----
Answer: After an introduction by Mother Goose and her pet goose Sylvester, the audience is invited to Mother Goose Village, wherein numerous characters from nursery rhymes make their homes.The village is currently celebrating the impending marriage between Mary Quite Contrary (Annette Funicello), and Tom Piper (Tommy Sands). However, high above the village, in a crooked house, lives the evil landlord of the village, named Barnaby. Barnaby is privy to the fact that upon being wed, Mary will inherit money, and as such, he intents to marry her to get to it. To do so, he recruits two men named Gonzorgo and Rodrigo, to kidnap Tom and throw him in the sea. As well, the sheep tended by Little Bo Peep (who lives with Mary, along with Little Boy Blue, Wee Willie Winkie, and two twin girls) must be stolen too, as they provide a source of income for the small family.After Tom leaves Mary for the evening, the two men knock him out, and tie him in a sack. However, on their way to the sea, they come to a fork in the road, that tellsof a gypsy camp nearby. Gonzorgo gets the idea to sell Tom to the gypsies, and then lie to Barnaby that they've completed their deed, thereby collecting twice!The next day, Barnaby intrudes on Mary's wedding preparations, but the moment is spoiled when two shipwrecked sailors (Gonzorgo and Rodrigo in disguise) come to Mary's place. They explain that Tom ran away to sea, ashamed that he could not provide for her and the children she takes care of. Gonzorgo claims that a note that they found from Tom, indicates that he says she should marry Barnaby instead.Needless to say, Mary is saddened at this news, and Barnaby attempts to woo her to marry him However, she refuses, claiming she could never marry just for money alone. Taking a positive attitude, she claims that she's sure the sheep that Little Bo Peep tends will help them live well, when Bo Peep returns, claiming she's lost the sheep! The townspeople claim they'll help, but when word comes that the sheep's tracks lead to The Forest of No Return, all...

Build a movie plot around this: What is David hesitant about? V

Answer: The film opens with an out-of-focus image of what appears to be a swarm of bugs crawling about. But as the image sharpens, schoolchildren are at play in, of all places, a cemetery. The setting is the isolated village of Wakely on the coast of England.American mathematician David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) is walking along a road while his newly acquired wife and one-time resident, Amy Sumner (Susan George), is parading braless and carrying a rather nasty-looking device called a 'mantrap'. David is introduced by Amy to Charlie Venner (Del Henney), an intense young man who is also an ex-lover of David's wife. David also meets two of Charlie's cousins named Janice Hedden (Sally Thomsett), and Bobby (Len Jones), her young brother.As Janice and Bobby are putting the mantrap in the back of the car, David explains that he came to Wakely, on sabbatical, to write a treatise on celestial navigation. To ensure the peace and quiet needed to complete his book, David agrees to hire Charlie and a mate to help several workmen make repairs on his new home.David enters the local pub, where he meets gruff bartender Harry Ware (Robert Keegan) and apologetically asks for any brand of American cigarettes they might have. As David makes way in the pub, Charlie discusses with Amy the possibility that she led him on in the old days with her taunting advances and was "begging for it". Amy, humiliated, retorts by spurning him. This is witnessed by David in the pub.In the pub, David sees Janice's father and town patriarch Tom Hedden (Peter Vaughan), falling into an argument with Harry over a pint. Charlie tries to calm down his uncle. A fight ensues. A repentant Tom makes amends by paying for the American's cigarettes. But David turns down Tom's offer and exits the pub.David and Amy are driving to their new cottage. They meet Norman Scutt (Ken Hutchison), who's busy fixing up their garage. While there, they also meet Chris Cawsey (Jim Norton), a giggling bloke who specializes in ridding the garage of rats. Chris and Norman are aware of the...

Build a movie plot around this: how does barney know grover? childhood nemesis

Answer:
Edward L. Cahn's "Laughter in Hell" (1933), a pre-code flick by a director I've loved since his Z-Grade but very affecting "Runaway Daughters" (1956), made specifically for Florida drive-ins and starring grrrls on the verge and their having-crossed-over parents (alcoholic, "inappropriate," cruel, deluded, unfeeling). Then there's Italian second cuz Fabbio, who envisions them 'daughters' as a stable of working girls.Laughter in Hell stars serial priest portrayer Pat O'Brien at an early, almost good-looking stage wearing suiting cut to the quick like it's 21st Century Japanese couture. Depths of the Depression, but everyone wore suits, especially the poor, with scads of material saved under a "trim" silhouette. Pat's tie looked like Lou Costello's in his 1950s TV show with Abbott.Remember waiting waiting waiting for the thing to get going at its MOMA screening and boy did it get going. I've rarely seen a murder scene more affecting as that of Pat's slutty wife and his childhood nemesis, who are making a sorry cuckold out of Pat. Still, the fast-cut edit (think "Psycho" shower scene) showed barely a punch, and none of the wife's demise. And yet it was all too horrible. The theme was within-and-without the pre-Code pix of the time, which often showed too much and which spurred the Breen commandments. But what Laughter in Hell didn't show, the unseen but feared, made more of a wallop than anything more clinical.
