Have ANY of these film bio's of Film stars been successful, other than 
Yankee Doodle Dandy?  What was that disaster with Rod Steiger as WC Fields?

Here's the whole song, as best as I can remember it:

DUMONT: When the clock on the wall strikes ten,
	All you loyal ladies and you patriotic men
	Will sing the national anthem when
	The clock on the wall strikes ten.

[Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong! Bong!]

FREEDONIANS: His Excellency is due
	To take his station
	Beginning his new
	Administration.
	He'll make his appearance when
	The clock on the wall strikes ten.

[Dancing flower girls scatter petals.]

	We'll give him a rousing cheer
	To show him we're glad he's here!
	Hail!  Hail, Freedonia!

[Trumpet fanfare]

	Hail!  Hail, Freedonia!
	Land of the brave and free!

and then it turns into the jokes regarding Groucho arriving late.

I've read that Dershowitz is representing _both_ sides to basically be
a mediator so that they don't have to go through the normal court process,
i.e. public spectacle.

But then I read reports that Dersh. is representing Farrow only.

Who is representing whom?

I don't know if enough films about wrestling were made in the 30's and
40's to count as a genre, but there were more than a few, most of them
cheaply made and following the sorts of plots outlined in "Barton Fink".
Wallace Beery did at least one of them, possibly more.  The fact that
they are mostly forgotten today serves as a reminder that an incredible
amount of schlock was produced during Hollywood's Golden Age.  (The
dregs of the American Movie Classics cable channel is another such reminder.)

Because the change to future time had not yet propagated its way up the
space-time continuum to where Doc and Marty were. Evidently, this takes
some small but finite time to occur. You'll notice, however, that as
Biff climbed out of the Delorean on his return to the future, his own
existence was beginning to fade away. As Doc and Marty headed back to
1985, the change to history had already propagated past that point. Since
it took them awhile to realize what had happened, the change to history
had by that time propagated past the point in the future that they had
just left, making it impossible to return there.

This "propagation of changed history" idea was also applied in Millinium.

The line in question comes from a Danny Kay film. I think it was a
remake of the Bing Crosby film "A Conneticut Yankee at King Arthur's
Court". {Both taken from the Mark Twain story.} There was a second
line to this, something like:-

"The potion that is free [from poison] is in the vessel with the pessel"


The scene is that of Danny and his opponent marching towards the King's
booth to receive a pre-joust drink. Of course, on the way, Danny gets the
two lines confused with all manner of havoc ensuing.
This was quite a good comedy IMHO.

Hope this helps

After recently viewing Wayne's World for the first time, I had a question 
about the actress who played Wayne's "mental" ex-girlfriend (I can't 
remember the name of the actress or the character).  She looked very 
familiar to me, and I was wondering if she is the same woman who plays Eve 
on Northern Exposure?

Also, my friend noticed the name Ione Skye scrolling past on the credits 
as having played a character named "Elyse", but neither of us remember a 
character in the movie called Elyse.  Could anyone please tell me who 
Elyse was in the movie?

Others have used this, including Red Skelton.  I recently
saw a movie that used pretty much the same thing.  Bob Hope was
to be in a duel and the guns were rigged in his favor, if he
could remember one of those impossible rhymes - something about
the bullets in the barrel of the pistol with the cross on the muzzle
or something liek that.
