OK - I'm betting the 3rd is the charm

When the drill comes out
The white angel wants to know
Is it safe to go

OK - I think this is an interesting game & wouldn't mind seeing it continue its run......so in the interest of moving it along & considering the 3 haiku's above all about the same movie didn't get it done.....might as well do something that is similar to what I saw aaronk56 do when nobody answered his two haiku's about the movie Absence of Malice.

OK - the movie starred Dustin Hoffman, Laurence Olivier, Roy Scheider, & Marthe Keller. The title of the movie is two words. The first word is the one used to describe a running event that has an official distance of 26 miles & 385 yards.

The 2nd word is the word missing from the following song titles.

Nowhere _ _ _.
Old _ _ _ River.
Simple _ _ _.
Stand By Your _ _ _.
When A _ _ _ Loves A Woman.

So put the 1st word 1st & the 2nd word 2nd & BINGO.....u have the movie title.

Actually, I had my T.V. on in the background & they were showing that movie when I came to the 2+2 site. I doubt too many folks here have seen it, but IMHO it is a Movie Classic.

There is a bunch of interesting "trivia" about it at the IMDb if anybody has any desire to read it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043014/...f_=tt_ql_trv_1

Here is 1 of the trivia remarks about the film which is one of the longer ones.

In "On Sunset Boulevard: The Life and Times of Billy Wilder", Ed Sikov relates a story about Wilder's explanation of the true meaning of the strange dead chimp scene from the start of the film. Sikov says that during the mid-1990s, both Wilder and former First Lady Nancy Reagan Reagan were at a party for an opening of one of the productions of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical based on the film, when, with Reagan nearby, an older woman approached Wilder with a question about what the chimp scene meant.

Wilder's typically outrageous answer, probably intended to shock the former First Lady as much as to inform the woman of the true meaning of the scene, was, "Don't you understand? Before Joe Gillis came along, Norma Desmond was fu_king the monkey."
