Consolidation and clean-up time!



Game #161: Old Movies, New Movies

Identify the 45 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 50 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. On each list, three answers will be used twice and one will be used three times.

This one may be a bit tricky, but I think people will get it.

As the years went by, I learnt to stop sharing them with people. They said I was dreaming. But back then, I believed it wholeheartedly.

The days when you could just act out of your noble instincts, are over. Europe has become the arena of realpolitik, the politics of reality. If you like: real politics.

REMAINS OF THE DAY

And you, running around the neighborhood looking for her. Your daddy didn't have the heart to tell his son that he was looking for a suicide doper who was never coming home. If there's a Heaven, son, she ain't in it.”

B-42. The London Times ranked the subject of this 2001 biopic twelfth on a list of the 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945.

All of the completed matches on here are correct. Only one of the partials is wrong, and it's wrong because it's not really a biblical quote, it's a term you find in the Bible.

The answers with question marks are all correct. One suggested answer represents a screw-up on my part; I didn't consider that Vera Lynn had more than one signature song.

(By the way, Dame Vera Lynn will be 100 years old next year. At 92, she became the oldest artist to every hit #1 on the British album charts. That has nothing to do with the puzzle, I just think it's cool.)

A couple of things ....

A-12. JAMES DEAN = EAST OF EDEN with Julie Harris (B-30. MEMBER OF THE WEDDING)

A-41. DANIEL DAY-LEWIS = THERE WILL BE BLOOD with Ciaran Hinds (B-33. MUNICH)

A-1. GREGORY PECK = BEHOLD A PALE HORSE with Anthony Quinn (B-10. LA STRADA)

A-15. HUGH MARLOWE = WORLD WITHOUT END with Rod Taylor (B-43. 101 DALMATIANS)

B-38. This movie came out the same year as Pinky and covered some of the same ground from a male perspective.

I cannot remember the name of the movie but it's with Mel Ferrer as a doctor who passes for white. In New England in the 1930s. I think the "same year as Pinky" threw me because I thought it was a mid-1950s movie.

A-20. TYRONE POWER = THE SUN ALSO RISES with Mel Ferrer (B-38 Move about a guy passing)

A-13. LIONEL BARRYMORE = VALLEY OF DECISION with Greer Garson (B-2. MRS. MINIVER)

B-26. This wartime romance took its title from Vera Lynn’s signature song.

How about THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER?


A-5. SALLY FIELD = Eye for an Eye

Is Quo Vadis a biblical phrase? I always associate it with early Christians but didn't know if makes the cut. Because A-4 Peter Ustinov was in Quo Vadis with Robert Taylor of Three Comrades.

Wikipedia says "quo vadis" is from a 2nd century book called The Acts of Peter.

"The apostle" appears in Romans 11:13, but I'll concede that it's basically a one-word title. I'm standing firm on "Armageddon," though.

Quo Vadis was a mistake on my part. I misread the source. Sorry.

You're right about Armageddon and The Apostle.

Gotta get back to a project but ...

If Duvall isn't here for The Apostle, then he is here for Tender Mercies, which matches with The Man in the Moon's Tess Harper.

Are there any John Gielgud movies in List B to go with Ben Cross for "Chariots of Fire"?

Adding new information, including "Lost Boundaries", which was the Mel Ferrer film that Melly had in mind.


Game #161: Old Movies, New Movies

Identify the 45 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 50 pairs, each consisting of one movie and one actor, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself. On each list, three answers will be used twice and one will be used three times.

This one may be a bit tricky, but I think people will get it.

You found a couple of movies with titles I didn't think of and wish I had. I never knew Rebel Without a Cause was a biblical quote and I overlooked There Will Be Blood completely. Amazing that you can complete both matches with what's here.

I also intended Gregory Peck to be the actor used for Valley of Decision. This won't matter except in the final tally of who's used twice or three times.

One translation of the Bible includes the phrase "rebel without cause" (Psalms 25:3), but it doesn't really count because 1) it's not the King James translation and 2) it doesn't include the article "a". It's a biblical concept, but the wording isn't exact. I just included it for fun.

"There will be blood", as you might expect, references the plague of water turning to blood (Exodus 7:19). Depending on the translation you use, you'll see either "there may be blood" or "there will be blood". Again, it's an example of "it's a biblical concept, but the wording isn't exact".

A couple before I need to head back to work

A-16. BROOKE ADAMS = Days of Heaven with Richard Gere (B-37. PRETTY WOMAN)

A-30. PATRICK WILSON = Little Children with Kate Winslet (B-42. IRIS)

A-33. BRUCE WILLIS = ARMAGEDDON with Ben Affleck (B-41. THE TOWN)


If Gregory Peck was supposed to be here for Valley of Decision, then we need another Lionel Barrymore movie.

He and Beulah Bondi are driving me crazy.

One translation of the Bible includes the phrase "rebel without cause" (Psalms 25:3), but it doesn't really count because 1) it's not the King James translation and 2) it doesn't include the article "a". It's a biblical concept, but the wording isn't exact. I just included it for fun.

"There will be blood", as you might expect, references the plague of water turning to blood (Exodus 7:19). Depending on the translation you use, you'll see either "there may be blood" or "there will be blood". Again, it's an example of "it's a biblical concept, but the wording isn't exact".
I didn't insist on it being the King James translation, though most are because the language is so damn good.

I noticed that we haven't touched The Duke yet.

He could be here for "Noah's Ark".

"A Man Betrayed", "The High and the Mighty", and "The Wings of Eagles" are also in the John Wayne resume... but again, the exact words don't match with KJV.
"[Drumpf's] name alone creates division and anger, whose words inspire dissension and hatred, and can't possibly 'Make America Great Again.'" --Kobe Bryant (1978-2020)

One of them is correct, because I wasn't limiting myself to the KJV and found a version that used the exact wording above.

the Wings of Eagles will get a us match with his frequent co-star Maureen O'Hara of B-11, The Parent Trap.

The High and the Mighty will get us a match with Robert Stack, co-star of B-23 to Be or Not To Be.

SO .....
