I think that’s the best I’ve ever done in bonus.
Ford is not a special favorite and I haven’t seen many of his films so this was hard for me.
Thanks for the splendid contest !

Great game everybody.
I am a Ford fan, which helped.
My previous two cars were actually Ford Focuses, but I've mutinied and bought a Subaru Impreza.
As always, brilliant design and execution of the game by QM. You definitely bring order out of what could be chaos.
Fascinating that the TV version of "Ransom!" was actually more adult than either of the movies.

Another Staggering Staccato performance! Bravo!
Thank you for this wonderful lesson on the career of Glenn Ford, Matt. I know how beloved he is to you so I feel bad admitting how few of his films I've seen. He always seemed like such a fine and decent man and actor. It's hard to believe he was never nominated for an Oscar. I feel the same way about Dana Andrews.
Still waiting for that Don Knotts Game. Next?

The next contest is bound to tie you in Knotts anyway, Jervis!
From the FASTEST GUN to the SHAKIEST GUN.

Staccato should be awarded his own GAZEBO.
Marsha and Julie are two of the FASTEST GUNS ALIVE.
Kijii and Jervis recognize that FATE IS THE HUNTER in a Garth Game.
Linda was there til THE LAST CHALLENGE.
Spider and Taran were there to FOLLOW THE SUN.

It's already starting to take on a new life of its own, Marsha.
You have already cornered the market on the Marjorie Main franchise.
Oh, and make that 23 Paces -- for the Sherlock Holmes thread that will soon be strolling down Baker Street.

As a real-life version of The Man from Colorado..... whose dad was once The Sheepman....... I have to say that we are have The Big Heat today where I live now. In fact, it is SO hot it feels like the Plunder of the Sun, but thanks to A/C I have not been driven into a Rage yet... By the way, does anyone know where I can find a film version of Jack London's The Adventures of Martin Eden?

Good luck finding MARTIN EDEN, Kijii. I managed to obtain a bootleg version about ten years ago that was in terrible shape. Too bad -- Glenn made a credible Jack London protagonist.
He romanced two dolls in that one -- Claire Trevor and Evelyn Keyes. That was three times around with Claire (TEXAS, EDEN, DESPERADOES). He was then in his mid-20s for those trio of movies, and a more mature Claire seemed out of his league.
Now Evelyn -- that's a different story. Even more than Rita (5 films), Keyes was his most frequent co-star (6 films). He and Rita were Columbia's hot couple while he and Evelyn were the studio's cute couple. They were actually siblings in their first -- LADY IN QUESTION (Rita was the eventual love interest), but romantically involved in the remaining five -- EDEN, FLIGHT LIEUTENANT (Pat O'Brien played his dad, and would introduce him to future wife Eleanor Powell), DESPERADOES, MATING OF MILLIE, MR. SOFT TOUCH.
