Putting on my Alex Trebek mustache once again I have selected another card featuring a variety of topics and questions meant to exercise your mind in the art of movie trivia.
I chose this latest card because it featured five different films or topics. One learns very quickly that many of these trivia cards have 4 or 5 questions wrapped around the same title. Therefore the answer to one question might be in the very next question asked. This card featured two questions on one title but since I have such a soft spot for this Gary Cooper film it worked for me.
As is the custom there are a couple in here that might trip you up so be careful. Number 2 was one I didn’t get but when reading the answer I did the “ahhhh it figures” routine. Seen the film but other than a nice change of pace for it’s leading actor I wasn’t impressed.
If you haven’t seen ol’ Blue Eyes in None But the Brave it’s worth seeking out and is available on DVD. Decent cast with Clint Walker appearing as his co-star and a former member of The Magnificent 7, Brad Dexter.
I am also a fan of the actor who starred opposite Bogie in The Maltese Falcon. This member of the John Ford stock company had a long career appearing opposite practically every star from the glory years of Hollywood. Click here for a great write up of his career from movie pal Kristina over at Speakeasy.
If number 3 is possibly giving you fits, here’s a clue though it’s not a daily double. Jane Russell was under contract to this mysterious recluse.
Just reading that question on Gary Cooper reminds me how fondly I recall that film where Coop had a young Anthony Perkins starring as his son, Dorothy McGuire as his wife and the unforgettable Marjorie Main as The Widow Hudspeth. Time for a re-watch and I recommend Friendly Persuasion to one and all.
If you made your choices then look below to find the answers to today’s questionable offerings.
Mike's Take On the Movies 
Thanks for the mention! I would’ve missed #2 never seen that movie and now the geographical error is the first thing I’ll think about when I do!
Always a pleasure to share the news on Wa…..nope don’t want to give away the answer. Max Schell in that 2nd question. A nice change of pace role.
Got all but two right this time…and I did get #2. It was directors Howard Hughes and Frank Sinatra that tripped me up!
Kind of fun doing these so I’ll be sure to more on occasion. Keeps us on our toes.
