Sorry to be late, dahlings.
I just got out of a story-concept meeting with C.B. DeMille and that wunderkind Thalberg and now my brain is simply buzzing.
---Oops! Wrong century. But I do have a mystery movie in my buzzing brain. Gentlemen (and ladies), start your questions! |

Is it in English?
Any Oscar nominations? If so, any wins?
And how is Mr. DeMille, anyway?

Does the story have significant elements of fantasy?
Is the male lead still alive?
Just in case: Do you think Elvis is dead? |

Well, since that whole adapted from a play bit knocked all of the Elvis films out of the running  I am going to go out on a limb here and guess 1962's The Music Man?

Just in case: Do you think Elvis is dead? Get out! When did he die? First I've heard of this.

Nicely done, Psychovant!
When I saw that I had Mystery Movie #76, I just couldn't resist. One of my very favorite musicals and just great fun to watch.
By the way, when I go to Robert Preston's biography page at IMDb, I get this picture: 
Is there anyone else out there who thinks they might have got the wrong guy? This doesn't look like the Robert Preston I know and love. |

Who the hell is that? This is the Robert Preston I know: 
Might want to clue them in on that one.
