The Silver Screen Oasis

Wow, had no idea that there was a earlier-era "Harrison Ford".

(...wonder how many people also don't?)

I'm bumping my answer up since it's on the previous page so Coffeedan can see the answer. We'll give him till tomw, then I'll post the next one so the thread isn't tied up.

Correct on both counts! I saw THE NERVOUS WRECK at Cinevent a few years ago. It's a pretty funny film in its own right.

Didn't know about UP IN ARMS, though. I'll have to take a closer look at that.

Sorry about the delay in responding -- I was getting my computer serviced today. Carry on!

Thanks.

Yes, it's Baby Face. Love this film and Barbara Stanwyck's performance was terrific . One of my very favorite pre-codes. So happy you know the film, every classic film lover should know this one. Your turn Swithin

Quoting myself -- I don't understand the Gummo interruption, EP, much as I love that film. My clue is above, here it is again:

Professor is addressing an outdoor gathering at his university. He embraces a woman, who mentions her underwear.

Hint: A duck plays an important role in the film.

That's right ziggy. The clue about the underwear refers to Madame Goteborg, who utters the last line of the film (apart from the song): "I warn you, I'm wearing stays again!"
