    I like my old movies and there is one I'd love to see again but I don't know the title
    Its about a brother and sister (late teens early 20s) and there Dad was in Vaudeville
    They see him mope about and want him to be able to go back to the business, so they train
    and rehearse each day in the garage to entice him back into show business
    That's it - all I can remember. Any ideas on this movie ?

    Sorry, have no idea and I even tried to google it but didn't come up with anything that sounded like what you remembered.

    Can you give us a ballpark about when it was out Patsy. Is it black and white? I would imagine so. Is it very, very old or just moderately old? You should be able to tell by the clothing, cars etc. approximately what era it was. That would narrow it down a bit. I might look for it online. This is the way that you can find the information you need on the movie. I would be glad to look it up if I could get a little more info.:)

    Is the movie one with Bob Hope? Is there any actors or actresses that stand out? Or was it Cagny?

    I think that I might have seen that movie that you were talking about , @Patsy Faye . The one that I am thinking of is not a really old movie, and I remember the teenagers practicing out in the big old barn. There was a girl that was almost some kind of a contortionist.
    They actually did end up performing at the end, but I can't remember any of the people that starred in that movie.
    Does that sound like it might be the same one that you are thinking about ?
    I will ask Bobby. He just loves those kinds of movies, and he might remember it. He is the one who was watching it, but I remember seeing it, and the acrobatics out in the barn.

    I remember seeing a contortionist also but on a video someone posted on a forum.

    @K E Gordon - I know its a long shot, just hoping someone had seen it and remembers the movie
    It was 1940s I reckon, Fabs thought the son may have been Dan Daily but I'm not sure
    You always think these films will be around forever, but sadly they have dwindled over here considerably :(
    Thank you Karen for giving it some thought :)

    @Yvonne Smith - I thought it may have rung a bell with you Yvonne :)
    Thinking more on it - the film was in colour, so late 40's early 50s .......................
    If only I could recall the brother or sister that would be a big help

    Checked this movie a couple of years back and googled today - no good
    so thank you all :)

    I've also been trying to find a Cloris Leachman film - She and her husband drive into this little town
    he gets out to go to a store (its night time) and doesn't come back. The people are hostile as she searches for him
    Never could find this movie ! Bizarre :confused:

    have to lie down for a while
