Subject: Film/TV Trivia Quiz: All Actors Big- and Small Screen, Part 6

With the holiday season come and gone, and a new year well underway, it's time
for another installment in this continuing series of quizzes.

For the benefit of anyone who's new to this, the object is to match a movie
with a group of television shows, or a TV show with a group of movies, on the
basis of performers that the several elements on one side share with the one
on the other.  For example:

 Films                                            TV

 Murphy's Romance                                 Gidget (Sally Field) /
                                                  The Rockford Files
                                                  (James Garner)

 The Americanization of Emily (James Garner) /    Maverick
 The Spy Who Loved Me (Roger Moore)

Each line in List 1 matches one line in List 2.  You may list the names of the
linking actors if you wish, but it's not required; you won't get extra credit
for doing it, but neither will be points be taken off for listing them
incorrectly.

Now that you've been reassured how easy this is :-), why not try it for real?

LIST 1:  Television Series

 1. He and She / Ellery Queen
 2. Knots Landing / It's a Living
 3. The Powers That Be
 4. Magnum, P.I.
 5. He and She / Quincy
 6. Arrest and Trial / Green Acres / American Bandstand
 7. Leg Work
 8. Thirtysomething
 9. Dynasty / L.A. Law / Homefront
10. Covington Cross / Marcus Welby, M.D. / Arresting Behavior

LIST 2:  Feature Films

 A. Lair of the White Worm
 B. Leadbelly / The Third Man / Her Alibi
 C. Gas Food Lodging
 D. Girl Friends / K-9 / Field of Dreams
 E. The Young Doctors
 F. Where The Boys Are (remake)
 G. Goodbye Columbus
 H. Something Wild / Missisippi Burning
 I. The Trouble With Harry / Amadeus
 J. Where The Boys Are (original)

Email your answers to me by Thursday, January 21.  The answers, and the names
of the top scorers, will be posted to the net shortly thereafter.

Newspapers DO screw things up.  Other times, whoever is responsible for
preparing the sheet that goes to the newspaper screws up (we have one
person who submits all the times for the entire division).  And times
are submitted for an entire week at a time.

To be sure, you should call the recording (and the newspaper SHOULD say
"Call theater to confirm/check showtimes" or something to that effect).
If the recording doesn't match what they tell you when you get to the
theater, then you have a legitimate complaint.  It's hard for the
theater to take total responsibility for what the paper prints though.

	"JFK"  (3 hrs. 6 min.) made around 80 million dollars 
domestically, not exactly blockbuster status but pretty damn good.
"Dances with Wolves" made around 160 mil., which is damn good 
considering it only cost about 18 mil.  "Reds", if I remember
correctly, was one of the top five films of that year.
Actually, this whole argument started when we were talking
about "X", which is been considered a mild disappointment since
it cost around 40 million and will only bring about fifty.

The story I heard was that this title was latched on to by another
production company (other then Brocolli, et al) and they tried
to make it a spoof of the other JB films that had been made up to
that time, since it was the only one that they would be making.

BTW - During their recent James Bond week, TNT showed the original 1 
hour long TV version of Casino Royale that was shown as a live show in 
the 50s (1956 I believe).  It starred Barry Nelson as James (and 
included Peter Lorre as the villan). So, technically, I guess you could 
say Casino Royale was made as a "serious" production.

I'm not sure that's correct.  Did he not appear in "Sugar" on Broadway?
That was the musical version of "Some Like It Hot".

Not to pick nits or anything, but neither the real life Marin

could be called a "hack".

He bites the big one when it comes to miming the playing

Depardieu pere is fabulous in the opening and closing scenes.
Depardieu fils, though no great shakes as an actor, is quite
nice to watch.

I thought the film was overly schematic, and I reject the
idea that true art can only come out of true suffering, but 
I did enjoy the film quite a lot.

Last night I saw the wonderful film version of Frank Loesser's _How to
Succeed in Business without Really Trying_.  It's well-paced and funny,
and Robert Morse is absolutely delightful.  I have a few questions about
it:

1. It seemed to be a little scant on music.  How many songs were cut from
   the original show?

2. I know from what has been written about _Tru_ that Robert Morse did not
   appear on Broadway between _How to Succeed_ and _Tru_.  What *was* he
   doing?  Something theatrical, I hope--he has a great talent.

3. Michele Lee, the female lead, looked awfully familiar.  I have this
   funny feeling she was on some 60's TV show.  Was she?  What else has she
   done?

What an actor, what a stunningly sexy man...In addition to the movies mentioned
in this thread, he's done some TV work in Britain, e.g. the Masterpiece Theatre
production of _The Barchester Chronicles_ (he played Rev. Slope, I think), the
Shakespeare Plays (Jonathan Miller's set) production of _Romeo and Juliet_,
_Smiley's People_, and a few other things that I assume were for the BBC and 
never showed up here: _Bonnie Prince Charlie_, _Busted_, _Pity in History_,
_Girls on Top_ (intriguing title...), _Seven Deadly Sins_, _Benefactors_.  
And incidentally, _Truly, Madly, Deeply_ was originally a TV movie; it's going
to be on one of the cable channels this month, I forget which.  Delightful 
film, much less nauseating than most romantic comedies.  

He's also a very highly respected stage actor, and in fact was nominated
for a Tony when the RSC production of _Les Liaisons Dangereuses_ ran on 
Broadway in the mid-80s (he was Valmont).  What were those people THINKING when
they cast John Malkovich in the movie??  

One of my treasured possessions is a pen that he wrote with, acquired by a 
friend fortunate enough to have seen him in London and gotten his autograph.

Probably true... I didn't rate it very highly, but you'll have to admit
its weirdness.  There were a couple of good one liners like "We're out of
the Cook Special."  "Well, start on the customers!"  Acceptable viewing if
you're in a very weird mood in a video rental place, can't find anything
that strikes your fancy, and it doesn't cost much.
