2. Goddard?

Don't know about the other, but didn't Mel Brooks play someone named Goddard in Life Stinks? I don't know if Bolts was the last name.

[red dog 1]

3. That's it!

In "Life Stinks", Mel Brooks' character's name was Goddard Bolt
(Lesley Ann Warren was his co-star)

(Huge hint; He was a stuntman)

[VGNonly]

6. William H. "Whiplash Willie" Gingrich

[JoseBalow]

7. The Fortune Cookie

I love that movie!

[VGNonly]

8. Another great film by Billy Wilder.

Have you ever watched One, Two, Three?

[JoseBalow]

9. "A herniated disk, Doctor? Are you sure?"

"Why do you think I wear this outfit, because I'm a barber?"

Billy Wilder was one of the greatest! One, Two, Three sounds familiar. Is that with Jimmy Cagney? I think I remember seeing that years ago, but I don't recall much about it. He was an American businessman in Germany after the war, right?

[VGNonly]

10. Walter Matthau won the Oscar

for Best Supporting in this film, very well deserved.

Jimmy Cagney played such a manic comedic role in One, Two, Three that he was exhausted after the film. He retired for 20 years, only to play in one more film (Ragtime) in the 80s. His role in Mister Roberts was masterful!

[JoseBalow]

11. Mister Roberts was such a great film!

Cagney was just fantastic. And William Powell was in his finest form. The whole cast was awesome, really, but it was one of Jack Lemmon's very best roles, which is saying a lot. He won Best Supporting Actor for that part. He's one of my all-time favorites, ever. He was great in The Apartment, another fantastic Billy Wilder classic. But him and Walter Matthau together, that's one of the best teams ever on film!

[VGNonly]

12. Another great Wilder film: Stalag 17

*Spoiler*

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Evelyn Couch

[Mad_Dem_X]

26. Fried Green Tomatoes

[JoseBalow]

27. Lynn Forshay

[VGNonly]

28. Jim Casy

[Harker]

30. The preacher from "The Grapes of Wrath."

John Carradine was good in that role.

[VGNonly]

31. It's been said that Jim Casy

filled the John the Baptist role in the novel and film.

[Harker]

32. I took him for more of another J.C., but I know little of biblical matters.

I surely miss a lot of allusions.

[VGNonly]

34. There is another facet

of the Jim Casy/John the Baptist story. Ed Ricketts; a marine biologist, ecologist and philosopher was a good friend of John Steinbeck. A mystic of sorts, he had great influence on Steinbeck.

[Harker]

39. He seems to have been an interesting man.

Thanks for bringing him up, VGNonly.

There was a 1930 version with Ricardo Cortez as Sam Spade, and Dwight Frye as Wilmer.

I only saw it once, and it was a treat.

[VGNonly]

125. Bogart, Lorre and Greenstreet

It's one of my favorite film genres...the high contrast lighting and character elements — a protagonist, villains, femme fatale etc,. just appeals to my eye and sensibilities.

[Harker]

82. Thank you, brush!

I grew up loving film noir (and I include a lot of 30s-40s horror) for all the aspects you mentioned.

I borrowed a deluxe edition of "The Maltese Falcon" that included a 1930 version that starred Ricardo Cortez as Sam Spade, and featured Dwight Frye as Wilmer the gunsel. Well worth watching, brush, if you get the chance.

66 year old male.

[brush]

83. Oh, I'm going to try to find that earlier version of "The Maltese Falcon."

I watch TCM a lot and have seen Recardo Cortez in other movies. Thanks for the tip.

[red dog 1]

90. Ding!

One of the other female singers, Maria Doyle (as Natalie Murphy) popped up in the very funny 1997 movie "The Matchmaker" starring Janeane Garofalo and Milo O'Shea.
