What 40s leading lady/sex symbol also invented a device useful to Allied forces during WWII?

Seven Little Foys was right FYI. Not sure of answer-- I'll say the Mae West vest ('40's kinda throws me though ). Name the original director, removed from the production of Gone With the Wind?

George Cukor
Joan Crawford was confronted with a director some four decades younger than her when she did a segment of the pilot film for Rod Serling's TV series Night Gallery in 1969. Who was her director on that?

The answer to the inventor was Hedy Lamarr (!).. evidently she and her father were electronic geniuses and developed some sort of radar tracking device ..I remember the Night Gallery episode but not the director...

Quote by robertaxel: That's probably because he was only 22 when he made it. He was this young tyro director from Phoenix, Arizona named Steven Spielberg, Anyway.... In which of his films does Clint Eastwood utter the immortal line "Dyin' ain't much of a livin', boy."?

Wild guess on Clint line-- 'Dirty Harry.'
Judy Holliday won Oscar (in upset!) for which film? Bonus-- name the director.

Actually, the Eastwood line is from THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES
Judy Garland won for THE WIZARD OF OZ, which Victor Fleming directed.
What Sam Peckinpah film contained a rape scene of such horror that the film itself was banned in Britain for close to thirty years?

answer to Erik's question was Straw Dogs, I think

No idea what starts with The End-- maybe 'The Doors' Judy Hollyday won an Oscar for 'Born Yesterday,' which was directed by George Cukor. I think Judy Garland won an 'honorary' Oscar for Wizard of Oz-- sorta for being a great kid star or something. Name Buster Keaton's most famous film-- a silent era one set in the Civil War & featuring a train & dangerous stunts (which he did himself).

In answer to Arjan's question, I think it's Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW.
Which Paddy Chayefsky-scripted film stars George C. Scott as a doctor?

In answer to Arjan's question, I think it's Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW. Correct. It starts with the song The End by The Doors

Answer to Robert's question: THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
What Brian DePalma-directed film held (and maybe still does hold) the record for most uses of the F-word at 200+?

Post by egoodstein on Jun 26, 2008 16:09:02 GMT -5
Scarface I think. Wonder if 'Reservoir Dogs' is close though. . . ;D De Palma's film are often homages to Hitchcock. What composer who also worked extensively w. Hitchcock did the scores of some Palma films?

Bernard Herrman?
what film did Hitchcock make twice, most recently in 1956?

Hud.
Newman's HUd costar Patricia Neal a few years earlier costarred in a noteworthy film costarring Andy Griffith-- playing a glib-talking, scheming talk show host. What's that film?

IF... Which of Elvis' films was directed by Don Siegel?
|
|

Post by egoodstein on Jun 28, 2008 18:51:20 GMT -5
I think it was the western one 'Flaming Star.' Not too terrible in fact (though a long time since I saw, so maybe it is ;D!?) What Siegel film featured Walter Matthau in an offbeat (for him!) role?
