Two actors. You name the classic film.

[Auggie]

Hint: The actor on the bottom played many minor characters in his career, including this film. But he always stole the scene.

[Graybeard]

1. Comedy classic.

Top- Rosiland Russell

Bottom - Billy Gilbert

The movie: His Girl Friday (1940)

Billy Gilbert, a very funny comedian on his own, was a great foil for Laurel and Hardy in some of their best. Gilbert is probably best known for his role as Herring in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (also made in 1940). In His Girl friday his Joe Pettibone is a comic gem.

[Auggie]

2. Another:

Hint: This film was the debut for one of these actors.

[Graybeard]

3. I love this pairing. LOL

Top - Basil Rathbone

Bottom - Trigger

The Movie: The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

The beautiful Palomino that Olivia DeHavilland rides
is Trigger (just before he met Roy Rogers and got his
famous name.)

BTW - I met Basil Rathbone once and he could not have
been more graceful and elegant. Lovely man.

[Auggie]

4. The awesome Graybeard nails it

I would have loved to have met Rathbone. An underappreciated and great actor, IMO. He played a wonderful villian but could show a very vulnerable side when need be, i.e., The Son of Frankenstein.

[Auggie]

5. Two actors:

Hint: Many sequels were made of this 1930s film

[Graybeard]

6. Finally.

Top - the lovely Maureen O'Sullivan

Bottom - Cesar Romero (decked out as The Joker)

The movie: The Thin Man

I had trouble for a while seeing the top photo (little
red x) This was very early in Cesar Romero's long, long,
long career.

[Auggie]

7. Bullseye

[Auggie]

8. Another one:

Hint: Two character actors from a very famous 1930s film.

[Graybeard]

9. Here it is.

Top - Edward Arnold

Bottom - Eugene Pallette

The movie: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington

Interesting that you would choose these two. Both were famous in Hollywood as staunch conservatives. Arnold a Republican anti-communist and Pallette a real RW nut-job. Pallette convinced that the Soviet Union was going to bomb the U.S. went to Oregon and holed up there waiting for the Russians to attack. LOL

[Auggie]

10. I didn't know that

Well, Arnold had the heartless conservative role nailed in film after film. He was the character you loved to hate.

Good one, Graybeard

[Auggie]

11. Two Actors:

you name the film.

[Graybeard]

12. Billy Wilder classic.

Top - Robert Strauss is Animal

Bottom - Peter Graves is Price

The movie: Stalag 17

Billy Wilder made so many great and memorable films. An amazing body of work. This one he adapted from a Broadway play and Strauss was in the original cast.

[Graybeard]

14. Generational divide.

Left - John Wayne played the title character.

Right - Stephanie Powers was his daughter.

The movie: McLintock (1963)

When I see Stephanie Powers I think more of Bobby Darin or Robert Wagner not The Duke. But it's an example of how Wayne's fabulous career spanned many generations.

[Graybeard]

24. Stephanie Powers was in "Stagecoach".

A remake of course. And a forgettable remake to be sure. Made in 1966 it also starred Alex Cord, Red Buttons and Bing Crosby (!)

[Auggie]

25. And "Mannix" star, Mike Connors

[Auggie]

15. Two actors:

Hint: The debut film for both

[Graybeard]

16. Hint 2: The eyes should give him away.

Hint 3: One of them was a lot younger in the movie.

[Auggie]

17. Thanks for waiting ...

Another hint: It's a movie from 40 years ago.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

18. got it

Ned Beatty

and

Billy Redden lives in Clayton, Ga...not really an actor...portrayed the inbred banjo picker, also played in Big Fish (2003)

film: Deliverance

[Auggie]

19. We have a winner!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. fun threads! will have to check in more often here. learning a lot. thanks -

[Auggie]

21. Two actors:

Should be easy since these actors shared a memorable scene, but here's one more hint: This film is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its release this year.

[Graybeard]

22. All-star cast.

Top - Richard Burton

Bottom - Richard Beymer

The movie: The Longest Day (1962)

A huge and expensive production and a cast
that includes dozens of big name stars in cameo
parts.

[Auggie]

23. Until "Schindler's List" ...

it was apparently the most expensive black and white film made.

Got it, Graybeard.

[Auggie]

26. Two actors:

Hint: An oldie from Columbia Pictures

[Graybeard]

27. Two of the best.

These two made a lot of films and created characters in (usually) small roles that are so wonderful we remember them even today. The film I think you are referring to here was made over 70 years ago! It's an all-time great folks and still plays on the TeeVee machine.

You should be able to get this one.

[Auggie]

28. Another hint:

The Walls of Jericho

[CBHagman]

29. That tells me the film...

...a major Academy Award winner by one of America's most beloved directors, but I couldn't say the names of the actors based on the photos.

[Auggie]

30. It's okay to name the film without knowing the actors ...

Some of these people are really obscure, though in their day they were probably as well-known as Philip Seymour Hoffman and William H Macy are today.

[Graybeard]

31. It swept the Oscars.

Top - Walter Connolly was the heiress's father.

Bottom - Alan Hale took the hitchikers for a ride.

The movie: It Happened One Night (1934)

This Frank Capra classic won all of the top Oscar categories.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actess, Best Actor, Best Writing.

[Auggie]

32. Yes. I watch this film every few years,

and marvel how advanced it seems for 1934. By advanced, I mean the pacing, editing, and character development. I never tire of it.
