Pointless movie trivia

In the classic movie “Frankenstein,” with Boris Karloff, who is credited in the closing credits with playing the Monster?

No cheating.

(Hint: I’ve already given you the answer!)

Question Mark.

Boris Karloff?

Would know Uke or Eve would spoil the fun. :smiley:

Well, I too was gonna say Boris, but that seems too obvious.

So I’ll Say: Florence Henderson!

Lou Reed’s father?


“It’s only common sense,
There are no accidents 'round here.”

Keith Richards?

Waitaminnit. Trick question.

“The Monster” was credited with a question mark in the OPENING CREDITS. At the end of the flick, under “A Good Cast is Worth Repeating,” Boris Karloff IS credited…he comes in, I think, as number four, under Colin Clive, Mae Clark, and John Boles.


Uke

Tim Curry?

Actually, Ike, it was Quotation Mark.
Question Mark was under contract to MGM, and Mr. Mayers wouldn’t lend him out to another studio.

You’re all wrong. I know this one.

Oprah Winfrey

Fred Gwynne?


My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny.

Again I must go off topic to address Uke Ike:

  1. Just how many frickin’ reference books to you have at your fingertips arrayed about your workstation?
    and
  2. What kind of suped-up, V-8 search engine are you usin’, hoss?

Nahhhhh…Mjollnir said not to cheat, so I didn’t. Looking things up constitutes cheating, doesn’t it?

Most of my old-movie knowledge resides right here, in between my ears. I’m particularly good at Frankenstein movies and Marx Bros. movies, having drummed them into my brain-pan at age 12. I remember whole chunks of dialogue and complete mise-en-scenes, while forgetting to pick up my daughter after school.

Girlie movies, almost anything starring Bette Davis, I’m hopeless with, but that’s why we have Eve, right?


Uke

Oh, is THAT why we have Eve?

Okay, since that one’s been answered, here’s another:

Gone With the Wind is well known for being the first major American film to use the word “damn”. What was the second American film to use it?

Damn Yankees?

Well, actually, a good number of silent films and early talkies used “damn” before censorship was enforced in 1934 . . .

NEVER use “first” when it comes to film history!

I’ll give it a shot. How about High Noon?


I understand all the words, they just don’t make sense together like that.

I remember “The damn little cuss! 'Rassled with my fangers” in some story, possibly “Outcasts of Poker Flats.”

Don’t know if that was made into a movie, but it was quite controversial in 11th grade English Lit.
