ONE MORE TIME: HARD NUTS TO CRACK
Well, it looks like Auld Lang Syne to my fellow posters/players. Over the years I've had a ball making up these eclectic trivia games. I can only hope you all had as much fun playing them I did in making them up. Do I remember most of this "stuff": Oh, I'd say about 20% of it! - Lol = Happy Times ahead for all of you!!
Isle of you all = Scottsford.
[P.S. mrsehj-1 graciously informed me of the new forum, so it's just Goodbye to this particular site, I reckon! : see you later - albeit much less frequently]
Hope you guys enjoy this one! :
A. IN Baby Face, you'll find them lined on the pillows - on "richer" Lily Power's bed
B. The Duke * "The Penguin" of TV's famed thirties melo * Ethel Vance story enacted by Bette Bernhardt * Mr. Steinbeck wrote it
C. Dietrich personally believed that she was at the apex of her alluring beauty in this movie {Certainly careful lighting and fine photography helped!}
D. Stage play-based flicker for Pearlie Mae * Miss Hartley's POLAROID-selling partner * Had a crush on Miss Crabtree: we need to know his real-life Uncle * Definitive role for "Tony" of the movies
E. The terrific Miss Astor * Place in Plumas County, CA * U.S. Prez from the 1800's * Line from Marie in Dinner at Eight
F. Jason O'Mara * Clarinetist Fountain * SHE was The Phantom Lady * Round-faced cutie: Miss Carroll of early talkies
G. Ward Bond * Bess Flowers * Tom London * Mel Blanc
H. Listen, Mack: Diets are for those who are thick and tired of it!
I. Cal Trask's Mama * Jean Parker was first-billed in this one * Mr. Morris - in Technicolor, 1938 * Lucy chose a girlfriend to recite it on a midnight half-hour TV slot - courtesy of Caroline Appleby...
J. Because of the subject's great speaking voice, Mr. DeMille literally chased him down the street and hired him on the spot. Appeared in 4 of his movies.
K. Night of the Eagle * Murder at the Gallop * Walt Disney * Gladiolas, for example
L. Take your pick: The IMDb says both of these movies were the highest-grossers at the B/O for 1932
M. WHO is featured on the cover Of Theatre magazine for June, 192O?
N. Ingrid Bergman * Margaret Sullavan * Betty Field * She was Mrs. Danvers in 194O
O. NAME the sixth Top-Grossing silent film of all-time
P. Film Daily chose it as #5 of all the Ten Best Films of 194O
Q. THEY were Thomas Alva Edison's two favorite actresses (mind you, he passed in 1931)
R. IT was the #1 song on the Hit Parade on 12/7/41: the day Pearl Harbor was bombed
S. IT'S the name of the castle featured in the cheap-jack chiller comedy "The Headless Ghost"
T. Francis X. Bushman * Robert Culp * Cass Dailey * Beulah Bondi
U. THIS living legend of the world of comedy's favorite film is ROMANCE with Garbo the Great
V. Screen Director's Playhouse: on 11/18/49 presented this story - with June Foray and John Denhner in the supporting cast! = Ray Milland reprised his role as Rick Fitzgerald in the ghost chiller I'm not familiar with (sic) = "THE UNINVITED" = jervistetch
W. "Probably the greatest performance ever recorded on the screen by a U.S. actress" gushed this magazine's reviewer of whom in which movie? = Now, interestingly enough, this was NOT the LIFE magazine America grew to know and love which made it's debut in 1936. Reviewer for the older magazine with the same name was speaking of Bette "Bernhardt" Davis in OF HUMAN BONDAGE. It was a ferocious - almost "experiment" in acting back in 1934 & shocked many due to her rawness and "realism". Today it seems to work "fitfully" = jervistech
X. NOW, this legendary still-with-us singing Diva's favourite film is this - rather unlikely one: The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex
Y. The Big Street * Waterloo Bridge {'4O} * Arise, My Love * She Done Him Wrong
Z. IT'S probably the most mis-quoted line from all of B.D.'s movies (Peter has nothing to do with it! - lol)
