[Dargo2]

You're kidding, right?

Ah, no I'm not. I can readily think of three movies in which the plot involves the inner workings of a car company.

And so laffite, if you can't, then maybe leave this one for another.

(...tell ya what though...IF no one other offers up a reply within a day from now, I'll change to something else, okay?!...but here's a hint to one of 'em I'm thinking of here...it starred Clifton Webb and among a number of big names of the time)

[Swithin]

Ferrari (2023)

Next: Taking advantage of the gullible

[Dargo2]

'The Music Man'

Next: a Mexican pueblo

[KayFrancis]

Blue Thunder (Malcolm McDowell)

Next: inner workings and/or office politics of a car company

I think lafitte is thinking about
Woman's World. it's a Fox film, starring Clifton Webb, Van Heflin, June Allyson, Fred MacMurray Lauren Bacall and Rhonda Fleming. TCM will show it next Monday. It s a good film. I would have answered this obvious answer if I had been on the bds.
You guys dont know your Fox . Films LOL

[Swithin]

'The Music Man'

Viva Villa

Next: Pudding

[Dargo2]

Well, actually Kay, 'Woman's World' -- a film I did indeed know the title of -- was indeed the movie I attempted to give laffite the hint about and as just one of movies that came to my mind when I entered that next of mine up there. One of the things I tend to remember about it especially is the tour of the future car styling studios that Webb takes his group of possible executive replacements on during one particular scene. I always really wanted to be a car stylist/designer and not an airline employee, ya know...but maybe you didn't.

(...and coincidentally, the answer that Swithin gave for it of 'Ferrari' was another one I was thinking of as well)

And now Swithin's next here is "pudding".

[KayFrancis]

Dargo, then why didnt you answer it lol. Instead of the crack about are you kidding? You're not the only one around here that can make a know it all crack in good humor lol

Next :Pudding

Dinner For Schmucks

Next : a pre 1960 film has a Dear John letter scene

Dinner For Schmucks

Next : a pre 1960 film has a Dear John letter scene

I believe there's a scene in the film 'The Story of G.I. Joe' (1945) in which one of the soldiers gets a Dear John letter.

And btw Kay...while I know you're also pretty good at that whole crackin' wise thing on occasion as well, AND while I also know I should probably just let this whole thing die as well, I'm gotta say I'm still a little confused here! And so, why didn't I answer WHAT??? OH wait! Are you still on that whole 'Showgirls' thing here?

Next: sailing off into the sunset
