Game #170 – It’s All in the Title

[mellytu74]

A number of legit alternate answers have popped up, which probably won't hurt the final outcome, so I haven't bothered with them. However, Citizen Kane will need to be used again, so it's only fair for me to say that my intended Mr. Lucky match was Laraine Day in I Married a Communist.

A couple more multi-use ones

Second use of Greer Garson, second use of Citizen Kane

A-60. GREER GARSON (Mrs Parkington) with Agnes Moorhead (B-1. CITIZEN KANE)

Second use of Cary Grant, third use of Citizen Kane (Thanks TCM's August Summer Under the Stars for this one)

A-79. CARY GRANT (Mr. Lucky) with Paul Stewart ( (B-1. CITIZEN KANE)

Second use of Shirley Temple, second use of Gold Diggers

A-10. SHIRLEY TEMPLE (Little Miss Marker) with Adolph Menjou (B-20. GOLD DIGGERS OF 1935)

Third use of Shirley Temple, second use of They Knew What They Wanted

A-10. SHIRLEY TEMPLE (Miss Annie Rooney) with William Gargan (B-28. THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED)

Completely forgot she was in that, Frank. Thanks.

[mellytu74]

The REAL third use of Citizen Kane, now that Laraine Day is with Mr. Lucky

A-15. EDWARD G. ROBINSON (Mr. Winkle goes to War) with Ruth Warrick (B-1. CITIZEN KANE)

Second use of Pocohantas

A-21. DAME JUDI DENCH (Mrs. Brown) with Billy Connolly (B-43. POCOHANTAS)

[silverscreenselect]

Ian McKellen was Mr. Holmes with Laura Linney (Exorcism of Emily Rose) (a cheat on her filmography)

[silverscreenselect]

Duh...

Julie Christie was in McCabe and Mrs. Miller with Warren Beatty (Bonnie and Clyde).

[mellytu74]

Second and third uses of Clifton Webb, second use of Little Women, second use of Alexander Graham Bell

A-56. CLIFTON WEBB (Mr. Scoutmaster) with Frances Dee (B-2. LITTLE WOMEN)

A-56. CLIFTON WEBB (Remarkable Mr. Pennypacker) with Charles Coburn (B-14. THE STORY OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL)

Just realized that Charles Coburn was also in Devil and Miss Jones with Jean Arthur. I matched it with Little Women's Spring Byington. I wonder if that is one of the unintended ones Frank mentioned.

[mellytu74]

I had a feeling this was the actor so I checked the movie.

A-8. SIDNEY POITIER (They Call Me Mr. Tibbs) with Jeff Corey (B-11. OH, GOD!)

Just realized this match

A-41. DUSTIN HOFFMAN (Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium) with Natalie Portman (B-9. STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES)

[jarnon]

Near-final consolidation:

Identify the 80 actors in List A and the 45 movies in List B. (Every other clue is a quotation.) Then, form 87 pairs, each consisting of one actor and one movie, and 3 triples, each consisting of two actors and one movie, according to a Tangredi, or principle you must discover for yourself.

Nine actors will be used twice and two will be used three times.

Twenty-four movies will be used twice, six will be used three times, and three will be used four times.

I am sure alternate answers will pop up. We’ll consider it done when every clue has been legitimately used.

A-41. DUSTIN HOFFMAN (Mr. Magorium's Wonder Imporium) with Natalie Portman (B-9. STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES)

All the movies have been matched! These actors still need matches:

A-2. VANESSA REDGRAVE
A-12. ERIC STOLTZ
A-18. TOM CONTI
A-24. TY BURRELL (Mr. Peabody and Sherman)
A-25. RENEE ZELLWEGER (Miss Potter)
A-29. BILLY CRYSTAL (Mr. Saturday Night)
A-33. GEORGE CLOONEY
A-44. ROWAN ATKINSON (Mr. Bean)

A-54. NORMA SHEARER
A-57. ANTHONY EDWARDS
A-61. ADAM SANDLER (Mr. Deeds)
A-62. ERIC BLORE (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad)
A-73. MAGGIE SMITH (The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie)

[silverscreenselect]

George Clooney was Fantastic Mr. Fox with Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers)

[mellytu74]

A couple I realized when I saw the unused list

A-53. WILLIAM POWELL (Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid) with Ann Blyth (B-22. BRUTE FORCE)

A-18. TOM CONTI (Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence) with Jack Thompson (B-9. STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES) unless there's a David Bowie movie here I am missing

A-25. RENEE ZELLWEGER (Miss Potter) with Ewan McGregor (B-9. STAR WARS EPISODE II: ATTACK OF THE CLONES)

A-57. ANTHONY EDWARDS (Mr. North)

A-54. NORMA SHEARER (Last of Mrs. Cheyney)

ALSO, if we need another already used actor with another movie to make the numbers come out -- Jean Arthur was The Ex Mrs, Bradford with William Powell (The Thin Man)

[Pastor Fireball]

A-2. VANESSA REDGRAVE (Mrs. Dalloway) with Michael Kitchen (B-21. GOLDENEYE)

A-12. ERIC STOLTZ (Mr. Jealousy) with Annabella Sciorra (B-7. JUNGLE FEVER)

[mellytu74]

A-54. NORMA SHEARER (Last of Mrs. Cheyney) with Basil Rathbone (B-3. THE COURT JESTER)

Third use of The Court Jester.

[silverscreenselect]

Rowan Atkinson actually made two Bean movies, the first simply called Bean (which wouldn't qualify under Frank's rules) and a sequel entitled Mr. Bean's Holiday with Willem Dafoe (Finding Nemo).

One of the co-stars with Maggie Smith in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie was Pamela Franklin, who I had a crush on from her appearances in 70's TV and horror movies (and then quit acting at a very young age). Franklin made her screen debut as one of the children in The Innocents.

[Pastor Fireball]

A-29. BILLY CRYSTAL (Mr. Saturday Night) with David Paymer (B-23. AMISTAD)

A-57. ANTHONY EDWARDS (Mr. North) with Robert Mitchum (B-40. THE YAKUZA)

[mellytu74]

Fourth use of The Court Jester

A-62. ERIC BLORE (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) with Basil Rathbone (B-3. THE COURT JESTER)

Third use of Jungle Fever

A-61. ADAM SANDLER (Mr. Deeds) with John Turturro (B-7. JUNGLE FEVER)

As far as I can tell, after the latest additions, this is the only actor unmatched.

A-24. TY BURRELL (Mr. Peabody and Sherman)

[silverscreenselect]

Fourth use of The Court Jester

A-62. ERIC BLORE (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) with Basil Rathbone (B-3. THE COURT JESTER)

Third use of Jungle Fever

A-61. ADAM SANDLER (Mr. Deeds) with John Turturro (B-7. JUNGLE FEVER)

As far as I can tell, after the latest additions, this is the only actor unmatched.

A-24. TY BURRELL (Mr. Peabody and Sherman)

Allison Janney supplied voices in Mr. Peabody and in Finding Dory, so that should close out the puzzle.

[franktangredi]

Fourth use of The Court Jester

A-62. ERIC BLORE (The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad) with Basil Rathbone (B-3. THE COURT JESTER)

Third use of Jungle Fever

A-61. ADAM SANDLER (Mr. Deeds) with John Turturro (B-7. JUNGLE FEVER)

As far as I can tell, after the latest additions, this is the only actor unmatched.

A-24. TY BURRELL (Mr. Peabody and Sherman)

Allison Janney supplied voices in Mr. Peabody and in Finding Dory, so that should close out the puzzle.

Yep, you're done. Not all the matches were what I intended, but they all work.

Here are the only two intended matches that nobody got (that I recall.)

A-31. Michael Caine + Jim Belushi (B-18. About Last Night….) = Mr. Destiny.
A-21. Judi Dench + Bob Hoskins (B-31. Enemy at the Gates) = Mrs. Henderson Presents

[silverscreenselect]

Thanks Frank, good puzzle.

[Bob78164]

Thanks, Frank. I'm always happy when I can be the first to provide an answer. That's a fairly rare occurrence. --Bob

[mellytu74]

This was a lot of fun, Frank. Thanks!!
