Another movie:

"...Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce.

Have a cookie, have a few!

What's the matter, Mr. G?

Have another pot of tea..."

someone's got to be singing that :raz:

Mama Rose (aka Rosalind Russell) is singing that. (Well, actually, she didn't sing it, or all of it. Lisa Kirk dubbed much of it I think.)

Gypsy.

A recap for the afternoon:

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

-Simon_S for solving #68 (Tab and Pepsi Free) as the film "Back to the Future" and for solving "A sushi platter and a Pixie Stix & Captain Crunch sandwich" as the film "The Breakfast Club".

-insomniac for solving #67 ("...Hot sausage and mustard! While we're in the mood -- Cold jelly and custard! Pease pudding and saveloys!...") as the film "Oliver!", for solving "A bottle of Vichy water" as the film "Casablanca" and for figuring out that "How's the fricasse?" "Pretty darn good, ya want some?" was from the film "Fargo".

-racheld for solving "A lobster eaten shell and all" as the film "Splash".

-plattetude correctly guessed that "...Have some fried rice, Mr. Soy Sauce. Have a cookie, have a few! What's the matter, Mr. G? Have another pot of tea..." was from the film "Gypsy".

************

WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION:

-Simon_S has guessed that #65 is "Return of the Jedi".

-johnnyd has guessed that #42 is "How To Steal a Million".

We also know:

#42 is not "Six Degrees of Separation"

#49 is not "Lilies of the Field"

#67 is not "Memoirs of a Geisha"

************

AS YET UNSOLVED AND STILL IN PLAY:

42. A liquor bottle replaces Venus.

NEW CLUE: One of the stars is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar this year. (But for a different movie.)

49. How about "A solitary fried egg, soup with a ham hock"

53. "Turn me over I am done on this side."

55. How current are you in your movies? Movie food = individual chocolate soufflés

61. The following items are on the menu in this movie:

melon with port, herring, snails ala mode Chablis, hare pate, grilled sardines, filet of sole, fried whiting, skate in brown butter, quenelles of pike, truit au bleu, vol au vent, three cups of tea, two with lemon, one with milk, three coffees, one with cognac, a glass of poisoned milk, three glasses of water, champagne, bread, lettuce, whiskey and soda, foie gras, ham, dry martinis, eggs, cheese, roast chicken, port ,omelet with truffles, guinea hen, soup, leg of lamb with beans, American canned beans, and in conclusion, leftover roast meat and a baguette for a late night snack.

65. Live, wriggling reptilian alien looking frogs swallowed whole.

CLUE: the live reptilian alien frogs were served from a glass bowl while a blue dancer danced

66. Pizza with "stinky junk, bits of sweaty sausage, a little tomato, nice, fresh spaghetti, an old cheese rind, lettuce that's good and rotten, one olive..."

67. A cherry snow cone

68. "Who is it?"

"Mr. Pizza."

"Again?"

"Mr. Pizza, sir!...Okay, who had the double cheese sausage and bologna?"

69. Spaghetti carbonara, served in big bowls in bed

70. "A little sprinkle of tapioca in the cherry pie, just like Mama did," just before the cook is coaxed down onto the floor with her husband, with her "Apron up around her ears."

(bonus clue: same movie features a roast chicken dinner used to decorate the dining room walls)

71. Saffodd and Keck

72. A decapitated chopped-liver chicken

73. "Can someone hand me my Evian"

****

NOTE: If you post a movie, please check back to see if the guesses on your movie are correct or not so we can keep the "Still in Play" list accurate.

Also, consider posting more clues if your movie remains unsolved.

a good hamburger with lots of onions, was it in S. Eureka or N. Eureka?

from same movie:

"Here's to Boompah"

and finally same movie

"gum drops, shortcake, sweet stuff jelly roll"

o.k. one more, same movie "Hip! hip!"

I don't know what # this would be but I think it got lost in the mix. I know it was

guessed to be "Caddyshack" but that is not correct. These things are all

from the same movie with a classic star in the lead.

Hey I think I've got the elusive #42:

How To Steal a Million

Good for you, johnnyd! Yes, "42. A liquor bottle replaces Venus. NEW CLUE: One of the stars is nominated for the Best Actor Oscar this year. (But for a different movie.)" --from How To Steal a Million, starring Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole, directed by William Wyler. For some reason, this movie seems to slip thru the cracks when people think of these stars or even this famous director. It's a hilarious film, a classic romantic screwball comedy, and one of my favs. I'm not going to explain the clue. If you see the movie, it's obvious.

Congrats, johnnyd! :smile:

65. Live, wriggling reptilian alien looking frogs swallowed whole.

CLUE: the live reptilian alien frogs were served from a glass bowl while a blue dancer danced

This is a very tentative guess, and it probably isn't right, but I clearly remember a blue dancer on an episode of the original Star Trek. Her name was something like "Veena," IIRC. I can't quite remember the frogs, though. (It's clear what my adolescent priorities were -- I can remember the exotic dancer but not the food. :wink: )

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food."  -George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman, Act 1

 

"Imagine all the food you have eaten in your life and consider that you are simply some of that food, rearranged."  -Max Tegmark, physicist

 

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

 

A king can stand people's fighting, but he can't last long if people start thinking. -Will Rogers, humorist

Thank you for clearing this up. I will add it back into the evening recap. My apologies!
