I saw \*Movie, Movie \* several years ago because Barry Bostwick is soooo dreamy. 😛 Also, it’s a fun little movie. Hooray for the musical-slash-boxing movie genre! ---

I’m stepping in to make an adjudication. _Movie, Movie_ was played twice (it looks as if it was inadvertent). Original play was in response to Harry Hamlin in _Clash of the Titans_. **Maureen** posted George Burns. So the current play is George Burns. I have a nice play off that doesn’t involve any John Denver related movies, but will defer to a post from the crowd. ---
