 Movie (and TV) Trivia for Union Suits Fans:

All right, give it your best shot and come up with the answers to the following characters in their long underwear:

(Comments and Answers in blue added May 1, 2022: Super good job playing trivia. Thanks to all who sent in comments and emails... There are still two unanswered trivia photos for you to contemplate... Chris

What movie does this poster represent? Name the actor and the character he portrayed. Bonus: name the actress(es) featured in this film. 1970's Dirty Dingus McGee, played by Frank Sinatra. Actresses featured included Anne Jackson, Lois Nettleton, Michele Carey. Sinatra spent much of the movie cavorting in his long red union suit, even sharing a bed (mistakenly) with George Kennedy!



In which movie (and version) were these guys featured and later three stripped to their union suits? 
Bonus: name the four actors and their characters.
Ghost Busters II (1989)
 

Bill Murray (Peter Venkman, dressed)  
Men in Union Suits (l to r):
Ernie Hudson (Winston Zeddemore in red underwear), 
Dan Aykroyd (Raymond Stantz), Harold Ranis (Egon Spengler)

These kids appeared in their underwear, why? And, in which movie did they appear: They were getting ready to take their baths in Mary Poppins Remake





Who is this actor (Hint: he is a "python")?  In which movie was he reduced to his union suit 
holding a soccer ball ("football" in Great Britain)? 
Bonus: Why was he wearing an English Bobby's hat and boots?

My pal, Lee, emails to tell us, the man below is John Cleese who plays Benny Hill (Monty Python). This shot was taken from a 1990's HBO show in which Cleese did a show about guys in their long Johns. Thanks, Lee. 
If anyone knows or can find the special on HBO, 
let me know... Chris


In what movie are these scenes taken? (Hint: these also appeared in a Toyota commercial a couple years back). Bonus: who's the boy in his union suit?  ???
 


Name these actors and their movie: 

Answer: Buddy Ebsen in Mail Order Bride...



Who is this cartoon character? He appeared in what Saturday morning cartoon show? What year(s) was the cartoon popular? 
Zilly in Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines 1969











Who's the kid? What part did he play? And, what popular TV show did he appear and with whom? 

Mark McCain played by a young Johnny Crawford in the Rifleman

    1. GhostBusters II, in fact. Murray kept his clothes on. The other three stripped off their "buster" uniforms down to their union suits after being slimed. Good to hear from you, Sam.... Chris

  4. The poster (#1) is from a Frank Sinatra movie, Dirty Dingus McGee. The next two are from GHOSTBUSTERS II. The last is The Rifelman's son but the others are a real stumper. I think (note, "THINK") the one of the man in the red union suit and wearing a Stetson certainly looks like Buddy Ebsen (no stranger to a union suit) but for the life of me, I don't know who the other actor is/ the name of the movie.

    1. I also thought the guy in the red union suit and Stetson was Buddy Ebsen and the other guy with him looks very familiar but I can’t think of his name.

    2. sam from upper lower Michigan, that is Buddy Ebsen in the "Mail Order Bride" 1964. That is another movie I have never seen. Keir Dellea I would guess is the other man in picture.

    3. You almost got it, Sam. The other, younger guy was Keir Dullea.

    4. Good job, Macheath. I'll have more answers soon, but there are a couple that I included in which I have no idea as to who they are. So, was hoping you and others could nail down these entries The Monty Pylon man and the boy in his union suit on horseback and family. Keep searching.. Chris

  5. The Cartoon Character in the tree and escaping the alligator in his union suit is from a cartoon I watched as a boy in the 1960's: his name was Ziggy or something like that and was a sidekick of Dick Dastardly in the Saturday morning show, "Dastardly and Muttley." He was a nervous pilot and was always ditching his flight suit and boots by jumping out or sneaking off in his long underwear...Rob / St. Joe Missouri
