The following are based on Tennessee Williams' plays, but the titles intrigued me so much to watch the film versions first:

- The Glass Menagerie

- A Streetcar Named Desire

Motel Hell

The Hills Have Eyes

if....

R10 marry me. Titles like The Glass Menagerie, Cat On A Hot Tin Room and A Streetcar Named Desire. Williams had a way in some of his titles to link a title to a theme in a unique way.

R95 - Meanwhile, people think GB Shaw's "Arms and the Man" is about fisting.

Imitation of Life

R96 I thought Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was about some guy who lost his arms.

Fancy Pants

The Trip to Bountiful

Children of a Lesser God

Kiss of the Spider Woman

Porky's

The General Died at Dawn

Several of these were book titles so that doesn’t really count.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

I always loved the title for the Bette Davis 1951 movie “Another Man’s Poison”.

Never actually saw it.

[quote] The General Died at Dawn

Kind of gives away the ending, no?

R103 Why don't they count? That's stupid.

The Trip to Bountiful was a play and a TV play, so I guess to R103 it doesn't count.

'$' (1971), with Warren Beatty and Goldie Hawn.

Incidentally, Morgan Fairchild started out in the business as Faye Dunaway's double in 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde."

I wonder if La Dunaway was pleasant to her?

Sorry. Wrong thread.
