Round Robin Trivia

Busy day again, so I start, and you guys take over:

Today it’s movies starting with M.

Name the movie based on the quote: “I’m sure it was your lack of vegatation and not your wife’s rampant nymphomania that was the problem.”

    I believe we’re stumped.

  2. Deborah Lipp says:

    “We” have not all looked in the forty minutes since I posted.

  3. Melville says:

    O.K., then, Evn and I are stumped.

  4. Deborah Lipp says:

    It’s a recent romantic comedy.

  5. George says:

    I don’t think I’m right but it’s all I’ve got–My Little Chickadee?

  6. George says:

    See, knew I wasn’t right.

  7. George says:

    Music and Lyrics.

    I love IMDB.

  8. George says:

    This film was made twice. The second version’s last words are the film’s title.

  9. George says:

    Is this too hard or is there no one out there? Deborah, did you post that trivia is happening at IIRTZ?

  10. Deborah Lipp says:

    I forgot to post at the Zoo. I’ll go do that. I find the question impossibly hard.

  11. Melville says:

    We need a hint.

  12. George says:

    The film (actually both) just got released on DVD. And although the second version was the 26th film for its male lead, it was his career-making role.

  13. George says:

    And the female lead of the second version is probably best known for her third husband who isn’t best known as an actor.

  14. Tom Hilton says:

    Magnificent Obsession? (Jane Wyman’s third husband was Ronald Reagan; this was Rock Hudson’s 26th film.)

  15. George says:

    Tom’s got it–and I’m off to lunch.

  16. Tom Hilton says:

    Adaptation of a novel whose title does not begin with an M; the film version is named after the protagonist.

  17. Tom Hilton says:

    Good guess, but nope. Different genre.

  18. Hogan says:

    Marlowe?

  19. Tom Hilton says:

    Hogan’s got it. Not a great movie, but interesting for its place in the equation: Maverick + Marlowe = Rockford.

  20. Hogan says:

    If anyone is still around:

    Same title, two different movies. Both directors known for thrillers, but only one is a thriller.

  21. Melville says:

    Is it Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941 & 2005) ?

  22. Melville says:

    Keeping it going:

    The first Oscar win for a double-Oscar winning actor.

  23. Hogan says:

    Either My Left Foot or Mr. Roberts.

  24. Melville says:

    Wow! I was thinking of My Left Foot, but Mr. Roberts is correct, too. Impressive.
