UGH!!!! Die Hard was released in JULY - it is NOT a Christmas movie!!!
6 out of 10.
Loved all the quizzes. Did pretty good on most, 10/10 on a few. Bombed on the one about shows starting in the 80's or 90's.
10/10
Ms. Jameson made a brief appearance in "The Apartment": As Ray Walston's saloon pickup.
7/10
I don't see my score for this one, but I also don't see any pink. I'm guessing that I got a 100.

Some sites have this at 1946 and others 1947. Happens when they are producing and finished near the end of the year and it might not show until the next.
Well, obviously we missed the quiz 🤪 Fell asleep and woke up at 10:17pm. Guess we got too comfy on the couch 🤷♀️😂
MQ 12/17/2021.
Opening starts off with some Christmas Carols sung by a musical group. Jingle Bells first and others following. Movie is a holiday mystery. The odd thing is the way the movie is produced. The first major movie to try such a way of performing that is not of the norm. You'll notice right off and it continues through out. Name of movie is a little bit off from a holiday themed one. It is in the lines of Crime, Film-Noir, Mystery. So let's get on the ball then everyone can watch this. Actors are known in the time period but not so much now. Is it a Merry Christmas story.......Not really but takes place during the holidays and some nice music here and there. Is there a crime..........Yes and you might try and solve it yourself.

Oh goody! I’m gonna play the Looney Tunes on TV for Maggie today 😉👏
It’s a mystery. 🤔
Thanks! I know that movie!📽
I just read your comment to LoveMETV about reading a post. I swear I don’t always get a notification. I’ll be reading a post I was notified about and will notice another post from someone else and it won’t be in notifications. 🤔Really odd.
