A Movie Quiz - Something in Common

(Some) Enchanted April - The Evening Star

whew!

YES. Well done.

Okay, have fun! Same idea, different musical...

Matt Dillon/Meg Ryan
Ruth Warrick/James Gandolfini
Timothy Hutton/Katharine Hepburn

Do you mean each song is from a different musical? Sounds like you are cracking down on me.

No, sorry to be imprecise!

The three songs are all from the same R&H musical - just not South Pacific...

Oh, that helps, but don't hold your breath waiting for an answer.

Wow, I wish I'd been able to get here earlier this afternoon (work called) -- that question looks like fun! I'll work on the new one at home tonight (if Raggedy doesn't get it first)!

I was looking for People Will Say We're in Love. (Hutton, Ordinary People, but I couldn't find anything for Hepburn to match. I think it's O K L A H O M A where the wind comes sweeping oer the plain and the waving wheat sure smells sweet.

Dillon - Kansas
Ryan - City of Angels
(Everything's Up to Date in Kansas City)

Hutton - Scenes from Every Day Life
Hepburn - Stage Door
(Life Upon the Wicked Stage)

Warrick - One Too Many
Gandolfini - A Whole New Day
Many A New Day

Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry when I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top.

Changed my mind, Mac. I know you wouldn't leave such an important word as wicked out.

Timothy Hutton - Beautiful Girls
Katharine Hepburn - Morning Glory
(Oh, What a Beautiful Morning)

Is that better?

Those have to be right, Raggedy. Dang, a person has to get up pretty early in the morning to figure out an answer ahead of you!

You got 'em all, Raggedy!

And by the way, Life Upon the Wicked Stage is from Showboat. Please don't hate me 'cuz I know this stuff - it was repeated over and over in various rehearsal halls when I was very young and impressionable!

Oklahoma was the first show I ever stage-managed. I was 18 (barely) and it was the local little theatre. Actually I was the 2nd Assistant Stage Manager, but they all started dropping like flies and I was put in charge briefly.

I worked on Showboat my freshman year in college. I was one of the assistant directors - I mostly hung out at the dance rehearsals and ran the tape deck, as I recall. For performances, I was the prop crew. 100 people or so in the cast - one freshman for the entire prop crew.

There are about a dozen other musicals that I worked on before the age of 25 that I know inside out...

Life Upon the Wicked Stage is from Show Boat. I knew that. Marge & Gower Champion performed it in the 1951 movie. Now, I know what they mean by those senior moments. But, I have, for some unexplainable reason, always confused that role with Ado Annie in Oklahoma.

Mac: I admire you for your knowledge of all those musicals and envy your participation in the productions.

One more easy R/H musical and then perhaps you'll have a new scavenger hunt to taunt us. (I'm working on one).

Go bree!

Work looks very busy this morning - hopefully I can be here more this afternoon...

Hi Bree. You got it. Your turn.

Sorry I was away for so long -- work blew up on me again, and now I have to go into a meeting in a couple of minutes. I pass my turn to the next person who wants to ask a question.

I'm sorry it's such a busy work day, Bree. We've all been in and out today. I'll ask Mac.
Mac: Would you like to take the next question?

I have nothing prepared! If you do, go ahead and sock it to us...as they used to say on Laugh-In.

Three songs from R/H movie musical. Title (Easy )

1. Bette Davis, Richard Pryor, Robert Loggia

2. Henry Fonda/Ethan Hawke

3. William Lundigan (not exactly, but close enough)

Is William Lundigan - I'll Climb the Highest (Every) Mountain?

(Just checking to see if I'm on the right musical!)
