The 33 1/3 second mystery #45
 

Group A: Dirty Harry, The Odd Couple, Ghandi, A Streetcar Named Desire, From Russia with Love

Group B: Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Joker is Wild, The Sandpiper, The Lion King, High Noon

The difference?

A - stars still living
B - stars dead

only a guess, since marlo died in the past few days...

don't have a guess, but the stars in Lion King aren't dead....just their careers are

I do have a guess-a long shot-first group, the theme songs were instrumental, the second group, had lyrics?

the first group are all plays
the second group had hit songs come from them

either that or the first ones all had marlon brando in them

C'mon-you folks can do better than that!

One guess is on the right track.

Group A-theme songs were written for the movie
Group B-theme songs were not titled same as the movies or were established songs?

Colder

AARRGGHHH!!! it IS something with the theme songs, right?

Group A- First plays, then movies

Group B- First movies, then plays

Dirty Harry was a play????

Groupe B won oscars for their theme songs, all released and all sung. Group A's instrumentals didn't win???

ng, you're a trip...

Yes, music is key to the answer.

From Dirty Harry - The play:
Methinks I know what wonderment thou hast. Didst six stings of fire escape my hand, or merely five? Falsehood would cross these lips were I to vow with certainty. Speak to me, thou mewling base-court lout! Have ye a lucky feeling?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

2 weeks + since this one has been out-any final guesses before the answer is revealed?

let me know if i was close and ill give it another crack

Yes, but not about Brando.

But in his honor, I'll get in a t-shirt, go into the city, and scream a woman's name until she either appears, or I get locked up.
:suave:

Here is the deal:


Group A: all won or were nominated for awards but Not for songs in their soundtrack... with the exception of From Russia with Love which was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1965 for the song "From Russia with Love" but didn't win

Group B: All of these titles won Oscars for Best Music, Orignial Song

1962 - Breakfast at Tiffany's - "Moon River"
1958 - The Joker is Wild - "All the Way"
1966 - The Sandpiper - "The Shadow of your Smile"
1995 - The Lion King - "Can You Feel the Love Tonight?"
1953 - High Noon - "High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me)"

Congratulations to Charlatan for a very detailed answer!

A fuzzy Brando-faced bunny is yours.

Does it come with a little fuzzy coffin as well?

hahaha that's so wrong....
