Stump the LAMBs Movie Trivia Quiz Answer: James Cagney

Image via Wikipedia

Two people answered the last quiz correctly and our fearless leader Fletch came close with an answer that may or may not be correct. I couldn't find any evidence to support his answer online but that doesn't necessarily mean it isn't true.

Here's the question again:

On April 12 I posed a question about a female hoofer who danced in a back brace. This time I'd like to know the name of the male dancer who broke a rib while filming a dance scene but didn't stop dancing until he knew the scene was in the can.

The answer:

James Cagney was the die-hard dancer who kept on shooting the American flag-waving movie Yankee Doodle Dandy, even though he had a broken rib.

Here are the LAMBs who knew the answer:

Phil Concannon of Phil on Film

Matt Small of screen / slant

Fletch thought the answer was Patrick Swayze. I found information about Patrick Swayze giving up his dance career because of a knee injury but I couldn't find a reference to a broken rib. He might have had one of those, too; it just might not have been covered widely.

Here's the next question:

Name the two post-1980 films that take place at least in part at the same fictional advertising agency.

Please include the following information in your response:

1. Both film names
2. Your name
3. Your blog name
4. Your blog URL
