Call It A Day - Anita Louise - Marie Antoinette (1939)

I saw Anita Louise and thought of Tina Louise.

Marie Antoinette => John Barrymore => Romeo and Juliet (1936)

Funny when I read Anita Louise in your chain my first thought was Tina Louise too. I guess we both watched too much Gilligan's Island.

My choices were to class things up. That's why John Barrymore and that's why a movie based on Shakespeare.

Plus, John Barrymore was the one I was referring to in my post because he was also in Twentieth Century. I figured we would get a crossover post sooner or later. It takes a little time to do the research, enter the movie, and then add something for commentary. If someone else is playing at the same time, then the crossover is inevitable.

Romeo and Juliet - Leslie Howard - Pygmalion (1938)

Pygmalion is the play that the musical My Fair Lady is based on. Leslie Howard was also Ashely Wilkes in Gone with the Wind.

Pygmalion => David Tree => Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel (1937)

I had a feeling the next person was going to choose Leslie Howard, but I thought it might lead to Gone with the Wind.

Steve I must have been psychic or maybe I just picked up the cues from your post. It wasn't conscious though.

I thought the name David Tree was simple yet interesting and I left a famous name for the next person in line, though I think his main claims to fame come after his career in the 30s.

Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel - James Mason - Prison Breaker (1936)

This movie has an actor with the same name as the James Bond creator. It's not the same guy, but I thought it was very interesting, and the actor by that name has a lot of 30's flicks.

Prison Breaker - Ian Fleming - The Lion Has Wings (1939)

With a name like Ian Fleming, how could I resist picking him? Apparently The Lion Has Wings was the first movie to be completed after the start of the World War II. There's one pretty famous name in it.

The Lion Has Wings => Merle Oberon => Wuthering Heights (1939)

Wild how we got James Bond into a 30s movie game, even if the connection wasn't quite real.

Lots of big names to choose from in Wuthering Heights.

Wuthering Heights - Laurence Olivier - Perfect Understanding (1933)

Laurence Olivier was married to Vivien Leigh for a while. She, apparently, was pretty nutty.

Perfect Understanding - Gloria Swanson - Tonight or Never (1931)

This one has a famous horror actor that I don't think we've used here yet. I know we used him on the previous game, but sometimes I have trouble keeping track of which ones we have and haven't used here because we used so many there.
