  1. Interesting choice, but no. Ladies of the Chorus The Asphalt Jungle All About Eve Love Nest Let's Make It Legal O. Henry's Full House Monkey Business The Seven Year Itch Let's Make Love George
  2. Characters in this movie include Leo Durocher, Eddie Stanky, Joe Garagiola, Branch Rickey, Pee Wee Reese, and Red Barber. Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson were considered for the Rickey role. The film does not explore the main character's career with the Montreal Royals, but he was hugely popular. After leading the team to the league championship, it was noted: ..."probably the only day in history that a black man ran from a white mob that had love, not lynching, on its mind." George
  3. This two-season series featured Danielle Panabaker and Jeri Ryan in major roles, though neither was the star. The actual star, James Woods, kept the show from being cancelled before it even filmed. Known for movie roles but not a TV personality, he was appealing to the producers who wanted someone like him in the role. The actor said it was the first TV role he thought had the depth to interest him. The title character has three rules, to which he refers as his "Cutthroat Manifesto": * "Trial is war. Second place is death." * "Truth is relative. Pick one that works." * "In a jury trial, there are only twelve opinions that matter, and yours (speaking to his team) is not one of them." The one-word title of the show was sort of a play on the main character's last name and his aggressiveness in the courtroom. George
  4. Actually, the mistletoe was not a Poison Ivy clue, but a Christmas clue. Batman Returns? George
  5. Batman and Robin? (Sounds like a Poison Ivy line). George
  6. No. Davis wasn't in all of these. Ladies of the Chorus The Asphalt Jungle All About Eve Love Nest Let's Make It Legal O. Henry's Full House George
  7. Help Me Rhonda (Not the first line) "Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear." George
  8. Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Steve Martin Pennies from Heaven George
  9. Ok, now Bible scholars in this group. Esther 8:9 Hopefully, someone will get THIS one: Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, and Aerosmith both had hit songs with the same title (though the latter was clearly not a cover of the former). Name those songs. George
  10. Saturn 3 Farrah Fawcett Logan's Run George
  11. She did, but she didn't play the other roles. Bonnie Katt Abigail Adams Sheriff Hildy Grainger Marcy Singer Christmas Snow Leigh Lindsay George
  12. Running Man is correct. Arnold shouts his tag line to game show host Richard Dawson, who doesn't believe Arnold will survive the attackers. Erland van Lidth (de Jeude) was an acquaintance of mine at MIT. (He was actually more of a friend to one of my fraternity brothers, who knew him from the wrestling team. He was also an excellent singer.) He appeared in a few movies before his far too early death. George
  13. That's actually the clue that gave it away. Of course, then, everything else fell into place. New one soon. George
  14. "Killian! I'll be back!" "Only in a rerun. GO!" George

  16. I see "spice," I think Dune. (?) George
  17. Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin' Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name. George
  18. Who Framed Roger Rabbit? "I am not an animal! I'm a human being!" George
