Okay all you sleuths in SN land.
Re Peter Pan's Captain Hook.
What was the Captain's real name before he had the hook fitted ?

 

[Stephen J. Card]

His name was Captain James Hook... even before the Crocodile bit his hand off!

 

[OLD STRAWBERRY]

But actually He was Mr. Darling the childrens Father.

Completely true. James Cook became James Hook.

And Old Strawberry has this part.

"Darling and Captain Hook share the same voice actor, both voiced by Hans Conried, which follows the theatrical tradition that Captain Hook and George Darling are played by the same actor."

Come on then oilkinger, we’re all on tenterhooks.

 

[Stephen J. Card]

I hope this a clean joke.

 

[John Rogers]

I dont know his real name, however I do know he got his hook from a second hand shop.

DUCK. INCOMING

I don't know the answer Pitcrew - but it's got to be one of the big questions of our time - doesn't it ?

Okay, here's a couple of obscure ones for which there are answers. I seem to remember minutiae more than the big event. What does that say about me ? No replies needed.
Anyway ;
In the movie Casablanca, Sidney Greenstreet was a rival bar owner to Rick ( Humphry B ) and wanted to buy Rick out.
What was the name of Sidney's bar ?

In the movie High Noon, there were 6 to 8 times when the camera cut back to the station showing Frank's gang waiting for him to arrive on the noon-day train.
What was the name of the station ?

I've never watched Casablanca so I've an excuse for not knowing but 'High Noon' (along with 'Shane') is my favourite western and I must have seen it a dozen times over the years...and I still don't know..(Cloud)

 

[David Wilcockson]

Could the station have been Hadleyville?

 

[oilkinger]

Hadleyville it is. Not what you would deem a traditional wild west town name.

 

[oilkinger]

Expats - As far as I'm aware, the only time the name Hadleyville appears is when Lee Van Cleef is leaning against the platform back fence and there is the name, on a board at eye level. That's where I spotted it

 

[Stephen J. Card]

Is the restaurant the 'Kirov'?

I have been to Rick's in Casablanca. OK place, not real of course, but full of memorabilia, photos etc. Just the T shirt... 'I've been to Rick's Café Americain'.

 

[trotterdotpom]

Sydney Greenstreet's bar was the Blue Parrot but it don't amount to a hill of beans.

Good one. Went through the subtitles and he mentions about 'selling' Sam, the pianist and about selling the Kirov. I'll have to go through the whole film again!
