Presidents' Day trivia

[KC]

You don't see him, or hear his name... but you know he's there....  Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Nope, the film wasn't set when he was in office either.

So ... was it set BEFORE he took office? Because he died in office, of course ...  

[Dannyman]

Maybe it was a bad idea to let Matt go ahead.
JK Matt

KC, do you think it couldv'e been set before his office terms. I'm sure before that he wasn't really publicly known or famous.

[Matt]

No, it was set after he died.

I'm heading out for the night, so I'll see if I can give a clue that will lead to the answer and move this thread along...  his image is on a prop that would be visible to you if you held the prop, but the audience can't see the image, only the prop. But the prop is part of the storyline, so it's not too far out there.

[KC]

I got it, Matt!


It's the image of FDR on the DIME that Miss Lilly (in Bronco Billy) wants so she can call her stepmother back in good old New York!

[Matt]

I was waiting up for you.... I knew you'd get it!

I guess that was a bit unusual for this thread, but it works... and it had you scratching your heads all night. That's hard to do to KC in trivia.  

You're up, KC!

[Dannyman]

I was waiting up for you.... I knew you'd get it!

What are you trying to say Matt? That I had no hope

Good job KC

[Matt]

No, just that KC knows that I do Bronco Billy trivia about as often as she does Unforgiven trivia. That made it a little easier on her.  

[KC]

OK, while we're on FDR ... name the three Eastwood films that are set during his administration. That should be easier than yours, Matt!  

[Dannyman]

City Heat, Where Eagles Dare and not sure.................maybe Kelly's Heroes

[KC]

Yes to Where Eagles Dare and Kelly's Heroes ... both of Eastwood's World War II-themed movies take place during Roosevelt's administration.

As for City Heat, it squeaks in under the wire ... it's set in 1933 (the first year of FDR's administration), according to the press kit ... but plainly before the end of Prohibition, on December 5, 1933.

However, I had another picture in mind ... one set more squarely, and more obviously, in the Great Depression of the thirties. Anyone?

honkytonk man

[KC]

That's right, Vik!

I guess either you or Dannyman is entitled to post another one.

[vik]

go dannyman u got most right

[Dannyman]

Thanks Vik
Heres the next president:
 .......................you got anything in mind Vik?

[KC]

Aw, cmon, Dannyman, you can think of another president! Why not look here for some inspiration ...

[Dannyman]

Easy, who's the president in the background.

[KC]

The guy in the painting, Dannyman?


I cannot tell a lie ... I think it's George Washington!  

[Dannyman]

Actually I was reffering to the balding gentlemen

Just kididng, you got it KC, George Washington...........what a tough one

Whoa, I just noticed my wonderful job on resizing the DVD capture ......it looks all distorted

[KC]

Not distorted ... just a little "pixelated." Your original cap must have been too small to stand up to that kind of enlargement. Mine was over 800 pixels (full width of the image) before I selected that detail, then enlarged it slightly.

Let's see ... a new president. How about another easy one ... not mentioned in the dialogue, but his name is seen onscreen:



James A. Garfield

[Dannyman]

Isn't that James Garfield KC?
