Name the Movie from the Quote

[Tomas]

I'm guessing a clue is needed.....

 

The cast included actors from USA, Japan, France, England and Italy.

 

This was the director's first film in colour.

That did it. The one film that I can think of with that diverse of a cast was filmed back in the early days of Cinerama sometime in the 60's.  It was a racing film, with not much of a plot.  

 

The film was "Grand Prix".

 

If memory serves, which it frequently doesn't , Cinerama involved using 3 synchronized projectors onto huge curved screen so that it virtually put the audience in the middle of the movie.

 

I do remember the roller coaster ride in "This is Cinerama"

Well done Tomas - you're correct. Technically, although the movie was billed as being in Cinerama, it didn't use the 3 strip process, but was made in Super Panavision 70 which had almost the same aspect ratio as Cinerama (2.76:1) but only required 1 projector. In reality the only commercial movies made using the original 3 strip Cinerama process were "The Wonderful World Of The Brothers Grimm" ans "How The West Was Won". both made in 1962.

 

Your turn again.  

[Tomas]

I do remember that the 70mm process debuted at about that time. Didn't recall that "Grand Prix" was filmed in 70mm, Oh well...

 

For our next round:

 

"I’m afraid we must only do… absurdly… what it has been given to us to do… right to the end."

[Tomas]

A clue maybe?

 

The line was spoken during a reconciliation on a sandy beach in France.

[Tomas]

One more once...

 

The film is about the friendship and conflict of two historical persons and the assassination of one because of a misinterpreted or misunderstood remark by one of the persons. There is no consensus as to the content or context of what was actually said.

The only film that comes to mind with this premise is Becket but I can't recall a reconciliation on a beach in France

Yes the film is 1964's "Becket". Peter O'Toole as Henry II and Richard Burton as Thomas Becket.

 

The reconciliation scene on the beach:  After Becket had been made Archbishop of Canterbury and opposed Henry he had to flee to France where he lived in exile for six years. He and Henry met on horseback on the beach and after some compromises, Henry gives Becket permission to return to England. The move is about 2 1/2 hours long and the scene takes place at about the 2 hour mark. (Times are approximates)

 

Your turn again.

[TLM280249]

And the next line is:-

 

"Those words you said before, say them again."

[Kitt]

Dang - I know its a late 60's horror flick but I am not sure of the title, so a guess?

 

The Devil Rides Out

[Andy78]

Yeah Kitt''s right.  It's one of my favourite films.

 

Spoken by Marie Eaton to the Duc de Richleau (one of Christopher Lee's rare "good guy" roles out of about 300 roles he's had) in reference to the words of the Susama ritual.

The Devil Rides Out

Damn I thought that would be a tricky one. (Note to self - more obscure film next time...)  One of my favourites as well Andy. Your turn Kitt

[Kitt]

hmmm...

 

Let's try

 

"Hey, did you ever try dunking a potato chip in champagne? It's real crazy!"

[Andy78]

I've never seen the film, but this was in a pub quiz a few days ago.

 

The Seven Year Itch.

[Kitt]

Dang - and I thought that was one no one would remember! Your turn Andy.

[Andy78]

Let's try this one.

 

Mother, look! The Prime Minister is naked.

[Slytherin]

Naughty Sheep ! I am shocked!  A fish called Wanda ??

[Andy78]

Nope.

 

Try again Little Blue One.

[TLM280249]

Let's try this one.

 

Mother, look! The Prime Minister is naked.

 

 

I don't know if this line is in the stage production that's just opened here in Brisbane but it's from "The King And I"

[Slytherin]

Let's try this one.

 

Mother, look! The Prime Minister is naked.

ANDY !!!! Are you awake ??

[Kitt]

[Slytherin]

[TLM280249]

Hope he's got enough to share...

[Andy78]

Sorry all, completely forgot about this.

 

Yes, it's The King and I.

 

Said by Louie to his mother Anna when they arrived in Siam, and the Prime Minister's boat was coming to greet them.

[Kitt]

I believe that makes it TLM's turn

[TLM280249]

Okey dokey - try this one:-

 

 

"Did you ever meet anyone before whose life was saved by "Deep Throat"?"
