Then a couple of new fellas will come along. And pretty soon, a lot of your fans will be flocking around them. And then one day, somebody'll ask: ‘Whatever happened to, a, whatshisname? You know, the one who was so big.

ALL ABOUT EVE

[mellytu74]

I think I have everyone's answers. An advance mea maxima culpa if I don't.

Is the myopia one Ethel Waters/Dorothy Dandridge? Dandridge was Best Actress but Waters was supporting Actress.

Let me be clear on that. I overlooked Psycho completely when I wrote my question about the stabbing. That was my myopia, thinking only about the scene I had in mind and not other obvious alternate scenes.

Rats - I just realized I didn't include SABOTAGE as the movie with the stabbing.

I can't remember who's in it, either. Sylvia Sidney? Oscar Holmolka? Do I have the wrong movie?

[mellytu74]

Of the actors, one of the definites is incorrect. Three with a question mark are incorrect. (One, I think I've made clear, is Martin Balsam because I overlooked him.) All of the answers with alternate choices include the correct answer.

Of the movies, only one with a question mark is incorrect. All of the answers with alternate choices include the correct answer.

NO IDEA on the incorrect actor.


B-23. The only surviving print of this Best Picture nominee – adapted from a scandalous Victorian best-seller – resides in the UCLA film archive.

THE WHITE PARADE?

No - It's that old chestnut EAST LYNNE. I had no idea it was Oscar-nominated.

A couple of ideas on choices:

B-15. Winning an Oscar for this film made its star the first male to win in both acting categories.

MISTER ROBERTS? SAVE THE TIGER?

I am not sure this can be Save the Tiger, because Lemmon was already an established star when it came out.

B-11. Although the words “Germany” and “Jew” are never spoken on screen, the Nazis got the message: they banned this 1940 film and every subsequent MGM film.

THE GREAT DICTATOR? THE MORTAL STORM?

Was Chaplin still releasing films through United Artists when The Great Dictator came out? If so, it The Mortal Storm (which is definitely an MGM movie).

[mellytu74]

B-15. Winning an Oscar for this film made its star the first male to win in both acting categories.

MISTER ROBERTS? SAVE THE TIGER?

I am not sure this can be Save the Tiger, because Lemmon was already an established star when it came out.

OK. I COMPLETELY MISREAD THIS QUESTION.

I thought it was "made a star of the first male ...."

SO ---- SAVE THE TIGER

[mellytu74]

A-63. This young actor caused a stir when he turned down the role of Charles Lindbergh due to his dislike of Lindy’s pro-Nazi sympathies.

JAMES DEAN?

Turns out this is JOHN KERR.

[franktangredi]

B-23. The only surviving print of this Best Picture nominee – adapted from a scandalous Victorian best-seller – resides in the UCLA film archive.

THE WHITE PARADE?

No - It's that old chestnut EAST LYNNE. I had no idea it was Oscar-nominated.

You weren't too far off. The only surviving print of The White Parade is also at the UCLA film archive.

[mellytu74]

B-23. The only surviving print of this Best Picture nominee – adapted from a scandalous Victorian best-seller – resides in the UCLA film archive.

THE WHITE PARADE?

No - It's that old chestnut EAST LYNNE. I had no idea it was Oscar-nominated.

You weren't too far off. The only surviving print of The White Parade is also at the UCLA film archive.

I knew that The White Parade hasn't been released to any kind of video/DVD medium, so that's why it was my first thought.

East Lynne was ancient in 1931, when it was nominated. There were at least six silent versions and it was probably old when the first one was made! I would LOVE to see that version.

[mellytu74]

I think I cleaned up everything. The wrong definite actor was Lionel Barrymore in Key Largo. It's Bogart in Key Largo. I heard Barrymore's voice in my head.

Game #157: Encore

B-26. “I was prepared to sue you. I don't know who I am, but I'm sure I have a lawyer.”

A couple more ...

B-2. “You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, ‘Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness.’ You call yourself a free spirit, a ‘wild thing,’ and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself.”

I am pretty sure this George Peppard telling off Audrey Hepburn in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S

B-24. “Cold are the hands of time that creep along relentlessly, destroying slowly but without pity that which yesterday was young. Alone our memories resist this disintegration and grow more lovely with the passing years. Heh! That's hard to say with false teeth!”

The Weinie King in THE PALM BEACH STORY

One thing I keep coming back to is East Lynne.

Ann Harding was the star. She also starred as Linda Seaton in the original Holiday.
Katharine Hepburn played Linda Seaton in the remake.

Ralph Bellamy played the fiance in His Girl Friday.
Susan Sarandon, who was in Atlantic City, played the same role in the remake (the third version of The Front Page)

Rosalind Russell played the reporter in his Girl Friday.
Jack Lemmon, who was in Save the Tiger, played the same role in the remake (the third version of the Front Page)

I just don't see enough here to make the case for this, though.

A-28. “I think people should mate for life, like pigeons or Catholics.”
This really sounds like a Woody Allen line - not sure which movie.

What if we broaden things Actor 1 appears in one movie, Actor 2 appears in a remake - not sure yet where the movie in list b would fit in as the link - Mathew Broaderick was in the remake of the Producers which starred Zero Mostel. Frank using quotes from the movie that was the link seems a little to obvious - so I'm not sure this is correct.

The problem with that is Miyoshi Umeki. She only made five movies and none of them were remakes or remade. She did appear on The Courtship of Eddie's Father, but Frank usually won't include TV show remakes and, in any event, her role in the film was played by Roberta Sherwood who didn't make any other movies.

The Tangredi only matches one actor with one film.

Exactly. We run into the same thing with Josephine Hull and her handful of movies. Or Ethel Merman, for that matter. Not that many movies.

A-3. This actress completes the following list: Cate Blanchett, Robert DeNiro, Paul Newman, Joe Pesci.

CATE BLANCHETT?

I just noticed that this answer appeared. I'd been trying to figure out this question and I was wondering how Cate Blanchett completes a list that she's already on? And exactly what the criteria is for making this list?
I think Bob Juch suggested this answer - I didn't see what 'rule' he was applying.

I don't know the right answer - some ideas - Cate Blanchett won an oscar playing an oscar winning actress (Kate Hepburn), DeNiro won playing a role previously played by Brando who won an Oscar for the same role (Vito Corleone) , Paul Newman won for a role he was previously nominated for playing Fast Eddie - nominated in The Hustler, won in The Color of Money, not sure how Joe Pesci fits in - he was nominated for playing Jake LaMotta's brother, DeNiro won for that role, he won for Goodfella's but I don't think the character of Tommy was in any previous movie or the person he played ever won an oscar in real life.[/quote]

You have provided all the information you need to recognize the link, but it's much simpler than that.[/quote]

Those are all Scorsese movies, right? So I think it's ELLEN BURSTYN.

A-5. This one-time WWI intelligence officer was a lifelong friend of the man who wrote the score for the musical in Clue B-33.

Could this be MONTY WOOLEY?

Cleaning up a couple that are still out there.

A-40. “You are a caged lion! But lions can't be captive their entire lives. They have to be free to roam the bush. Free and wild! Your wife is a hot sexy tigress and she's waiting for you to pounce on her! Let me hear you roar, baby, roar! Your body is talking to me. It's hungry for action! I can feel it. Unleash the beast inside you, Jack!”

What about TV movie remakes? I know it's out of character for a Tangredi "Movie game," but it would certainly fit the criteria for me. Glenn Ford starred in Fate is the Hunter, and he also starred in Teahouse of the August Moon, where Lotus Blossom was played by Michiko Kyo, and later played by Miyoshi Umeki in the TV movie remake.
