Westgrand, Fred Zinnemann also directed "A Man For All Seasons" that won best picture in 1966. Great movie!!!
Yes Moe, he certainly did. And it certainly is.
That, and 'High Noon', 'The Day Of The Jackal', 'Oklahoma'.....what talent :)

But Arr&bee, you haven't mentioned the part you have in mind for Ms Moe [Superstar]....
It might not make the slightest difference, of course.....
But if it's to be a disaster movie, she will need time to fully rehearse. Not one of her movies has been even remotely regarded as a disaster......unlike all of yours...:)

Bobby Vee [Robert Thomas Velline; 1943-2016; pop, rock and roll and soft rock singer, songwriter and musician; 'Rubber Ball'; 'Take Goodbye Of My Baby; 'Run To Him'; 'The Night Has A Thousand Eyes'] -
Ironic about Bobby Vee, Westgrand. He was going to be the headliner for a Dick Clark tour on November 22, 1963........in Dallas. Needless to say it was cancelled due to the assassination of President Kennedy.
Eve Arden......played with The Marx Brothers, as well as an Oscar nomination for her role in Mildred Pierce.
But I loved her for her role in "Grease" as the principal.
R&B, My sister & her girlfriend were obsessed with him.
Moe, the Bobby Vee Singles Album of 1980 was certified gold here in the UK......
And as late as 2008, The Very Best Of Bobby Vee album was certified silver......so your sister and her girlfriend were clearly not alone in their appreciation of him.:)
