  1. Expectations of Allied POWS in this WWII movie were that Japan should have honored the Geneva Convention. Actually, Japan wasn't a signatory to the treaty until 1953. (Interestingly, misdeeds by the Japanese prompted revision of the treaty in 1949.) The commandant of the prison was portrayed as being ruthless. According to many of his prisoners after the war, the actual Japanese officer on whom the role was based was one of the more humane and reasonable ones. To keep costs down, producer Sam Spiegel decided not to hire any extras, using crew members and Ceylon locals instead. This meant that some of the British prisoners were really natives of the region wearing make-up to appear Caucasian. George
  2. This has been unattended for a month and a half. I suggest that Raf either give some more clues or just turn over the cards and offer a free post. George
  3. James Mason Georgy Girl Lynn Redgrave George
  4. Yes. I assume Matt Helm gave it away. George
  5. Hopefully, this will stoke someone's memory: Larry Todd Joe Anthony Rick Todd Bama Dillert Jeffrey Moss Sam Harmon Nick Arden Jason Steele Tom Elder Dee Bishop Matt Helm Vernon Demerest George
  6. Nothing from Nothing "Well, since she put me down, I've been out doing' in my head." George
  7. This was the most expensive television show to produce at the time, costing over a million dollars to make each episode, which was one of the reasons it was canceled after only 13 episodes. The actor playing the titular character based his performance on William Shatner as Captain Kirk in Star Trek (1966) of which he is a big fan. A video game based on this series produced by Bug-Byte Software was released for the Commodore 64 platform in 1985. The titular character was a hologram, but no CGI was used on the show, just traditional animation and editing techniques. The star of the show was far less famous than his father. George
  8. I don't get the post, either, unless Allen somehow references the show in his routine. (I didn't watch most of the video.) At any rate, it's not the answer. George

  11. The Night They Raided Minsky's Berl Lahr The Wizard of Oz George
  12. I kept getting stuck on "My Boyfriend's Back," but I knew that wasn't it. George
  13. I remember watching it with my Dad. It WAS a bit bawdy for the day but probably tamer than Sesame Street, now. George
  14. I can even hear the girlfriends say, "Yes, we get it." It's an oldie, but I'm not quite clicking on it. George
  15. Kodachrome (Not the first line) My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinkin' all night Got into a fight Well, I feel so broke up I wanna go home George
  16. This map will continually update. George
  17. I've only seen a few minutes of Pulp Fiction. George
  18. The rhythm reminds me of "Like a Rolling Stone." Is that it? George
  19. That's how I feel about a lot of songs on this thread. George
  20. I'll give it Waysider. Most people think of it as "Don't Worry 'Bout Me," but the actual title is "Opus 17." I'd be surprised if WW and Human haven't heard it. Valli (91) is still performing and can still hit the high notes. I saw him live last week. His current "Four Seasons" and the backup band were all much younger, of course. It was a great show. I had forgotten how many great songs they did. George
