I'm a big JB fan, but not remembering her paired with these others. George

Casablanca? (Of course, Michael York would have been quite young...) George

I have not seen any of the HP films. I could name a couple of actors who I know were in some of the movies, but not these, specifically. (And no, I don't know the name of the actor who plays HP.) Either someone else moves this one, or we wait three days. George

Yes, Bonnie and Clyde. Estelle Parsons was the only Oscar winner, though Beatty, Dunaway, and Hackman were certainly better known. Wilder had a minor (but nonnegligible role. Dunaway's beret was all the fashion. George

Your analysis is correct. I'm surprised that you haven't hit on the movie. George

This movie was the film debut of Gene Wilder. It appeared just before "The Producers." Wilder did not have a major role. Of the four main stars, three were nominated for Oscars. Only one won one (Best Supporting Actress), though, arguably the least familiar of the four. Warner Brothers had so little faith in the film that they offered first-time Producer (and star) 40 percent of the gross, instead of a minimal fee. The movie went on to gross over $70 million. When that star was on-board as producer only, Shirley MacLaine was a strong possibility to costar. But when the producer decided to star, himself, for obvious reasons he decided not to use MacLaine. Thousands of berets were sold worldwide after one of the stars wore them in this film. The movie is based on real people. One of those people sued Warner Brothers over the way she was depicted in the film. This was after she had approved the script. Apparently, she thought the actress portraying her was not attractive enough and played her as too shrewish. (Incidentally, that actress was the one who won the Oscar.) George

I've never seen "Voyage of the Damned." Its title seemed aligned with at least a couple of the quotes. I don't "hear" any particular voice with the lines you accentuated. Almost sounds like a mom with her ne'er-do-well son. George

Well, "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue" are his MOST famous, but "Donna the Prima Donna," "Teenager in Love," and "Abraham, Martin, and John" are pretty well-known. I would recognize several others, as well. George

I was thinking "Voyage of the Damned" from this dialogue, but that story predates the Korean War. so, no. George

OK, fine. Donna the Prima Donna by Dion (and the Belmonts?) Whenever I heard this line: She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor I always thought it was She walks the beaches like Zsa Zsa Gabor. When I sing it in karaoke, it's She slaps policemen like Zsa Zsa Gabor. FREE POST. George

I used Darrin/Darrin from Bewitched and Bub/Uncle Charley from My Three Sons as examples of actor replacement in OTHER shows. George

Petticoat Junction is correct. Three ladies played Billie Jo (Jeannine Riley, Gunilla Hutton, and Meredith McRae -- the last two later appearing in Hee Haw!). The character name stayed the same (a la Darrin Stevens). Two ladies played Bobbi Jo (Pat Woodell, Lori Saunders). The character name stayed the same. Bea Benaderet ("Kate") died of cancer and was replaced by June Lockart ("Dr. Janet Craig" a new character). Mike Minor ("Steve") and Linda Henning ("Betty Jo" -- Paul Henning's daughter) got hitched in real life as well as on the show. "Green Acres" came a couple of years later. Situated in Hooterville, it crossed over with PJ a few times. The earlier show was "The Beverly Hillbillies." "Granny" was apparently from Hooterville and had had a romantic relationship with "Sam Drucker." "Hooterville" makes me think of Hooters. Especially the seen from the opening credits with the girls in the water tower with the lyric "Lots of curves, you bet! Even more, when you get -- to the junction!" WW is up. George

Yep. And you did it without DiCaprio. George
