13/13. So many great stars in that movie.

I got them all but I doubt anyone under 50 could name all of these. Gen X was the last generation to grow up with a huge helping of old movie stars rerun over and over on TV.
I got 10/13. I missed 10, 11, and 13. I'm not quite 50, so I'm not quite old enough to remember Buster Keaton or William Demarest, and I'm used to thinking of Carl Reiner as older, so I didn't recognize him in his younger days.

I got them all correct and I'm early 20's. 😌

12/12; missed #5. Doesn't look like jerry lewis.
That's DEFINITELY Jerry Lewis, Lyn.
There was a "fad" of big CinemaScope pictures with a Cast of 100s stars. Among them...
Around the World in 80Days ( David Niven, Shirley MacLaine)
How the West was Won ( Debbie Reynolds, Glen Ford)
The Great Race (Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis)
Around the World in 80Days ( David Niven, Shirley MacLaine)
How the West was Won ( Debbie Reynolds, Glen Ford)
The Great Race (Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis)
You forgot to mention Some Like It Hot(1959; Jack Lemmon, Tony Curtis, Marilyn Monroe).
Yes to Around the World in 80 Days and How the West was Won (although Glenn Ford wasn't in it) for having large celebrity casts, but The Great Race did not have a large cast (not big stars, anyhow).

#11 - Buster Keaton.
"This classic comedy star had a line, which was weird because most moviegoers had probably never heard him speak in a film."
Nonsense. Keaton was in dozens of talkies and was constantly on TV in the 50s & early 60s.

13/13; fairly easy quiz for me - I knew most and got the others I was not sure on by process of elimination.
Piece of cake. 13/13
13/13. I have seen the movie a couple of times but probably could have aced the quiz without having watched it.
12/13. This was easy. Just goofed on one of them.
Got All, easy to do as I saw when new before the butchery started! & in the original proper Widescreen aspect ratio which is the only way to see it! & On a really big single Movie Screen! This actually was filmed in Spring '62 into fall of 1962! Which makes it more impressive etc! Actually really started in 1961 with all preliminaries that go into making such a large movie as they could do then! I didn't like the later and still shown edited butchered version they show as I remember loving the 3 Stooges driving the long Hook & Ladder to the Rescue! Among other scenes cut-out from original etc! but there are a few somewhat restored versions which I haven't seen yet! As they did butcher quite a lot! A Truly Funny early 1960's movie when seen in all its original filmed minutes!
