The Movie-TV Connection Game (April 2016)

What do Redford and Milland have in common?
'Tis spring and time to find connections! For those new to this game, you will be given a pair or trio of films or performers. Your task is to find the common connection. It could be anything--two stars who acted in the same movie, two movies that share a common theme, etc. As always, don't answer all the questions so others can play, too. There is a single best answer for each question.

1. Dean Martin, Robert Culp, and Marcello Mastroianni.

2. Planet of the Apes (1968) and the TV series The Loner.

3. Creature from the Black Lagoon and Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder.

4. Burt Reynolds and Christopher George.

5. Charlton Heston and Tony Curtis.

6. Carol Lynley and Mia Farrow.

7. Michel Redgrave and Anthony Hopkins.

8. Ray Milland and Robert Redford.

9. John Cleese and Kirk Douglas.

10. Citizen Kane and This Gun for Hire.

11. Psycho (1960) and the original Outer Limits.

12. Ingmar Bergman's The Virgin Spring and Wes Craven's The Last House on the Left.

13. Alien and The Sound of Music.

14. The original Day of the Triffids and singer Mel Torme.

15. Sylvester Stallone and Errol Flynn (and it's not boxing movies).

    1. Well done with both answers, Toto! I hadn't thought of Sly playing an archer, but he did indeed use a bow as Rambo. He and Flynn also wrote screenplays for movies they starred in.
