Three LAMBs sent in the same answer for the last question. Unfortunately, even though it was a great guess; it was incorrect. John of flickrater.blogspot.com, Kirby Holt of moviedearest.blogspot.com and Nell Minow of moviemom.com all guessed that I Remember Mama was produced by gossip columnist Louella Parsons' daughter Harriet. They were right; she did produce I Remember Mama. But there wasn't a silent version of that movie, at least not that I've been able to find. It was a good effort by John, Kirby and Nell, though -- and almost correct!Here's the last question again:
Name the Oscar-nominated movie that was produced by the daughter of a gossip columnist and had previously been both a play and a silent film.
The answer:
The Enchanted Cottage, produced by Louella Parson's daughter Harriet Parsons
The Enchanted Cottage is one of my favorite black and white movies. It began its life when the British government asked Sir Arthur Wing Pinero to write a play that would reach out to men wounded in WWI. It was then produced as a silent movie in 1924. Then, in 1945 Harriet Parsons produced the version that starred Dorothy McGuire and Robert Young.
If you haven't seen the movie; I highly recommend it. If the holidays tend to get you down, it will cheer you up. And if you're generally happy around this time of year, it will probably make you even more so.
Here's the next question:
Name the actor/production company owner who was reputedly given his famous nickname by Harry Houdini.
To qualify, your answer must include the following:
1. The person's name
2. Your name
3. Your blog's name
4. Your blog's URL
