Name that Flick

[oldiesman]

I don't ask you to understand me. Between us all the time were those jewels, like a fire - a fire in my brain that separated us - those jewels which I wanted all my life. I don't know why...Goodbye, Paula.

Gaslight!

[QuietThinker]

Mmmmmm...you are so right. A wonderful Noir with Joseph Cotten as the intense police inspector, the uber-suave Charles Boyer as Paula's tormenting husband, Ingrid Bergman as the victim who eventually finds her strength...and the film debut (I do believe), of a 17 year-old Angela Lansbury as the schemeing, sexy maid who helps with the deception.

Nice to meet you, Oldies, and...of course...your turn!

Where have you been Oldiesman?

Can't wait to see what you come op with :)

[oldiesman]

Here we are, the perfect recipe ... two of Chevy, one of Ford ...

[oldiesman]

Burt: Goodday Frank, how are you?

Frank: Well not bad, could be better, could be worse. I see your front tire has gotten a bit flat on you there Bert.

Bert: Well the good news is, it's only flat on the bottom.

[WordWolf]

I'll take a wild swing here,

and guess that's the Bert from "It's a Wonderful Life."

[oldiesman]

No, but nice try.

[Ca_dreaming]

Got me hanging :unsure:

[oldiesman]

Bert: if the butterflies in my stomach were cows I'd be able to start a dairy farm.

[Ca_dreaming]

The rope is getting tighter. HELP!

[Tom Strange]

this is a real movie? ...what decade? ...were humans the main characters?

[Ca_dreaming]

I am reaching the end of my rope!!! :wacko:

[oldiesman]

this is a real movie? ...what decade? ...were humans the main characters?

I will continue to give quotes but I don't wanna give away the time period just yet. :)

Yes of course humans are the main characters.

[oldiesman]

Bert: if you don't go when you wanna go when you do go you'll find you've gone

[Tom Strange]

ding ding ding... two days OM... you've stumped us...

[oldiesman]

Burt: I figure a man’s like a blade of grass, he grows up in the spring, strong healthy and green, then he reaches middle age, and he ripens as it were, and then in the autumn he, like a blade of grass he finishes, fades away and he never comes back, just like a blade of grass

[topoftheworld]

Is it Burt or Bert?

Or is Burt talking to Bert?

Was Henry Fonda in this movie?

[oldiesman]

Burt: I’ll tell you something son, if you don’t follow thru with your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable.

it is Burt with a "U"

No Henry Fonda.

[Tom Strange]

was Robert Blake in this movie? ...a young Robert Blake?

[oldiesman]

Burt: you know, I read something once years ago, and I learned it by heart, Theodore Roosevelt said it, he said: it’s not the critic that counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena ...

No Robert Blake.

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I finally googled this one. It does star a famous actor and was released during my lifetime, though I don't recall it appearing in theaters. (Oldies, I don't think that gives much away -- I've been around 50 years.)

George

[Raf]

I cheated too. It was definitely in theaters.

[Tom Strange]

so it was sometime between 1956 and 2006?

[Tom Strange]

well... then either you guys answer it or OM name another one...

OM... we give up! ...we can't win without cheating... you can do another one...

[Ca_dreaming]

Thank you. You really stumped me!

I couldn't even figure out HOW to cheat!
