Yes, that's right. It's Moriarty. I also love Sherlock Holmes. My fav Sherlock Holmes movies are the old Basil Rathbones.

Sorry no. WOZ is a tecnicolor movie with b/w footage. This b/w movie has color about midway the movie.

What is the name of the only movie in which Henry Fonda played a killer?

Henry Fonda played a killer in Sergio Leone's ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST (1969?) A good strong cast here - Jason Robards, Charles Bronson, Claudia Cardinale, Woody Strode, Jack Elam.

Fonda plays Frank, a murderous psychopath who savagely murders a family, including a child. A really great movie but probably not as successful as it could have been because no one could see 'good guy' Fonda in this role. I suspect that Charles Bronson who plays the brother of the murdered man would have more acceptable to movie goers as the bad guy.

What is the name of a classic black and white movie that has Technicolor footage in it?

THE WOMEN (1939) Although the movie is black and white the magnificent fashion sequence is in color.

Stars: Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosalind Russell, Joan fontaine, Ruth Hussey, Marjorie Main, more...

This black and white movie is unique in several ways. (1) there are no men here. But you don't miss them because they are the subject of the movie. The movie is adapted from a play by Clare Boothe. (2) Boothe was the editor of Vanity Fair, an award-winning playwright, a prolific author, a foreign and domestic journalist, a Congresswoman from Connecticut and the American Ambassador to Italy.

Although her play was considered daring and risque :devil: she was a widely admired conservative leader. She married Henry R. Luce, the Co-founder of TIME magazine.

Yep! You got it. To Have and Have Not was Lauren Bacalls screen debut. It's hard to believe that she was only 19 years old isn't.

Name the musical comedy that starred singer Bonnie Raitt's father and a famous blond actress as management and labor. Also what is Bonnie's father's first name?

The name of the musical comedy is THE PAJAMA GAME starring Doris Day and John Raitt (Bonnie Raitt's dad)

The premise of the movie is labor (Doris Day) against management (John Raitt) and a disagreement over a 7 1/2 cent raise. Most of the action takes place at the Sleeptite Pajama Factory. Lots of singing, dancing and great fun. If I remember correctly dancer/choreographer Bob Fosse is also in this movie? Watch for his choreographed moves in the musical number "Steam Heat" by Carol Haney.

What is the name of the American comedy that Alfred Hitchcock made?

Alfred Hitchcock made one comedy Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It stars Robert Montgomery and Carole Lombard.

I could not remember if this old black and white comedy was made in 1941 or 1942. It was '42 so I went to Amazon to check it out. I found an old Mr. and Mrs. Smith review that I did earlier.

Carolyn,

You did it. Congratulations.

Yes the Hitchcock movie was Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

But, the B/W movie with technicolor was "The Women". This is such a great movie. I know that you would love it. The color scene is a fashion show. It really is spectacular and fun.

PBS has shown a series of Tony Hillerman TV mystery movies based on his Jim Chee novels. All were very good and I highly recommend watching them. I first met the author, Dick Francis, thru his Mystery Theatre movies on PBS; as well.

I have enjoyed the Hillerman shows as well. PBS continues to have a really great mystery series lineup.

<img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> "The Women" is one of my favorite movies ever. I missed it on Broadway but did I saw the PBS special and enjoyed it very much.

I am a fan of Tony Hillerman. Great reading. I know that there have been movies on PBS but I always miss them. I may have to search out the DVD's.

I missed the Dick Frances movies whose novels I love. Was fortunate to see Hostage. I agree with Vannie's view on the character's tears. You understand his fears and desperation. Keep up the great reviews.

I am Dick Frances fan also. You have to love words to be a Frances fan, don't you think?

Thanks for the thumbs up on my Hostage review. It's interesting most of my conversations about this movie have been with women and they are the ones who thought that it was unmanly to cry.
