Author	Topic: John Winfrey, Where Are You?

Graham Watt Standard Userer	In the absense of Mr W, I'll put a trivia question up. Why would it have been ironic if Oliver Reed had played the main character (not the cat) in a remake of Cat People (not the existing pop video remake with Nats Kinky)? Eh? Eh?

PeterD Standard Userer	Well, maybe because he had already turned into a wolf in "Curse of the Werewolf"?

Timmer Standard Userer	Impossible!....it's not full moon yet Hello John...where are you?!

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Nope, not correct chaps! Remember, if Ollie Reed had played the part that Kent Smith played in the old one...

PeterD Standard Userer	Yeah, but if he had the Simone Simon role, my answer would work . . .

Graham Watt Standard Userer	It would indeed Peter, if that were the case. But it's not, so it's not. I'll give you all until tomorrow!

Timmer Standard Userer	Don't know Graham Is this going to be one of those "damn, I knew that all along" type answers?

Graham Watt Standard Userer	So, here's the answer... The character name for the male lead in the movie was........ OLIVER REED!

Timmer Standard Userer	I guess it's been too long since I saw the film Graham as I neither remembered or knew that answer?! How's about another question to keep John's fire burning

Graham Watt Standard Userer	Yeah, that was a bit tricky, Timmer and co. I only knew the answer myself because they mention the character name in a synopsis I read. I don't think it's obvious in the film, as in I don't think the words Oliver and Reed are even mentioned together. Maybe "Hello Ollie" (you're lookin' swell Ollie), or "Good to see you Mr Reed", but nothing like "May I present Oliver Reed?" Let's wait until John W gets back with a decent question!

perfpitch unregistered	The late, greatly-missed Mr. Reed made a 1965 movie called THE BRIGAND OF KANDAHAR. I'd have thought that, given all the activity in that part of the world, SOMEBODY'd have brought it up by now, but I guess it was left up to me...
