Errol Flynn moustache or Boston Blackie moustache?

Flynn (for two reasons, one, the mustache is less defining on his face and, two, the answer is almost always Flynn when he's one of the choices).

One role two actors:

Jimmy Stewart in "The Philadelphia Story" or Frank Sinatra in "High Society" both as the reporter Mac/Mike Connor?

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Sinatra

Al Bowlly or Joey Nash?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Nash. A drinking buddy of Fats Waller with a lot of great stories to tell.

Kay Weber or Helen Ward?

 

[1mach1]

Weber.

Jazz or Orchestra?

Orchestra

Lili Marlene
Mimi Thoma or Lale Andersen?

 

[vitanola]

Andersen. The touch of the Berlinisch dialect which she affects adds much to the effectiveness of her performance.


Lux or Rinso?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Rinso. It's anti-sneeze.

Bon Ami or Bab-O?

 

[Fading Fast]

Bon Ami - used it since I was a kid (and still do) - it's really good - plus it has the cute baby chick on the label.

Cary Grant paired with Katherine Hepburn or Jean Arthur?

Jean Arthur.
Clarinet or brass?

 

[LizzieMaine]

Clarinet, but I'm biased -- I used to play it.

Joe Marsala or Mezz Mezzrow?

 

[vitanola]

Marshals, a good hard working musician. "The Muggles King" made more interesting records, though. He was somehow able to attract amazing top talent to his jam sessions.


Manning Bowman or Morris Struhl?

Manning Bowman or Morris Struhl?

Manning Bowman. But I must admit a bias here. My grandparents home had many Manning Bowman items that I remember fondly.

Citizen Kane or High Noon?

Citizen Kane or High Noon?

Tough one. The easy answer is CK as it is such a defining classic - a big, bombastic thing that just keeps coming at you, but HN is one of those "quiet" movies whose brilliance is in its "smallness."

Despite wanting to say HN, if I'm honest with myself, CK - which really did so much first and somehow made it all work - is the movie I watch more often.

For a variation on the theme:

Orson Welles or Gary Cooper?

Hmm. Comparing apples and potatoes.
I'm going with Cooper. I like Orson Welles, but that bombastic thing tires me out. Besides, I have to hate him a little because he was married to Rita and I never got the chance to be.

Boy Wonder Orson Welles, or Fat Bearded Self Parody Orson Welles?

Good point. Love him or hate him he will sell no wine before its time.

I've listened to quite a few of Orson's Lear radio shows. His commentary was sometimes very good and sometimes I wondered what he had taken shortly before he sat down at the microphone.
