Now I feel like an idiot. I was trying to come up with a film with an actor connection.
Guess That Movie: Alternate Movie Description Edition!
- Thread starter brians_myth
- Start date
sound like you found the connection! And the title is?
The Goodbye Girl, also by Neil Simon
We have a winner! Yes, the Neil Simon connection. Simon had it really going on in Hollywood, particularly beginning in the late 1960's through the early 1980's
This movie is your standard girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, girl finds out boy is married, girl makes noise complaint against boy, boy falls in love with girl, boy buys out flower shop, girl finds out boy isn't married, big happy ending.
My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
No, you need to go a bit earlier and add some dancing.
sounds kind of Doris Day/Rock Hudsonesque
Earlier
One of the better-known Great Depression escapist screwball comedy dance movies.
Contains what is probably Fred Astaire's most iconic dance number.
Well, practically any Fred and Ginger movie would work with the plot description, they're all pretty similar. But if I had to choose a depression era Astaire movie with an iconic dance number, it would be Top Hat.
Correct
An oft filmed story about a young man from the country going to work in the big city. The first thing he does is pick fights with the very gentleman who will later help him prevent his boss from ever finding out about his boss's wife's infidelity, much to the consternation of the Catholic Church.
Kung Fu
Not Kung Fu. I personally have seen 5 film versions of this (6 if you count a slapstick comedy with the Ritz Brothers).
well, there you go, 7 if you count this!
Jilted spinster uses a pretty young girl to extract her vengeance on men in general, and upon our hero in particular. But his act of kindness to an escaped convict helps him in the end.
