OK - hope this challenges y'all out there... trivia regarding our Miss Rogers!
The answers to these are posted WAY below the 'movie list' on the right-hand side of the blog...now, y'all COULD 'Google' or 'Wiki' (if allowed in your area), but what is the challenge in THAT, I ask you?
Hope this will be an enriching experience for all...and please, if any discrepancies arise, feel free to comment - as a lot of these are derived from various and sundry locations on the world-wide web, thus open for review...
Good Luck! JW

I got 7/10... slightly ashamed as I boobed on q. 2.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea on 6 and went withe Tales of Manhattan on 7 so just missed by one :(
I assumed posting attempted annswers would defeat the object!

Well, I thought of different ways to do the Q/A thing... thought there would be a 'Gadget' to do it, but did not find one...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, hopefully this arrangement works ok, and hopefully folks will run thru it prior to checking out the comments.
It is kind of interesting that there are somewhat major discepancies as to Ginger's movie list, between her book and TCM, which I figured would be the 'top two' as far as accuracy goes... for example, 'Rafter Romance' is noted as being in 1934 from Ginger's book, but TCM places it squarely in 1933, which, if true, makes TEN films for VKM in '33!!! See, that's why we are here...to find the TRUTH!!! it's out there....somewhere. My gut says 'go with Ginger's book', but then again, those cats at TCM are pretty sharp...
Anyway, hope these were challenging - some may have been a bit too much, but if it was easy, anyone could do it!
