I've always loved Cary Grant movies. I'm thinking that photo came from Charade...nope, just looked it up, it's North by Northwest. His suit was a little darker in Charade.
I actually ended up shouting "North by Northwest!" at my screen because I knew just who it was and I couldn't summon the name for some reason. I cycled through all the old names...Stewart, Cooper, Cagney, Tracy, even though I knew they were wrong. Cary Grant. Gah.
A weird mob of celebrities. Imagine Dwight Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe WW2, President of USA for 8 years and now stuck in with a mob of actors and singers from showbiz except for a man who hits rubber balls about a field and the founder of Communism in China, who could easily link arms with Hitler and Stalin. Is this where the future lies?
"The Hokey Pokey" is a translation of "The Great Leap Forward," originally written to illustrate the principles of dialectical materialism. That is, in fact, what it's all about.
I guessed one of the ones I didn't recognise might well be Lawrence Welk, whose name I only know through Richard Pryor. Unfortunately, I assumed it was spelt Whelk!
Born in the late 70s and got them all (thank you Nick at Nite for Donna Reed!). Does her show come on in syndication any longer? It's sad how few people got her.
