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).
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.
Thanks for the tip VJ! Actually, I got my hands on the film a little more than an hour ago so I’ll watch it on my DVD player tonight.
Cool, Rick, I hope you enjoy it.
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!
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.
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.
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!
“VJ, I’m comin’ to join ya.”
For me, nothing compares to Honeymooners, I Love Lucy, Dick van Dyke show.
🤣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.
No one knew the Holden Caulfield question, or Sharon Gless and Tyne Daly show? Sheesh.
Mehal got the last daily right, but then Adam stormed back to take the lead by the end of the DJ! round.
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.
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!
