    Audie Murphy

    Star of approximately 44 Hollywood films was an American war hero and one of the most decorated soldiers of World War II being awarded the Medal of Honor, Murphy was decorated 72 odd US and foreign medals and citations including 5 from France and Belgium. Murphy's Hollywood career started when he was seen by James Cagney on the cover of LIFE magazine. Murphy's biggest hit film was the autobiographical To Hell And Back ( 1955 ) which became Universal's biggest box office hit, a record that stood until the release of JAWS ( 1975 )

    I was with you all the way up to the JAWS bit. Hard to believe that something as obscure as TO HELL AND BACK was their biggest hit untill JAWS.

    So I'll say FALSE.


    I doubt To Hell and Back was obscure in 1955 on it's release ( I've seen it re-run on Brit TV over and over ). Murphy was big box office back in the day.

    TRUE OR FALSE NEW QUESTION

    Going back to the era of "To Hell and Back" found Agatha Christie as the #1 best selling novelist of all time.

    Nice one...hmmmm...the fifties, eh?
    Lots of excellent writers gone before, but when we're talking about best-selling...You know, at that time I think this may well be TRUE.

    These days, I would guess it's a toss-up between A.A. Milne and Tolkien (looking at the global market).

    The 50's? Hmmmm???

    Boris Pasternak, Ernest Hemmingway, Daphne DuMaurier, John Steinbeck????


    Due to overall steady selling I'll go with TRUE!
    On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt
  3. False

    I'd go for Tolkien.
