[kroxquo]

Does anyone see a film with Lucille Ball and a Lucy actress because looking at Hoagy Carmichael, all I can hear is Gale Gordon yelling, "MMMMMMMrs. Carmichael!"

[silverscreenselect]

B-50 12 Angry Men with E.G. Marshall (Lawrence Preston on The Defenders - I looked this one up for the character name) goes with A-23 Lawrence Tierney and A-68 Robert Preston

Partials

A-62 Ned Beatty and A-49 Ed Flanders equals Ned Flanders (Harry Shearer) from The Simpsons
A-82 Mike Myers and A-16 Armie Hammer equals Mike Hammer, played by Stacy Keach and Darren McGavin at different times

[franktangredi]

Well, that didn't take long! Which is kind of what I expected.

[mrkelley23]

Sorry I didn't get in on this one sooner -- work is super busy right now. Congrats to everyone, and to SSS for getting the Tangredi!

[silverscreenselect]

B16 Bruce Almighty with Jennifer Aniston as Rachel Green (Friends) = A15 Rachel Roberts + A53 Tom Green

[silverscreenselect]

A-77. This comedian has given voice to a white rabbit in an animated feature and to Kanye West in a music video.

Once I knew what I was looking for, this one was easy. This is KEVIN HART, who goes with A40 Jonathan Winters for Jonathan Hart, played by Robert Wagner (B1 Towering Inferno) in Hart to Hart.

[mellytu74]

Does anyone see a film with Lucille Ball and a Lucy actress because looking at Hoagy Carmichael, all I can hear is Gale Gordon yelling, "MMMMMMMrs. Carmichael!"

The Lucille Ball movie is Stage Door.

B-14. “I think back to that Christmas morning and I wish I'd just gotten a Teddy Ruxpin.”
“Say that again.”
“Teddy Rux-f**kin'-pin.”

This is TED, which gives us a Mark Wahlberg movie.

[mellytu74]

A-72. “Oh, earth, you're too wonderful for anybody to realize you! Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it – every, every minute?”

MARTHA SCOTT in Our Town

[mellytu74]

Do we have a Molly Ringwald movie?

A-57. This English actress played the female lead in a Rex Harrison musical that most emphatically did not need a female lead.

This is SAMANTHA EGGAR in Doctor Doolittle.

A-83. Her onscreen fathers included Rock Hudson, Charles Bickford, and Karl Malden.

Carroll Baker

Samantha Baker was Molly Ringwald's character in Sixteen Candles.

And, since Ringwald is the clue above Eggar, it would give us a second use for her.

[mellytu74]

Does anyone see a film with Lucille Ball and a Lucy actress because looking at Hoagy Carmichael, all I can hear is Gale Gordon yelling, "MMMMMMMrs. Carmichael!"

The Lucille Ball movie is Stage Door.

Lucy Liu was in Kill Bill Volume 1 - could she be the Lucy we need?

Checking and rechecking the actor list

[mellytu74]

I will put this in proper form when i get to a real computer:

B-10. Is BANANAS

Mary Astor +

A-91. Her last film role before her suicide was as a motherly mouse.

ELIZABETH HARTMAN

B-10 - Louise Lasser (Mary Hartman)

[silverscreenselect]

Samantha Baker can't be the match because they're looking for characters from TV shows, not movies. The Samantha Frank is looking for is Samantha Jones (Sex and the City) played by Kim Cattrall, which matches with Doug Jones.

[silverscreenselect]

B-45. Oscar-wise, this movie completes a list that also includes Born Yesterday, Funny Girl, and the film in Clue B-19.

The Miracle Worker? Children of a Lesser God?

I was wrong about this one. I thought it referred to actresses who won Best Actress Oscars in their screen debuts, but Judy Holliday had appeared in several movies before Born Yesterday. It's actresses who won both Oscars and Tonys for the same role. So the answer is The Miracle Worker with Anne Bancroft. But that yields

Patty Duke (as Cathy Lane on the Patty Duke show) goes with A21 Cathy Moriarty and A66 Nathan Lane.

Okay - that makes sense.

[mellytu74]

Looking over the consolidation:

A-27. When Richard Burton turned down the role of a child molester in order to do Camelot, this actor got the part – and an Oscar nomination.

James Mason

A-88. “Very well, if that’s the way you want it. Very well, if you won’t play for me, you shan’t play for anyone else ever again!”

JAMES MASON


A-88 is Mason in The Seventh Veil. So, I am thinking A-27 needs to be someone else.

[mellytu74]

And putting this in proper form:

B-10. BANANAS with Louise Lasser as Mary Hartman with A-19. Mary Astor and A-91 Elizabeth Hartman

A-27 is STUART WHITMAN in The Mark

[mellytu74]

B-28. Bridesmaids.

Jon Hamm was in Bridesmaids. In Mad Men, he played Don Draper - whose real name was Dick Whitman. Which could go with Stuart Whitman. If we have a first name of Dick someplace.

[mellytu74]

B-49. Showgirls with Kyle MacLachlan - Dale Cooper in Twin Peaks. A-69. Dale Evans + A-7. Jackie Cooper

[mellytu74]

B-24. “I had a garage band in Stockholm, which was a challenge in its own right, you know, to keep an instrument tuned with that temperature swing. You know, there's a block warmer for the Volvo in the garage but it's pretty cold in there in the winter. So, we played and I had a hit that you might have heard of. ‘Hur hänger det, mormor?’ which means, ‘How's It Hanging, Grandma?’ and it was big on the Swedish charts.”

This is A MIGHTY WIND

So, here's the Harry Shearer movie

[mellytu74]

Samantha Baker can't be the match because they're looking for characters from TV shows, not movies. The Samantha Frank is looking for is Samantha Jones (Sex and the City) played by Kim Cattrall, which matches with Doug Jones.

I went crazy looking for a Cattrall movie.

Instead, I think it's this:

B-25. The Court Martial of Billy Mitchell with Elizabeth Montgomery - Samantha Stevens in Bewitched. A-57. SAMANTHA EGGAR + A-35. Connie Stevens

[mellytu74]

B-29. Lost Horizon with Jane Wyatt - Margaret Anderson in Father Knows Best. A-98. Margaret Hamilton + ?


B-5. The Yearling with Jane Wyman - Angela Channing on Falcon Crest. A-14. Angela Cartwright + A-99. Stockard Channing


I KNEW this one had to be here someplace

B-13. A Farewell To Arms with Rock Hudson - Stuart McMillan in McMillan and Wife. A-27. Stuart Whitman + A-67. Kenneth McMillan
