So...it's WW's turn.

Before the decision was made to dub most of her vocals, Rosalind Russell attempted to do her own singing. The highly unsatisfactory results can be heard as an extra feature on the soundtrack CD. After Ethel Merman's death, a tape of the Russell recordings was found in a box in Merman's closet. Merman, who was infuriated that she had not been cast in the film, evidently had retained this copy of the Russell vocals as a strange and somewhat vengeful consolation prize. Ann-Margret was the first choice for the title role. The star of this film gets career advice, including "If you wanna make it, twinkle while you shake it" and "If you wanna bump it, bump it with a trumpet." George

I'm having trouble juxtaposing colorful costumes and car chases. George

Can I, from that, infer that you listened to the two songs? The Beach Boys swear it wasn't intentional, but the similarities, not only in the tune but in the words, seem too great to be coincidental. George

"Sweet Little Sixteen" by Chuck Berry. Listen to it, then listen to "Surfin' USA." What's amazing is that it took Berry 20 years to win his lawsuit. FREE POST George

"And being wealthy is very good. It allows people to be the real a$$wipes nature intended them to be." "You know, the enemy's always been terrified of noise, especially shotguns. With this big boy spitting out 250 rounds a minute, you tell me who's tolerating that. Absolutely zero." "I got a feeling everyone else passed on this job, so our fee is $5 mil." "$5 mil?" "And I want half upfront, and the other half in an offshore account. You got a problem with that?" "No. What I have a problem with is people who try to f--- me over. So if you take this money and you don't deliver, or you try to f--- me in some kind of weird cockamamie scheme of yours, me and my people are gonna come get you and your people and chop you up into little f---ing dog treats. You got a problem with that?" "Let's talk." "We are the shadows and the smoke, we rise. We are the ghosts that hide in the night." George

Correct. Most people know the song as "Theme from 2001" George

Depending on your choice of language, "Also Sprach Zarathustra" "Ainsi Parlait Zarathoustra" "Thus Spake Zarathustra" George

"Coach" is correct. :) George

"West Side Story"? George

I remember watching "Stingray" and "Fireball XL-5." (Incidentally, did you know that Castrol got its name from the fact that castor oil was an early motor lubricant?) The star of this show played a similar role in an early Tom Cruise film. The opening theme is performed by the Iowa State Cyclone Marching Band, who won the right to do so by winning a national contest. George

Could H be "Space:1999"? George

THAT's the one I had in mind. :) George

I don't think it was in that movie. That's not the one I have in mind, anyway. George

In this movie, two orphan girls are cast out by their aunt and sent to a harsh charity school for girls. One becomes a child star, the other a well-received actress, later in life. The bitter former child star torments her sibling mercilessly. FYI the constituent movies are in reverse order. George

I got it from the last one, and then the rest just fell into place. George

"Shout" George
