On The Day The Earth Stood Still thread Bruce just said: "There will be one more soundtrack announcement and with it there may or may not be a musical theater-related announcement. So, here's an opening clew: A beloved film, but not from the Golden Age" I certainly haven't got a clew as to what it/they might be?

As I am apparently one of the few holdouts mourning as proper use of the English language fades further into abuse and oblivion, I can't stop myself from mentioning that "clue" is misspelled above. Yes, it makes me a stick in the mud, but I happen to love the written word and abhor its steady decline.

If "clew" was good enough for Dame Agatha Christie and Edgar Allen Poe and many Brits, it's good enough for this board. It is obviously a variant spelling NOW, but was the most used spelling up until about 1940, and that includes American newspapers prior to that. I began using it here because of my love of Dame Agatha and it has caught on quite splendidly.

(2.1) Degree at the College founded by Cardinal John Henry Newman in Dublin in 1854, attended among others by James Joyce, in which a large portion of that said Degree contained studies in Old and Middle English I am quite content to follow in your footsteps Bruce, so please lead on! Lord save us fom the clueless indeed!

My Bodyguard is a grail for me as well. Hopefully the missing tapes will be located someday.
