[helga22]

It looks like this quiz is just too hard - again.

I guess the prize money will be $750 next time because they will not find anyone to answer all questions correct.

10. Name the WWII movie where, in the final scenes, most of the platoon perish attempting to clear a minefield:*

I've been googling my little heart out, and best I can come up with is The Red Beret (1953)

According to a helpful soul over at IMDB:

I just watched The Red Beret aka Paratrooper in the U.S. and the final scenes do involve the unit about to be annihilated in a mine field

 4. Which actor, following the separation from his actress wife, stated: "I could not compete with my mother-in-law"?*

Arnold Schwarzenegger???

"I could not compete with my mother-in-law"

What does this mean exactly?

• Mother-in-law was meddling?
• Mother-in-law had a lifestyle his paycheck couldn't match?
• Mother-in-law's celebrity status was shadowing his?

[Arran]

I have looked at every search engine possible with no success.  I have a feeling it is an older actor because no one bad-mouths an ex nowadays.  I am looking for a mother-in-law who was either so glamorous or well-known he couldn't compete or his ex-wife was so close to her mother that he didn't get a look in.  The only bites I have had are from the other comping sites where I don't have access, so I can't see if the answers are there.  Would be nice if a compingclub person won it.

could number 4 answer be

DANNI MINOGUE

"I could not compete with my mother-in-law"

What does this mean exactly?

• Mother-in-law was meddling?
• Mother-in-law had a lifestyle his paycheck couldn't match?
• Mother-in-law's celebrity status was shadowing his?

I lean towards the FAMOUS ACTOR, married to FAMOUS ACTRESS who has a FAMOUS MOTHER.

Someone like Liza Minelli/Judy Garland or Carrie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds, but the husbands don't fit

[helga22]

could number 4 answer be

DANNI MINOGUE

It has to be a male... "Which actor, following the separation from his actress wife..."

[Arran]

It has to be an older actor from way back as there is just no current info on the phrase at all!  I have tried everything but will have another go!

[JRN]

Don Johnson married and divorced Melanie Griffith whose mother Tippi Hedren starred in a film with Don Johnson "The Harrad Experiment" (and was in Hitchcok's "The Birds")

Fits the FAMOUS ACTOR - FAMOUS WIFE, FAMOUS MIL bill.  Dont know about the quote though, but it may have been difficult to compete as an ACTOR with his MIL who starred in The Birds perhaps??
