A Movie Scene Quiz

Not only is she a human actress, but you've mentioned her this week on this thread.

And yes, these are films with plots, not travelogues.

These six films were released between 1942 and 1959.

Aaaaah! Just got here and look what I see: How Green Was My Valley!

Go for it, Bree!

Ah, that was my problem -- I was looking for the names of cities I might actually consider traveling to (London, Paris, Rome, etc.)!

Maureen O'Hara

To the Shores of Tripoli
Bagdad
Tripoli
Malaga
Lisbon
Our Man in Havana

And to think, I had actually gotten so desperate I even considered "Rio Bravo" as a possibility because of the "Rio" part of the title, but I never even thought of Rio Grande, which might have led me to Maureen O'Hara!

What?! No desire to run off to Bagdad or Tripoli right now?

Yipes!

Well, it's hot enough here now to feel like there (well, not really, but it's March for goodness sake!). It's up to 74 and is suppose to continue like this until it drops dramatically to 72 this Sunday!

(Be nice, lois, they've still got snow. I try not to mention my lovely spring weather too much...)

Yes to Maureen O'Hara of course. I didn't think to specify the desirability of the locations. Though I've been to Lisbon and to Malaga, and they're both quite lovely.

Reminder to self: add Lisbon and Malaga to seemingly endless list of places I really must get around to seeing one of these days.

I don't mind (much) if you guys mention the nice spring weather you're having -- it makes me feel like there's hope that someday it might happen for us too. (But how long, oh lord, how long must we wait?)

Raggedy really should ask the next question, since she spoon-fed me the answer to the last one, but for a change I have a question ready, so here goes.

This actress appeared in six movies whose titles include a woman's full name (first name and last name). For five of the movies, the woman's name is the entire title.

And of course I meant Maureen O'Hara, not O'Sullivan. I'll fix that right now.

But Bree, look at all the fun they're missing. Snowball fights, snow angels, snowmen and................ ........


Joan Crawford

Letty Lynton
Sadie McKee
Mildred Pierce
Daisy Kenyon
Harriet Craig
The Story of Esther Costello

I should have known I couldn't slip that one past you! Joan Crawford is right, and you got all the movies.

You forgot to mention slipping and falling in the snow (which I haven't done yet, but it's always a possibility), getting hit in the face with ice pellets falling from the sky .......... (there's no emoticon that could do justice to how I feel about this winter).

Bree: Did you miss this part?

I saw your emoticons -- they're just way too mild to express my feelings of rage and disgust!

Now to think about your excellent question...

It's no big deal, but - one movie title each will give you an idea as to what these actors like to do on their night out together:

Robert Mitchum: 5 Card Stud
Frank Sinatra: The Joker Is Wild
Clark Gable: The King and Four Queens
Henry Fonda (tie-in to Daisy Kenyon): A Big Hand for the Little Lady, or The Cheyenne Social Club

You got it, Bree. I was thinking of Big Hand for the Little Lady, but Cheyenne Social Club is even better.

I'm out of ideas at the moment (all that rage and disgust at the weather must be burning up too many brain cells). I'll post a new question when I come up with one.

INTERIM QUESTION:

Who was the first person with a black belt in martial arts to become a Hollywood superstar?

(This is a trick question. The answer involves an actor from the Golden Age of Hollywood and he was definitely a superstar.)

So we're not talking about someone like Chuck Norris or Steven Seagal, right?

bree,

this person made most of his movies before 1950 and he was one of the incorrect answers in raggedy's recent "time" question.

I think I just found him, and your hints are consistent with what I'm guessing:

Jimmy Cagney?

Correct, bree! James Cagney had a black belt in karate.
