A Movie Quiz - Something in Common

Welcome Fealola. We'd love to have you play. This game has undergone quite a few changes since it first started in November.
The object of this game is to guess the movie star who matches the occupations/roles listed. The tie-ins and years make the game easier to play. The tie-in is that the answer (movie star) to my question above has appeared in a film/s with Eve Arden at some time. (but not necessarily in one of the films mentioned in the Eve Arden question). If you guess correctly, it will be your turn to ask a question. Have I confused you? Believe me, once you start playing it will all fall into place. Come join the fun.

(There is no set rule for the number of occupations/roles you ask.)

Yes to Eve Arden, Raggedy.

Thanks for explaining the game! I was working on it and happened to refresh and see that you'd beat me to it. It's harder to explain that it is to play!

You can say that again, Mac. And I just noticed that I was referring to a question I haven't even asked yet. Maybe this will help:

Identify the movie star who played the following parts in a movie. This movie star has appeared in a movie with Eve Arden. The movies in which he played these parts were between the years of 1946 and 1954. So:

Tie-in Eve Arden (1946-1954)

Real-life writer
Professor
Milkman
Ventriloquist
Daydreaming accountant

Danny Kaye

Real-life writer - Hans Christian Andersen
Professor - A Song Is Born
Milkman - The Kid from Brooklyn
Ventriloquist - Knock on Wood
Daydreaming accountant - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Yes to Danny Kaye. Your turn.

Thanks alot Mac & Raggedy! I think i've got it! I'll catch you later, must wake up first!

Tie to Danny Kaye - 1952-1958

German nightclub hostess
Trapeze performer
Wife of real-life boxer
Acrobat

Pier Angeli

German nightclub hostess - The Devil Makes Three
Trapeze performer - The Story of Three Loves
Wife of real-life boxer - Somebody Up There Likes Me
Acrobat - Merry Andrew

Okay, that was amazingly quick!!! And correct as well...

I've always liked Pier Angeli. The only one I didn't see was Merry Andrew.

Tie to Pier Angeli (1949-1973)

Prizefighter
Seaman/whaler
Real-life artist
Member of Italian crime syndicate
One-legged outlaw

Kirk Douglas

Prizefighter - Champion
Seaman/whaler - 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
Real-life artist - Lust for Life
Member of Italian crime syndicate - The Brotherhood?
One-legged outlaw - Scalawag

That was my guess. Are we aloud to jump to the chaes and guess without listing all?

Yes to Kirk Douglas and The Brotherhood, too, Mac.

Fealola - I think it might spoil the challenge if we just guessed and didn't list the movies. But, let me think about this. (I have thought about it in the past)
Perhaps, one could guess, but if the guess is incorrect, that person would not be allowed to offer any more guesses.
What do you think, Mac?

That would work.

But when no one else is around, additional guesses ought to be allowed somehow... hmmm.... Your call, Miss Raggedy.

Tie to Kirk Douglas - 1964-2002

Mafia chieftain
Hispanic grandfather
Possessive Mexican businessman
Real-life violin maker
Greek peasant

hmmmm. What I meant was that a guess (without listing the movies) would be OK, but if that guess was incorrect, then the person would have to do a little research. OK, two guesses.

Guess: Anthony Quinn - Greek peasant, Zorba the Greek, Hispanic Grandfather - A Walk in the Clouds - Easy, too, because we have a tie-in.
But, that sort of takes the challenge out of it, doesn't it? Without listing the others. THINKING.

Yes to Anthony Quinn. Do you want to research the other films?

Not unless you insist.

Mafia chieftan - Avenging Angel
Possessive Mex. businessman - Revenge
Violin maker - Stradivari
