    Hmmm…….I just checked, and I do have the 1940 British film ‘Gaslight’. However, I think that I’ll get the 1944 remake with Charles Boyer too (as Charles Boyer would be hard to beat).

    • VJ says:

      Rick, if you have Turner Classic Movies, “Gaslight” will be shown this Tuesday, November 26. But it’s early in the morning (4:15 a.m. Eastern) so unless you’re awake in the wee hours, you’d have to record it.

  2. Jason says:

    I got FJ, and (more or less) all DD. I say that, because, I was a little distracted, and, I read the clues, and knew them, but the players had said it already.

    Got about 1/3 of the TS.

    What I recall, very clearly, about the Foxx/Wilson show is the theme. That was entitled “The Streetbeater”, written by the recently departed Quincy Jones! The bass harmonica is catchy!

  3. Rick says:

    Well, it was another great game, and I did a tad above average. Ouch! I think that I do have the 1944 film ‘Gaslight’ so I’ll be sure to watch it. Anyways, I went with ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest’ for FJ, but I knew that would never leave the dock.

  4. Howard says:

    Preempted again, so it’s solely the recap pour moi. All 3 DDs very gettable. FJ stumped me, never saw the movie but now I wish I had. Riddle from middle school days long ago: Boy A and Boy B are standing side by side. What is Boy A’s name? Charles. Charles Boyer.

    No one knew “Catcher in the Rye” author? Guessed the shire lad. Gless/Daly, Foxx/Wilson were from shows I watched often.

    Appears to have been a very competitive game.

    • VJ says:

      Of the movie and the TV shows in today’s game, I’d recommend the Foxx/Wilson sitcom to the players. That is the funniest classic sitcom ever, imo!

      • Howard says:

        “VJ, I’m comin’ to join ya.”
        For me, nothing compares to Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Dick van Dyke show.

        • VJ says:

          🤣One of these days, Howard! To the moon!🤣 I watched a lot of The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy back in the day. The Dick Van Dyke show, not so much.

  5. Esme says:

    No one knew the Holden Caulfield question, or Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly show? Sheesh.

  6. Kevin Cheng says:

    Mehal got the last daily right, but then Adam stormed back to take the lead by the end of the DJ! round.

  7. VJ says:

    Several years before this movie, Frenchman Charles Boyer played Pepe Le Moko in the movie “Algiers”. That character was the inspiration for the Looney Tunes skunk, Pepe Le Pew.

    • Jason says:

      Algiers was a shot-for-shot remake of a French picture of the same name, also starring Boyer. I can’t get over how cool and slick that guy was!
