  1. Indeed. Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis ("Stony Curtis" to Flintstones fans) had previously co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in "Some Like It Hot." In this movie, they co-star with Natalie Wood. Rival daredevils, "The Great Leslie" (Curtis) and "Professor Fate" (Lemmon) compete in an auto race from New York to Paris. (Yes, they go over water, riding an ice floe across the Bering Strait.) Newspaper woman Maggie Dubois (Wood) enters as well, but connives a ride with Leslie when her Stanley Steamer craters. Lemmon also played Prince Frederick of Pottsdorf (and Fate, disguised as Frederick). The "Wacky Races" characters "Peter Perfect," "Dick Dastardly," and "Penelope Pitstop" were based on Leslie, Fate, and Dubois. George
  2. Nope. About the right time frame, though. George
  3. Like to tell you 'bout my baby You know she comes around Just 'bout five feet four From her head to the ground Well she comes around here Just about midnight She makes me feel so good Makes me feel alright George
  4. No. I looked up Flintstones and his name. The Flintstones spoofed a number of actors and actresses. "Ann-Margrock" comes to mind. I didn't remember this one. George
  5. This 1960's movie begins with an Overture (a still saying "Overture" is shown while the music plays) followed by the cast list, then a dedication to "Mr. Laurel and Mr. Hardy." Halfway through the movie is an Intermission, including a musical "Entr'acte" (with appropriate still). The two male stars had previously starred in a comedy, playing co-workers, of a sort. In this film, also a comedy, they play rivals. Each film also had a (different) female star. A Saturday morning cartoon was inspired by this movie. One of the male stars plays two roles. One character impersonates the other, briefly. Although dedicated to Laurel and Hardy, the pie fight near the end was classic Stooges. George
  6. The star of this show won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar before this show appeared (though not before she first played this character -- yes, it's a spin-off). The backstory of the spinoff is that the character's oft-mentioned but never seen husband dies, so she moved in with her mother-in-law to start a new life. (?) George
  7. This one I should know. I don't, but I should. George
  8. I can live with that. No idea who was in The Proposal, though. George
  9. Zoolander Owen Wilson Behind Enemy Lines George
  10. I actually did see it when it came out. Wasn't it the first PG-13 Disney film? George
  11. Like to tell ya about my baby You know she comes around She about five feet four A-from her head to the ground George
  12. Iron Man Gwyneth Paltrow Shallow Hal George
  13. I don't know. Pairing actors with roles or actors with movies seems different enough to me. They just seem the same when it gets to the point that "external" clues have to be given. Then they both become "Movie Mash-Up." George
  14. I think it's a Sinatra tune. I just can't think of the title. George
  15. Big Robert Loggia Independence Day George
  16. Yes. If I'm not mistaken, that's Jackie Kennedy Onassis's maiden name. Interestingly, Bisset played (an adaptation of) her in "The Greek Tycoon." WW's up. George
