Within the past 50 years I made my first debut And made a lot of money by the time that I was through. Long lines of patrons waited for the opportunity To sit back in theaters, being entertained by me. I was my star's first starring role but he did very well And so did all the others, for as much as I could tell. Ten Oscar nominations were awarded to my name With seven producing statues, greatly adding to my fame. I ran for more than three hours and, though it may seem absurd, In all that time no female voice had spoken any word. An Oscar-winning movie with no woman as a star.. Perhaps that is the reason why I was so popular!!!  Who am I? |

Michael, the only movie I can think of that ran for 3 hours probably was "The Ten Commandments" or "The Robe". Charlton Heston was in "The Ten Commandments", but I don't think it was his first starring role, though, so apparently that's not it. "Love makes the world go around" |

Off the cuff and in the throes of rolling rock beer I'd say The Duke, the movie? Alamo? Allowed a second guess William Holden in Stalag 17, a third, the Great Escape Steve McQueen. Elsewise I give up. |

Ok, you guys gave it a good shot. It was Lawrence of Arabia, Peter O'Toole's first starring role. It is the only movie since the talkies began in which no female had a speaking part......with one exception. ANybody know the exception?  |

Sue Lyon As Lolita? But I guess it would be Shelly Winters in the lead right? [This message has been edited by Mysteria (01-09-2003 01:17 AM).] |

After my goof's on the other title, I'm not EVEN gonna guess this one.......HeeHee!!  I like some of the title's Toe came up with. If some of those Hollywood types see them, they'll be making a movie with those titles, I'm sure.......  "Love makes the world go around" |
