The movie is “Splendor in the Grass,” and I could “tell” it was a French kiss, and it’s known as being the first movie with a French kiss in it. I read it on imdb and two other places online.
TILLIE’s PUNCTURED ROMANCE - Was it Milton Berle?
I think Walt Disney won the most oscars.
The three directors question -
Orson Welles for Citizen Kane, John Huston for The Maltese Falcon, and Preston Sturges for The Great McGinty?
I’m wrong. John Huston didn’t win an oscar for The Maltese Falcon.
But, I just remembered that Mel Brooks got a best screenplay oscar for The Producers, his first feature film.
Yay!! I did good! I did good!! I feel so much better than I do in the other thread where I blundered so badly with my WAG’s…

Didn’t get voted for a damn thing!

Okay … who is the person who’s name appears in movie credits more often than anyone else’s?
Saint Eutychus H.M.S.H.
" ‘He is a prince’ , the minstrels sing.
Among men, yes. Among fools he is a king."

What’s the only case where two people each won an Academy Award for playing the same fictional character (but at different ages)?
This one isn’t a movie trivia question, but it leads naturally on from previous ones: What fictional character, played by the same actor, has appeared in five different TV series. Interestingly, only two of these series can be thought of as an original series and a spin-off, and neither are the one where the character originated. Only in one of these series was the character just a one-time role. In all the others the character was a regular. These series weren’t even all on the same network. I know of only one other character who appeared as a regular in one series and later (played by the same actor) was also a regular in another series that wasn’t a spin-off of the first series.
What’s the only time that a movie and its sequel won Best Picture Oscars? What’s the only time that the first movie in a series didn’t win Best Picture, but its sequel did? (A friend argued with me about whether the second film should actually be considered a sequel. Well, they, were made from the same sequence of novels, and at least one character (played by a different actor) carried over from one movie to the next.)
GODFATHER and GODFATHER II were both best picture winners.
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was sort of a sequel to the 1986 movie MANHUNTER, which featured Brian Cox as Hannibal Lechter.
Most Oscars: John Williams
Documentary: Hoop Dreams
As for the question about Lay Lady Lay, I do know that Bob Dylan wrote the music for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (?) starring Chris Christofferson, and that Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door came from it. But I don’t recall any other movies he wrote songs for.
Another example of two actors appearing in two nonsequel movies as the same two characters is Kelly McGillis and Alexander Gudonov, who appear as their characters from the 1985 film Witness in a short scene in the 1994 film North. This really is a very brief cameo. You’ve got about two seconds to figure out that it’s them and that it’s a reference to the first film.
