Can anyone name at least two movies where four recipients are in the credits?

I also think that some may have been offered the honor, but declined. Katharine Hepburn for sure, and perhaps Paul Newman, Marlon Brando, Woody Allen and Doris Day.

May your New Year dreams come true And this song of mine In three quarter time Wishes you and yours The same thing too They even named the episode after this song, and using Doris Day's 60s version on the jukebox was perfect. The Christmas Waltz also played over the end credits with a different voca...

One of the other cultural touchstones of the week was a throwaway line. When Pete asked Roger where he got the ski equipment, Roger replied "Alen Funt brought it." Funt, or course was the creator and host of Candid Camera, a pretty popular show in the 60s. For some reason I really thought ...

Wow, Tee, I didn't think anyone would have remembered "The Sadness of a Happy Time" That particular episode from the excellent Run for Your LIfe series aired soon after I had moved from NY to Miami. Just turning 18, I flew back to NYC every chance I got. Needless to say, I was feeling disa...

I thought it was clever that they cut away from Don's fever dream for a few other scenes, then came back to it. It made me question whether it really was a dream; at least until it became obvious. Well done.

Whether or not they were still members, I do not know. Arthur Knight: Saturday Review Thomas Meehan: Saturday Review ...

I don't think that the NSFC published their film books after the 73-4 edition, which is unfortunate. I only have two of the books and refer to them frequently. I found their six editions, 68 through 73 on line at Alibris Used Books.

Yeah Tee, Nicholson won the award in 74 for both The Last Detail and Chinatown. Fredric March finished third in their Supporting Actor vote and as far as Lemmon, he actually got two points from Judith Crist and one point from Molly Haskell. As a point of interest, the critics voting that year were: ...
