> [@Bricker](#): > > I would have no heartburn using _Toy Story_ as a partial answer to “Tom Hanks and Tim Allen,” nothwithstanding the fact that neither actor’s likeness appears in the film. I’m not disagreeing with you. Voice acting is something I thought about but never considered narration. Since I didn’t say that voice-work doesn’t count as an appearance, I don’t mind it staying. The only reason I’d exclude it is because it’s seems hard enough to find the right answers when the actors actually do appear in the films. It almosts seems like a trick question when it’s voice only. ---

> [@bclouse](#): > > Any hints? Not that is gonna help. My guesses would be: 1. The movie where Tracy plays Clarence Darrow. Drawing a blank on the name right now. 2. _It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World_. Tracy is in that, and so is just about everybody else, so it’s possible that Morgan was also. 3. Some WWII flick. ---

Harry Morgan was the judge in “Ingerit the WInd,” which starred Tracy as a thinly disguised Clarence Darrow. That’s the only one I know for sure.
