    Trivia
    I used Google to search western character actors and went from there... then went to imdb to do research on their movies.

    I was also on a western board and they came up with Jaeckel, but most believed it to be Wynn.

    Groucho
    Great find on that Groucho link.. . Terrific interview. And clearly "Love Happy" is the right answer.

    Denholm Elliott - the British actor in the Indiana Jones movies - was a RAF pilot shot down over Europe in WW2. Appeared in "The Boys from Brazil" with LO.

    Keenan Wynn
    He may be the right answer to #33, but I didn't find any "high profile" 1970s TV movies in his credits.

    What is the answer to number 77?

    69 sounds like "The Godfather" but it's not his uncle, it's his father

    I can't figure out #69. The uncle part is confusing. Did anyone get #55? What movie brought together a grown-up "Little Rascal", a Betwitched" star and a contributor to "Michael Jackson's Thriller"?

    # 55 is the "The Bat"

    Did anybody get # 77 about the title of the next quiz?

    How about #39 in regards to the typle of plane in "Best Years of Our Lives"?

    I believe the plane to be a B-17 bomber

    Thanks for B-17

    I can't figure out #69 either

    Anybody have #19 about the NJ composer & 70's movie villain?

    Vikings?
    I would have bet that Mickey Rooney was never a Viking (unless he played football in Minnesota).. . But there he is in the 1989 Terry Jones comedy as the grandfather of Erik the Red. Good answer - thanks.

    Now how about #52? The dinosaur-fighter who romanced Ann-Margret and "advised" Harvey Keitel?

    Or #77? Bonded with Bond, took part in a haunting and stowed away on a spaceship (Lost in Space?).. .

    Will trade answers if you post the ones you need.

    Look up Antheil on IMDB.com
  • Feb 16, 2005, 03:30 PM
    Mister VHS
    I don't have #52 or #77. What else are you looking for?

    I thought George Antheil originally but I couldn't figure out the movie so I figured that was wrong. I must be missing something.

    Does anybody have the film that was novelized three different times #16

    I don't know about anybody else but I have lost patience with the griefstricken best picture #69 because I know I'll be kicking myself after I find out
