7/12. Great quiz! Frank Sutton is an interesting person.
Was proud to get 12/12. My Uncle knew Frank Sutton, said he was a great guy. So sad he died at such a young age.
And was part of the cast of what Best Picture Oscar Winner?
10/12. It would have been 11 except I forgot the back door pilot. Speaking of which, I'm surprised Sgt. Carter didn't recognize Andy Taylor in "Opie Joins The Marines" since they had already met in "Gomer Joins The Marines," and vice versa...
8|12 I guess I didnt know much about frank sutton!!

Just saw him along with Martin Milner in a movie, "Hurricane", an early 70's disaster movie, he played a man hosting a hurricane party with little regard to safety. Milner was the pilot of an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft!
Sutton did an excellent episode of "Naked City', playing an escaped criminal. MeTV should bring back that series for another late-night run...
Him and Robert Blake played brothers.
