Car and Starlet #1 - Sylvia Sidney & 1963 Imperial LeBaron in 'Pals'

Otto Puzzell · January 02, 2012, 05:30:20 AM

Along the lines of my "Cars and Dolls" puzzles, but easier. In this puzzle, the occupation of the doll is known. It's a matter of sleuthing the movie and the car I'm looking for. In this movie, the car in question had role as prominent, or perhaps even more prominent, that the actress', at least in one key sequence.

Warning - the film is no classic, so start with lesser films. The actress is well known, as are her two primary co-stars.

For 1 point, ID the starlet pictured, her 4-wheeled co-star, and the name of the motion picture in which they appeared together.

A nice, clear picture, lots of clues already - this should be easy. Don't let me down, Rookies! However: be sure to answer all parts of the question, if you'd like the point. Only complete answers will earn a point

Was her co-star James Cagney?

Otto Puzzell · January 10, 2012, 03:54:37 AM

No sir. Her costars were born or built in the 20th century; 9 and 28 and 64 years later than Cagney, respectively

Would the car in question have been a Ford product?

Am I understanding correctly that this woman was the lead character and the cars she is involved with are 1908, 1927 and 1963 models?

Otto Puzzell · January 12, 2012, 07:27:27 AM

No

There are two male (human) co-stars; this woman plays the mother of one of those co- stars. The other 'star' is an automobile.

Whew! You had me digging the internet for this one.
Sylvia Sidney may have been a starlet when that picture was taken but she became a vetern actor. She was in a ton of stuff!
Including the 1987 TV Movie "Pals" with Don Ameche and George C. Scott (I will have to find this movie and watch it now).
Her mechanical co-star was a 1963 Imperial LeBaron!

Wow - that's impressive!

Well done.
