15. Wessel

Note; I don't think anyone is going to get the Judy Holiday question without looking it up, which I did; I think you have the wrong number of blanks. As an interesting side note, the first film that she appeared in (as an extra) was called "Too Much Johnson". Go figure.

Ah, what I heard in my head seems to be the opening of FOR ME AND MY GAL Sorry gang.

18..Fillmore, in horseshoes, would be a leaner, not the ringer.

19. Streetcar Named Desire
25. Never heard of Leo Child, but Cruise is in the new Reacher/Treacher? movie. And most people who have heard of T/Reacher (I never), are not happy with it.

18..Near victories for a few of you, but it was James Polk.

15..Wessel ( I wonder if it's banned in Germany nowadays,) Credit to zorro.

16..Yes, it is Teddy--Pinot & geordi.

17..Bells Are Ringing--zorro & crown

14..Antarctica--Pinot has it.

19..Streecar Named Desire for that tragic figure. Zorro heads up a quintet of you.

20..Again we have reluctant guessers--1842.

21..Rafts are skin cells which we shed continuously.

22..Mao never acknowledged the failure of switching from individual land ownership to communal. Pinot, geordi, and vtc.

23..Zorro & geordi--Geordi is awarded a A-level for grammar. Pennies From Heaven.

24..France...the city of Amiens, to be precise.

25..The Jack Reacher adventures by Lee Child have been appearing for 15 years or so. None of the stories is titled "Jack Reacher", so maybe the movie is a composite I am an afficianado, and like vtc says, count me among those who would not have chosen Li'l Tom to play this giant of a man who is ex-army MP.

So, it will be an intriguing TV drama, as I join you watching Baylor & Tenn.
