  • Hi Chester


    Its probably my lack of knowledge on this subject but I was always pretty certain he only wore this type of hat in three movies, can you confirm that there are at least four movies in which he wears this type of hat?


    :agent:


    In a word . . . yes. :wink_smile: All four titles are available (although I can't say with certainty that they are available in all regions).

  • Just wanted to (bump) this back up, since this is the weekend, to give y'all an opportunity to see that we are trying a weekly trivia quiz.and give you a chance to play.

    Thanks for that, I'm pretty sure you have me stumped on this question but I will nevertheless have a stab in the dark.

    Regards

  • I thought I should offer this hint - in one of the four titles, he doesn't wear a coonskin cap throughout the movie, but he is definitely seen in that same movie with a coonskin cap at one point in the movie.

  • Howdy, y'all!


    I apologize for getting back to this a little late. Been dealing with some stuff around home that is rather time-consuming. Anyway, just as a reminder


    Here's the first question -


    John Wayne generally wore a cowboy hat in most of his westerns, but donned a coonskin cap in a number of his films. Name four.


    Four people ventured out on this, and each one got three of the four films, which were


    The Big Trail
    Allegheny Uprising
    The Fighting Kentuckian
    The Alamo


    The Big Trail was the one that no one guessed. Quite frankly, we had to watch it again to confirm that Duke wore a coonskin cap in it, as every picture we found showed him in a regular hat. However, in a flashback scene in the movie, he is indeed wearing a coonskin cap.


    Thanks to Hondo Duke Lane, arthurarnell, wbbison, and Robbie for playing this first game!!


    Now, for the second question -


    In what film did Duke co-star with two single-named actors, in what year did the film's story take place, and where (location) in the movie did he meet his leading lady?


    Don't forget to PM the answer to me by next Sunday morning (I want to give everybody a week to answer; I'll eventually figure out if one day of the week works out better for me than another).


    Have fun!

  • Now, for the second question -

    Here are the answers to last week's question -
    The film was North Alaska.
    His single-named co-stars were teen idol Fabian and French actress Capucine.
    The story takes place in 1900, during the Alaska gold rush.
    He met Michelle/Angel (played by Capucine) in a dance hall/bordello in Seattle.


    Of the three responses, one person got all four parts correct, and that was dukefan1!


    Way to go, Mark!

    I guess I owe you guys an apology. I started this post last Monday, and somehow never hit the "Submit reply" button - got sidetracked somehow.


    Anyway, the answers to the above question are:


    Big Jim McLain (1952)

    Hondo
    (1953)

    Island in the Sky (1953)

    The Sea Chase
    (1955)


    Of the five response received, all five were correct. Congratulations to gt12pak, dukefan1, H.sanada, Jay J. Foraker, and ralphper, and thanks for playing!

    Now, here is this week's question -



    Impressionists invariably use the word "pilgrim" when doing John Wayne. Name two films in which Duke actually calls someone a pilgrim.


    Don't forget to PM the answer to me by next Sunday (I want to give everybody a week to answer; I'll eventually figure out if one day of the week works out better for me than another).

    The answers to the above question are - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and McLintock!
