  1. Alexi Karamazov Peter Gifford Capt. Harrison Byers Adam Cramer Bob Wilson Paul DeVinger George
  2. As well as being the first Best Picture, "Wings" was also the only SILENT film to win that award. (Kind of the opposite of WW's response.) Human's up. George
  3. I can "hear" it, but I can't think of the title. George
  4. EXCELLENT show!!! Not preachy, but powerful. Obviously, a lot of backstory for the disciples not found in the Bible, but true to what we do know of them. George
  5. Pirates of the Caribbean (the first)? George
  6. What was the first movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture (called Outstanding Picture, then)? What else is unique about that film? George PS Just not to leave the rest of WW's question hanging, it was the Raiders and the Jets.
  7. Yes to Marilyn Monroe. No to "Love Happy." She was, in fact, in "Monkey Business." (Even on the movie poster.) George
  8. The Man with the Golden Gun Maud Adams Tattoo George
  9. I don't remember the teams, but I'm pretty sure it was "Heidi" that interrupted the game. Unfortunately, the networks' solution now is to air a game in its entirety and then show the other shows afterwards. So If you try to tape a show, you might only get the first half, because you tape the last 20-30 minutes of football (or, now, even basketball). I wind up having to tape well into the news and late-night shows in order to see the earlier shows in their entirety. George
  10. Interesting choice, but no. Ladies of the Chorus The Asphalt Jungle All About Eve Love Nest Let's Make It Legal O. Henry's Full House Monkey Business The Seven Year Itch Let's Make Love George
  11. Characters in this movie include Leo Durocher, Eddie Stanky, Joe Garagiola, Branch Rickey, Pee Wee Reese, and Red Barber. Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson were considered for the Rickey role. The film does not explore the main character's career with the Montreal Royals, but he was hugely popular. After leading the team to the league championship, it was noted: ..."probably the only day in history that a black man ran from a white mob that had love, not lynching, on its mind." George
  12. This two-season series featured Danielle Panabaker and Jeri Ryan in major roles, though neither was the star. The actual star, James Woods, kept the show from being cancelled before it even filmed. Known for movie roles but not a TV personality, he was appealing to the producers who wanted someone like him in the role. The actor said it was the first TV role he thought had the depth to interest him. The title character has three rules, to which he refers as his "Cutthroat Manifesto": * "Trial is war. Second place is death." * "Truth is relative. Pick one that works." * "In a jury trial, there are only twelve opinions that matter, and yours (speaking to his team) is not one of them." The one-word title of the show was sort of a play on the main character's last name and his aggressiveness in the courtroom. George
  13. Actually, the mistletoe was not a Poison Ivy clue, but a Christmas clue. Batman Returns? George
  14. Batman and Robin? (Sounds like a Poison Ivy line). George
  15. No. Davis wasn't in all of these. Ladies of the Chorus The Asphalt Jungle All About Eve Love Nest Let's Make It Legal O. Henry's Full House George
  16. Help Me Rhonda (Not the first line) "Father McKenzie, writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear." George
