"Chop chop" was an expression used by Charlie Chan
I was thinking Charlie Chan, but I wasn't sure, and there was a cartoon parody of Chan. That's it!

Oh - so that's why you call the movie business 'show business'. I understand now. :approve:

When you talk about 'Charlie Chan', are you actually referring to Jackie Chan? :rolleyes:

To add shame to your lack of knowledge in this field, you are wrong about Mary Poppins being a show. It was a movie! :-p

I meant the show cited by Marlon. :-p

I know Mary Poppins was a movie. It was about a nun that took a job watching some guy's kids in the Alps somewhere.

I may have been wrong the first time. However, I'm sure that I'm not wrong in saying that you're wrong this time, although you're right about the actress in both movies. :smile: :smile: :smile:

Great work guys, nearly all questions are solved correctly. Here is an update for now :

1) Enrico Caruso
3) Albert Einstein
4) Friedrich Nietzsche
6) JFK
8) Aristotle
9) Robert Duvall
10) Michael Jackson
12) Jack Frost (indeed Maryy Poppins says spit spot. "Just a spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down, medicine go down, medicine go down. In the most delightful way")

Only 2, 5, 7 and 11 remain unsolved
