A Movie Scene Quiz

Anthony Perkins is correct. What was your question?

Hi gus! What do you mean, what the hell are we talking about? It's perfectly clear to me.

Perfectly clear to me, too, Gus. (lol)

My question is:

Since she felt that her present state of depression might last

1. for an eternity

It didn't take much

2 coercion (amicable, of course)

on his part, to convince her that a trip to

3. a resort in July and August

and a pleasant stay at

4. the bungalow (the one some people thought was bewitched)

might just be the solution to all her problems.

Since Dorothy McGuire (who was in the movie version of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn) felt that her present state of depression might last

1. Till the End of Time

It didn't take much

2 Friendly Persuasion

on his part, to convince her that a trip to

3. A Summer Place

and a pleasant stay at

4. The Enchanted Cottage

might just be the solution to all her problems.

Yes to Dorothy McGuire. I thought "leaving a concrete jungle where only one elm sprouted" might be too obvious.

Do you have one? It's getting a lot tougher now, isn't it? (I think we've told approximately 24 stories. )

You're right -- it is getting tougher!

When he and I were children, our families didn't go away on vacation. Instead, we stayed in

1. The village we called home,

and on fine days we would have an

2. Al fresco meal

in the

3. Midday sun.

Ah, yes -

4. What pleasant times those were!

I'm not sure about you, Bree, but

When Bill Holden and I were children, our families didn't go away on vacation. Instead, we stayed in

1. Our Town

and on fine days we would have a

2. Picnic

in the

3. Blaze of Noon

Ah, yes -

4. Those Were the Days!

Good one!

Thanks, mac. Raggedy is correct, as usual.

Great stuff guys--I love catching up in the morning!

Pouring here for last two days, making things a little depressing, but then I go online and Eccola! Crazy folks! Just like me!

Needless to say, Rex was correct; and I await Raggedy's newest info!

Oh, and Raggedy, I was at an event at the library this past weekend and (of course) stopped by the shop. One of the best things they have is old playbills from shows from the 50's, but I also discovered some sheet music (look out, bree) and best of all, they take illustrations that were tipped in or full page from books that are in bad shape, and they mat and sell them. They had the most lovely series of the Raggedy duo I've seen. Great watercolors! I may try to post one or two if I can figure out this picture thing!

Now, on with the show!

Oh, that's exciting Loislane. I assume that by Raggedy duo, you mean Cathy and Heathcliff - and not Ann and Andy. I'm curious about the illustrations. Do they make illustrations of photos or reprints of stills from a book?

Oh, next question:

I was always envious of my childhood friend who led such an exciting life. She was one of those

1. Women who created gossip

at every event. I admit I was quite jealous when she became a

2. A striptease artist

and the all the guys called her:

3. Flaming torch

but alas, ever meek, always a wimp, I never had the courage to

4. Venture where the timid never dare

as she did.

Raggedy, I think you're being much too modest when you say

I was always envious of my childhood friend, Barbara Stanwyck, who led such an exciting life. She was one of those

1. Ladies They Talk About

at every event. I admit I was quite jealous when she became a

2. Lady of Burlesque

and the all the guys called her:

3. Ball of Fire

but alas, ever meek, always a wimp, I never had the courage to

4. Walk on the Wild Side

as she did.

Aaah darn. You got that one too quickly. I had a "Lady Eve" clue waiting in the wings.

Your turn.

It was the "striptease artist" that gave it to me so quickly. There aren't a lot of movies with titles that can be paraphrased that way!

If I can come up with a new question before I have to leave for the dentist in about 45 minutes, I'll post it. If you don't hear from me by then, assume the next turn is open.

Oh, and P.S. - what was your "Lady Eve" clue?

Just a routine dental visit, I hope.

Oh, I was going to say something like:

Adam's mate was a goody-two-shoes

compared to this flaming torch.

Yes, a routine visit, thanks.

I'm sure you'll get this one in the short time before I have to leave. However, if I'm gone when you get it, assume your answer is right (as I'm sure it will be) and go ahead and post a new question.

I had a childhood friend who sounds a lot like yours. Her philosophy about men was:

1. Two will make you jollier than one, and three will make your spirits even higher.

Alas, she carried this philosophy so far that she ended up with

2. A surfeit of spouses.

The scandal that ensued became

3. A topic of gossip for everyone in the village.

In fact, news of it traveled around the world, and was written up in newspapers in London, Paris, Rome, etc. You could even say it became

4. An international incident.

Oh, you knew her too, Bree. She once had a Peter Pan hat exactly like mine. She wore it in Mr. Deeds Goes to Town.

I had a childhood friend, Jean Arthur, who sounds a lot like yours. Her philosophy about men was:

1. The More the Merrier

Alas, she carried this philosophy so far that she ended up with

2. Too Many Husbands

The scandal that ensued became

3. The Talk of the Town.

In fact, news of it traveled around the world, and was written up in newspapers in London, Paris, Rome, etc. You could even say it became

4. A Foreign Affair

You betcha! Take it away.

Uh Oh. I don't have a new question yet and may have to leave here for a few hours. Question is open in the meantime.
