I[m pretty sure that no one from Wilson on had a beard of mustache. TR had a mustache. So, did Harding, Coolidge, or Hoover have one? That's why I guessed Coolidge. George

Spitballing here.... Teddy Roosevelt??????

That's it! CORRECT! (I'm fairly confident Audrey Hepburn SAW this movie, at any rate.)

Still sounds Marx Brothers-y to me. Horse Feathers? George

"Those east coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear." George

Brokeback Mountain? George

Coolidge? George

Hm. This movie enters the public domain in a few years. By the way, something in this movie is a lot more famous than the rest of this movie- exactly one word in this movie is very famous. I saw it referenced in a novel (a novel completely unrelated to this movie) a few years before it became even more famous (for reasons unrelated to this movie) due to a different movie. Also, the only existing source material for this movie includes a scene with a number of splices in it- which is distracting when you try to watch the scene, especially for the first time.

"You sing high, huh?" "Yes,I have a falsetto voice." "My grandmother, she's got a falsetto teeth." "I love good music." "So do I. Let's get out of here!" "This is the first time I've been out in a canoe since I saw The American Tragedy." "Oh, you're perfectly safe, Professor, in this boat." "I don't know. I was going to get a flat bottom but the girl at the boat house didn't have one." "Well you know, Professor, I could go on like this, drifting and dreaming forever. What a day! Spring in the air." "Who, me? I should spring in the air and fall in the lake?" "Oh, Professor, you're full of whimsy." "Can you notice it from there? I'm always that way after I eat radishes." "Last week at this same hour I told you that Mrs. Moskowitz was expecting a blessed event. Well, last night, Mrs. Moskowitz had twins. O-kay, Mr Moskowitz!" " As you know, there is constant warfare between the red and white corpuscles. Now then, baboons, what is a corpuscle?" "That's easy. First is-a captain, then is-a lieutenant, then is-a corpuscle." "That's fine. Why don't you bore a hole in yourself and let the sap run out? We now find ourselves among the Alps. The Alps are a simple people who live on a diet of rice and old shoes. Beyond the Alps lies more Alps, and 'the Lord Alps those that Alp themselves.' We then come to the bloodstream. The blood rushes from the head down to the feet, gets a look at those feet, and rushes back to the head again. This is known as Auction Pinochle. Now in studying your basic metabolism, the first thing we do is listen to your heart's beating. And if your Hearts are beating anything but Diamonds and Clubs, it's because your partner is cheating - or your wife." "Let us examine the circulatory system. Here is the liver." "What- no bacon? I'd send that back if I were you." "The liver, if neglected, invariably leads to cirrhosis. Of course, you are all familiar with the symptoms of cirrhosis." "Sure. So-roses are red. So-violets are blue. So-sugar is sweet. So-so are you." "Now here is a most unusual organ. The organ will play a solo immediately after the feature picture. Scientists make these deductions by examining a rat, or your landlord, who won't cut the rent. And what do they find? Asparagus!" "Dad, let me congratulate you. I'm proud to be your son." " My boy, you took the words right out of my mouth. I'm ashamed to be your father. You're a disgrace to our family name of Wagstaff, if such a thing is possible. What's all this talk I hear about you fooling around with the college widow? No wonder you can't get out of college. Twelve years in one college! I went to three colleges in twelve years and fooled around with three college widows!" "Members of the faculty, faculty members, students of Huxley and Huxley students - I guess that covers everybody. Well, I thought my razor was dull until I heard this speech. And that reminds me of a story that's so dirty I'm ashamed to think of it myself. As I look over your eager faces, I can readily understand why this college is flat on its back. The last college I presided over, things were slightly different- I was flat on my back. Things kept going from bad to worse but we all put our shoulders to the wheel, and it wasn't long before I was flat on my back again. Any questions? Any answers? Any rags? Any bones? Any bottles today? Any rags? Let's have some action around here. Who'll say 76? Who'll say 17 76? That's the spirit! 1776!"

Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away We are part of the fire that is burning And from the ashes we can build another day

Again, Audrey Hepburn does NOT appear in this movie. Audrey Hepburn was not in the cast of this movie. She is still not in the cast of this movie, and she will not be in the cast of this movie. (If there's any confusion about that now, I don't know how it happened, I did my best to be clear and unambiguous.)

waysider's up, and announced a FREE POST.

I use his name without the honorifics. I call him Victor Wierwille.

I don't reckon you have to go with women to be a good daddy to a boy. You been real square-dealin' with me. The Bible says two men ought not lay together. But I don't reckon the Good Lord would send anybody like you to Hades.

Or, I could give another clue. I caught some more presidential trivia last night. I'm going to do it. Our U.S. presidents have sported some fine facial hair, with beards and mustaches and side burns. Chester A Arthur comes to mind. Who was the last U.S. president to have facial hair?

What Dreams May Come Annabella Sciorra Rocky, oops, wrong movie Mr. Wonderful

Who's up, what's up, next up?

Now I'm thinking Marx Brothers, but I don't think they overlapped Hepburn at all. George

"Aqualung" and "Bungle in the Jungle" George

George

Shelley Duvall Popeye Robin Williams George

I don't think Raf has done one of these in a while, so he can have it if he wishes. George

As for Jethro Tull songs, I know George used to say he only knew "Aqualung", so I'm also curious which is the other song. It's not like they only had one other song that charted, it could be any of a number, in more than one decade.
