Movie Trivia Answer to Question #17 and New Question #18
"Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to seduce me . . . aren't you?" was Dustin Hoffman's line in his breakthrough role in The Graduate. The song Mrs. Robinson was recorded by Simon and Garfunkel. As Donna said, Coo coo cachoo.
Donna, Reon, and Shelia were correct in naming both the film and the pop duo and all earn a total of 6 points. (They all also knew that Dustin Hoffman was the actor speaking).
New scores:
Donna has 46 OGGS
Patricia has 41 OGGS
Reon has 40 OGGS
Shelia has 39 OGGS
Mel and Gwyneth are unchanged
It's still anybody's game, y'all! As Butterfly McQueen said in one of her movie roles: "This is just like my wedding night . . . so exciting!"
Since there are only two days to go, I'm going to go buck wild with an array of quotes from different movies. Some of these are easy, others not so.
Here we go:
"Stellllllll-aaaaaaa!"
1 point for the actor speaking, uh, yelling; 3 points for the name of the movie.
"The calla lillies are in bloom again." 1 point for who said it; 5 points if you can name the movie.
"They call me Mister Tibbs!" 1 point for the actor speaking; 3 points for the name of the movie.
"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." 1 point for the name of the movie; 1 point for the actor speaking.
"No wire hangers . . . EVER!" 1 point for the name of the movie; 2 points for the actor speaking (not the actor being portrayed.)
Here's some real tough ones that require me to set a scene:
Scene: The business office of a restaurant chain.
Playboy: "l wish l could get interested in work." Manager: "You were probably frightened by a callus at an early age." 3 points for the name of the movie; 2 points for the name of the wisecracking female who made the response. (Hint: She is well known to moviegoers as a faculty member of Rydell High in the movie version of a stage musical.)
Scene: A dinner party where a radio station owner is explaining the subtle nuances of advertisements on people, the host's maid in particular: Radio Station Owner: "Sadie doesn't know it, but she's been penetrated." Host: "You better not let her hear you say that." 5 points for the name of the movie; 2 points for the actor who played the host (Hint: He's still alive today, age 90, and has an equally accomplished son.)
That last one is especially a favorite of mine, as I continue to ply you all with messages about my upcoming book!
Answers tomorrow after Noon Central Time.

Hi Bettye,
*Marlon Brando--"A Streetcar Named Desire"
*Katherine Hepburn--"Stage Door"
*Sidney Poitier- "In The Heat of The Night"
*Michael Douglas-"Wall Street"
*Faye Dunaway- "Mommy Dearest"
*Eve Arden- "Mildred Pierce" (I LOVE, LOVE this movie.
On my top ten classic faves-loved to hate that evil
Veda Pierce.)
*Kirk Douglas (Michael's father) --"A Letter to Three
Wives." Another great movie. Just for fun Sadie was
the scene-stealing Thelma Ritter. No one did
cranky-but-lovable better. :-) Stole all her scenes in
my No. 1 classic fave "All About Eve", too.
Reon :-)
"Stellllllll-aaaaaaa!" - movie A Streetcar Named Desire
"The calla lillies are in bloom again." movie: Stage Door Actor who said it: Katherine Hepburn
"They call me Mister Tibbs!" movie: In the Heat of the Night Actor who said it: Sidney Poitier
"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good." movie: Wall Street Actor who said it: Michael Douglas
"No wire hangers . . . EVER!" Mommie Dearest Actor who said it: Faye Dunaway
Playboy: "l wish l could get interested in work." Manager: "You were probably frightened by a callus at an early age." Movie: Mildred Pierce Actress is Eve Arden
Yay! I'm in first - and I got a mention! :)
So to keep my streak alive, here goes:
"Stellla" was done by Marlon Brando in "A Streetcar Named Desire."
"Calla lillies" sounds like Katharine Hepburn. The movie is "Stage Door".
"Mister Tibbs" was uttered by the legendary Sidney Poitier in "In the Heat of the Night." (One of my favorite movies)
"Greed" was uttered by Michael Douglas in "Wall Street". I believe he won an Oscar for that part. (and what a character name Gordon Gekko!)
"Wire Hangers" was the best line! It was Faye Dunaway playing Joan Crawford (scarier that Freddy!) in "Mommie Dearest." That was the birth of the my parent was a monster genre, I think.
Now for the tough ones:
Playboy: The woman is Eve Arden from "Grease". The movie is "Mildred Pierce."
"Sadie": I'll bet the guy who played the host is Kirk Douglas. But I have no clue about the movie.
