A Movie Scene Quiz

Crawford & 3 Stooges - Dancing Lady
Bronson and Godfrey - 4 for Texas
Bruce Lee and Carroll O'Connor - Marlowe

Correct on all three! (no longer surprised)

I started this quiz with movie scenes, and we pretty much exhausted that category. So, we then had some fun with rewording songs from musicals -
and now, we're working on movie roles. I think this is the 42nd actor/actress in that category.

fictional President
fictional Senator
police officer (at least twice. I'll accept two)
Missionary

after three guesses, I'll give a clue.

Newbie... A girl and co. pick up her car from a garage. The mechanic doesn't want to give them the car because they don't have enough money to pay for the tire.

Hi rystall. You have to answer a question before you can ask one.

my bad.

Rystal. You've got me wondering what your scene is, but since it's a new one, I probably won't know it.

Adventures in Babysitting?

Yes!

Don't f*ck with the babysitter!

I'm still thinking about the question Raggedy asked earlier today. I have no idea who it is, so I'll make three guesses for a clue:

Gene Hackman (fictional president in Absolute Power, fictional senator in The Birdcage, police officer in The French Connection and The French Connection II -- but I don't think he ever played a missionary)

Walter Huston (fictional president in Gabriel Over the White House, police officer in The Beast of the City, and missionary in Rain -- but as far as I know he never played a senator)

Lionel Barrymore (missionary in Sadie Thompson and fictional senator in Duel in the Sun -- but I don't think he ever played a president, and I can't imagine him as a police officer!)

Yes to Gene Hackman.
He played the Rev. John Whipple in "Hawaii". He and the Max Von Sydow character were class-mates and friends who journeyed together as missionaries to Hawaii. The Hackman character, becoming disillusioned with the practices of the missionaries, later left the church and if I recall correctly became a doctor. "The Hawaiians" with Charlton Heston was a sequel and dealt more with the Chinese, Japanese, etc. influences on Hawaii. I think I'll read that book again. I LOVE Hawaii.

Your turn, Bree.

I had completely forgotten about Gene Hackman's role in Hawaii -- I don't think I've seen the movie since it came out, in 1966.

Thinking about a new question...

Our next actor has played:

Architect
Physicist
Private detective (at least three times)
Lawyer (at least twice)

Paul Newman (Towering Inferno, The Prize, Harper, The Verdict)

Yes to Paul Newman. I was actually thinking of Torn Curtain for the physicist role (I forgot about The Prize). He also played a private detective in The Drowning Pool and Twilight, and was a lawyer in The Young Philadelphians.

Your turn, wandeljw.

What actor played:

An aging film star
A gunslinger
Biblical character
Father of the same biblical character

Wandelj: The actor I'm thinking of fits the roles, but one of them is a TV movie, which we don't use here. But, you didn't know that. Am I correct? Is one of the movies a TV movie?

Sorry, one of the films was made for TV.

Is it Victor Mature?

Aging film star - After the Fox
Gunslinger - Fury at Furnace Creek
Biblical character - Samson and Delilah
Father of biblical character - TV Samson and Delilah (Manoah)

Victor Mature is correct.

By the way, there is a funny story connected with the made for tv "Samson". When Victor Mature was asked why he would play Samson's father in an inferior remake of his own classic, he replied: "For the money they offered me, I would have even played Samson's mother."
