FRANK SAID:

On the actors list:

Two of the definites are wrong. (In one case, I think it was a typo, since the same actor appears twice).

This is the typo:

A-79. “Miss Huberman is first, last, and always not a lady. She may be risking her life, but when it comes to being a lady, she doesn't hold a candle to your wife, sitting in Washington, playing bridge with three other ladies of great honor and virtue.”
JAMES GARNER

CARY GRANT describing Ingrid Bergman in Notorious


Of the answers with a question mark, six are right and five are wrong. (One is a definite case of 'right church, wrong pew.')

A-54. She won her only Oscar the same year her brother won the first of his five Oscars.
SHIRLEY MACLAINE?

Can't be. Warren Beatty wasn't nominated the year she won. I was thinking Norma Shearer but her brother Douglas-the-sound-guy won more than five Oscars.

A-70. She and her husband were the first of three married couples to jointly receive the Kennedy Center Honors.
ANNE BANCROFT?

How about JESSICA TANDY? I seem to recall she and Cronyn were honored together.

A-76. In addition to getting three Oscar nominations for acting, he has co-produced five movies that were nominated for Best Picture, including two that won.
MICHAEL DOUGLAS?

He's gotten two Oscars but one acting, one producing. I thought of Kirk Douglas but, nope.

I rechecked this and my original source was wrong on the number of Oscars that Douglas Shearer won. Sorry about that!

Updated consolidation. I removed the clues from the answers that Frank confirmed.

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.

LIST A: ACTORS

A-1. “And then what did he do? Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you exactly what to do, what to say? You were a very apt pupil too, weren't you? You were a very apt pupil! Well, why did you pick on me? Why me?”

A-2. The first of her seven Oscar nominations put her in direct competition with her own sister.

A-3. “You got that from Vickers' Work in Essex County, page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you palm it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a f**kin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library!”
MATT DAMON

A-4. A recipient of a Purple Heart for his service in World War II, this actor went on to survive arguably the two best World War II action flicks of the 1960s.

Among the actors, one of the definites is wrong. Among those with a single question mark, two are wrong. (One is a case of "right church, wrong pew.") The one with two alternate answers includes the correct answer.

Among the films, all the definites are correct. Among those with a single question mark, one is wrong. The ones that include two alternates all include the correct answer. In one case, it's just a matter of which of the two alternates is the correct title; they both refer to the same movie. In another case ... it doesn't matter.

The name of the Henry James novella is The Turn of the Screw and several film versions have appeared under that name. However, the most famous version, and doubtless the one Frank is looking for starred Deborah Kerr and is titled The Innocents.

Since we’ve identified the wrong actors, the rest of them must be correct.

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.

All the definites are correct on both lists.

Of the ones with a single question mark, everything is correct except one movie.

The ones with two alternates contain the correct answer.

Take a look at the original question for A-12. It contains a clue to one of the unidentified actors.
jarnon wrote:Since we’ve identified the wrong actors, the rest of them must be correct.

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-15. “They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder. And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”
EDWARD G. ROBINSON? HARVEY KEITEL?

A-16. RITA HAYWORTH
A-17. BILL PULLMAN
A-18. TOM CONTI
A-19. ROBERT MITCHUM
A-20. HELEN MIRREN
A-21. DAME JUDI DENCH

A-36. GENE TIERNEY
A-37. PETER LORRE
A-38. RICHARD DREYFUSS

They look back at their lives, see who they were, what they accomplished, how close they came to realizing their dreams. The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out. He gets a refrigerator.”

A-40. JEAN ARTHUR

OK - it was Fast Times at Ridgemont High. The other two stoners are Nicolas Cage and Anthony Edwards.

I am betting that it's Cage. He's won an Oscar, so maybe he's the answer to A-22.

How about JENNIFER JONES? She and Robert Walker had some lovely scenes in Since You Went Away and she married David O Selznick shortly afterward.

Probably THE WORLD ACCORDING TO GARP
__

B-14. This 1939 biopic gave rise to a new nickname for an 1876 invention.
THE STORY OF ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL?

This HAS to be right. In Ball of Fire (the movie her quote comes from in List A), Barbara Stanwyck asks Gary Cooper's professor looking for slang, if he knows what it is to get somebody on The Ameche.

Don Ameche played Bell.
__

Speaking of Stanwyck...

A-15. “They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder. And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”
EDWARD G. ROBINSON? HARVEY KEITEL?"

Definitely Robinson. Double Indemnity, when he's talking to Fred MacMurray about what happens in Stanwyck's Phyllis sues them for the insurance money.

Coming in late - but I think I can contribute to a few:

LIST A: ACTORS

A-15. “They may think it's twice as safe because there's two of them, but it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder. And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops. They're stuck with each other and they got to ride all the way to the end of the line and it's a one-way trip and the last stop is the cemetery.”
EDWARD G. ROBINSON? HARVEY KEITEL?
100% Edward G Robinson in Double Indemnity

A-22. It has long been rumored that this Oscar-winning actor could give Dirk Diggler a run for his money, but he and his lawyer would like people to stop talking about it. (Good luck with that.)
James Woods?

A-39. “I came up with a new game-show idea recently. It's called The Old Game. You got three old guys with loaded guns onstage. They look back at their lives, see who they were, what they accomplished, how close they came to realizing their dreams. The winner is the one who doesn't blow his brains out. He gets a refrigerator.”
Sam Rockwell in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

A-57. “Mrs. Peters, in a half-an-hour there's going to be a full-on nuclear attack. The missiles are on their way now. L.A.'s going to be a desert again very soon.”
Gene Hackman (in the first Superman movie).

B-27. “I told him I'd be ready on my 20th birthday.”
“But that's tomorrow. And will you be ready?”
“Well, that all depends.”
“What on?”
“Whether or not the furniture comes back.”
THE GRADUATE? BABY DOLL?
Almost certain it is not The Graduate

B-43. “My daughter speaks with the wisdom beyond her years. We've all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.”

A-8. This Bahamian-born actor received both a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II and the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama.

Sidney Poitier, IIRC from his autobiography that I read awhile ago - he was born in Florida - when his mother was in the states temporarily -but grew up in the Bahamas.

Don't know if this will help someone or not, but:

A-60. Her last feature film was also the last feature film personally produced by Walt Disney.
I believe the movie was The Happiest Millionaire. The only cast members I remember, however, were Fred MacMurray, Lesley Anne Warren, and John Davidson.


ALSO, Esto posted this:
B-9. “I ... I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead ... every single one of them. And not just the men. But the women and the children, too. They're like animals and I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!”
This was either the 1st or 2nd Star Wars prequel - Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) said it.

It was Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones.
