Since my retirement I’ve become addicted to watching old black and white movies and TV shows. Say what you want, it takes more than special effects to make a movie or TV worth watching. I’ve been hooked on the old Wyatt Earp shows, Peter Gunn, and The Saint (both movies and TV). It amazes me how well they’ve held up over the decades since their production. Todays quiz involves ten questions about old movies and TV shows. As always the answers will be listed below.

• What famous character actor prepared for a career in psychiatry, studying and working with pioneer psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler, before turning to acting?

• Who wrote the scripts for his own films under pseudonyms that included Otis T. Criblecoblis and Mahatma K. Jeeves?

• Who provided Mickey Mouse’s high-pitched voice in the early Walt Disney film starring the animated mouse?

• Who sung Miss Piggy singing voice in The Muppet Movie?

• Who played Scorpio, the statistic killer, in Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film, Dirty Harry?

• What was Boris Karloff’s real name?
