John at Hitchcock's World successfully linked Lindsay Lohan to Sidney Poitier, and has passed it to me to link Sidney Poitier to Groucho Marx. This is going to difficult as I really don't know Groucho Marx well at all, but let's give this a go!
1 - Sidney Poitier starred in Shoot to Kill (1988) alongside Tom Berenger.
2 - Tom Berenger was in Breaking Point (2009), and so was Armand Assante.
3 - Armand Assante had an epic argument in Judge Dredd (1995) with Sylvester Stallone.
4 - Sylvester Stallone was the star of Oscar (1991), which also featured Don Ameche.
5 - Don Ameche and Carmen Miranda were the leads in the musical Greenwich Village (1944).
6 - Finally, Carmen Miranda featured in Copacabana (1947), and the lead actor just happened to be the one and only Groucho Marx.
Phew! I can't believe I actually did it! That was a real challenge, I actually found it easier to work backwards so there's a hint for anyone still trying to complete their challenge.
As per the rules, I now need to nominate another blogger and pass on a challenge to them, starting with my ending point. So, Brittani at Rambling Film, I choose you! Your challenge is to link Groucho Marx to Leonardo DiCaprio. Good luck!
Great job. I was curious how this one was going to play out.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) I was really sturggling at one point, but after several IMDB searches I finally found the missing link!

Oh wow, that was a pretty good job. I didn't know Groucho did any non-Marx Brothers work outside of You Bet Your Life.
ReplyDeleteI found that sort of technique was very helpful. The tactic I used was sort of to go both ways until I found something. It took a little while and I had a few possible routes, then I saw James Coburn's name after one possible route from Lindsay Lohan led to The Great Escape, and then I remembered Rod Steiger popped up in one of the Sidney Poitier films I'd found.
I'll tell you that was a tough one :) It was great fun though and I learnt a lot about an actor I'd actually never heard of!
DeleteI really was struggling at one point but something just sort of clicked into place after many a search!

Awesome job girls! I just find it fascinating how all these faces are connected in one way or another.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's actually really amazing isn't it? When I first read the challenge I'd been given I thought there would be no chance to make it work.
