Okay, okay. :D:D I’m thick. Actually, Spellbound entered my mind, but I couldn’t recall the whole 21 lunch scene. The Old Dark House - Charles Laughton? ---

Yes, Laughton. That’s one. Spellbound is another, but not the gimme I was thinking of. Come on, one more. ---

These remain: Everything I ever learned about spiral staircases, I learned from Marlene Dietrich. Everything I ever learned about zippers, I learned from Kevin Costner. Lis\_8 I learned everything I know about Boris Karloff from Raymond Massey Lis\_10 I learned everything I know about smoking marijuana from Robert Powell. Lis\_13 I learned everything I know about coffee Gloria Graham. Lis\_15a I learned everything I know about closets from Gloria Stuart. . . . and the more obscure Shelley Winters/swimming reference. ---

Oh, God. I don’t know liss. I think you overestimate my film knowledge with your “gimmies.” 😃 I think God might know the films you do, if only he had the time. 😃 Trying in vain to cheat on the IMDB, I find Gloria Graham was only in MP and the Holy Grail. I don’t know. I\_L\_6 “Everything I needed to know about honoring thy father, I learned from Nova Pilbeam” I\_L\_7 “Everything I needed to know about the olfaction of subterfuge, I learned from Burl Ives” ---

sorry; gloria grahamE. Gloria Stuart was the other gimme; the Raymond Massey I thought was pretty obvious. ---

I haven’t actually _seen_ the old dark house, but who cares about a technicality like that? I\_L\_9 “Everything I needed to know about directing a children’s choir, I learned from Deborah Kerr” ---

Hmm. Can’t think of another example. Is that the one where she’s a nun in a cave or something? ---

Sorry if I dug too deep; I didn’t want to make them too easy (_Everything I know about sleds I learned from Orson Welles; Ruby Slippers/Judy Garland; Birds/Tippi Hedren_), but I rejected a lot that were even more obscure (_God/Deborah Winger; boloney/Ingrid Bergman_). Should I supply the answers to the leftovers and try some easier ones? ---

God/Deborah Winger - Terms of Endearment? Yeah, give us the answers and ease off a _bit_. And don’t forget about Deborah Kerr. ---

Nope, that’s the only Deborah Kerr movie I know of in which she teaches a bunch of kids to sing. I just scanned her list at IMDB, and nothing else rings a bell. ---
