Last week's last Movie Quiz winners

The movie was George Pal's 7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964), starring Tony Randall in all seven roles. Based on a wonderful book by Charles Finney and adapted by Twilight Zone writer Charles Beaumont, it featured a large cast of American TV and film's best character actors (Arthur O'Connell, Noah Beery Jr., John Qualen, Royal Dano, and many more) in one of the best genuine fantasy films this country's ever produced. I loved it when I first saw it at the age of 10, and have seen it countless times since, many of them with my two daughters as they grew. I never get tired of it, and if Tony Randall's long, multi-faceted career had to be reduced to one best moment, I think this would have been it.

So congratulations to Wayne Palmer, E. Yarber, Denny Lynch and Michael Kelly for recognizing the three faces of Tony shown in last week's picture clue.

And since this is the last quiz, let us not gloss over the quiz achievements of Wayne and E., who have been playing along since Quiz #4! And out of 115 quizzes, Mr. Yarber has only missed a small handful, and Mr. Palmer has gotten all but one! (Our third regular winner, Hank Parmer, was on vacation, or he would have been here this week, too.) There were many weeks when the quiz was so tough, these three know-it-alls were the only ones who got it, and was I ever grateful they did. (A quiz that no one ever gets just plain sucks, don't you agree?) So thanks a million for always being in the week's email, guys-- knowing you three were out there always kept me on my toes, and I appreciated it.
