Quote Studio publicity in 1941 claimed that Ronald Reagan and Ann Sheridan were scheduled to appear in this film, and Dennis Morgan is mentioned as the third lead. This was never the case, however, and the false story was planted, either by a studio publicist or a press agent for the three other actors, to keep their names in the press. Meanwhile George Raft was angling for the part with Jack L. Warner, but Hal B. Wallis had been assigned to search for what would be Humphrey Bogart's next starring role. He wrote to Warner that he had found the next movie for Bogart and the role was perfect for him. Nobody else was ever considered for the part. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/trivia?item=tr0657842 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0034583/trivia?item=tr0657842) Title: Re: February 2015 Stack Quiz Post by: deejay on Tuesday 03 February 2015, 09:38:12 pm Q8: John Ratzenberger

Q 6 = Destry Rides Again Title: Re: February 2015 Stack Quiz Post by: Darth.Vader on Thursday 05 February 2015, 11:13:46 pm Q9: What are "key numbers in the game of shooting craps"?
I've found "Hard Eight", (1996) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119256/?ref_=nv_sr_1 which references the craps term "eight the hard way"- that is a double-4 to get 8- a "Hard 8". I don't know whether this would be regarded as a "key number" or not. I've decided this is a vague and poorly worded question. Any thoughts? Title: Re: February 2015 Stack Quiz Post by: calpot on Saturday 28 February 2015, 05:30:50 pm Would love any help with q 1 or q 9 - q1 considered "lost in austen", "austenland", bridget jones series, and all the james bonds - there were 3 bond movies without q appearing and none of the others seem to fit either.
9. I found 2, 3, 7, 11 and 12 were the key numbers - can't find any non-consecutive series except star wars which obviously aren't these. 4. Sinister Title: Re: February 2015 Stack Quiz Post by: Darth.Vader on Saturday 28 February 2015, 08:01:54 pm Re. Q9. I think "Oceans 11", "Oceans 12", "Three Kings" and "spy Kids 3-D" or "8" George Clooney's movies would fit.
The problem being either the number 3 is duplicated or 8 is included, and apart from the Hard 8 example listed above, 8's not one of the most important numbers. Don't think it has to be a series per se, just have the same lead actor. They couldn't mean "Oceans 13" unless they've got very crooked dice. |
