Arsenic and Old Lace was one ..."
Yes, Betsy answered my clue correctly (#2412). The idea here is to give an answer, and the next person gives the question for that answer. My "question" on "Arsenic and Old Lace" was the question that went with the answer in #2410. Just like the Jeopardy game.
So we are still waiting for the question to go with the answer in #2414 (the answer about the aria in Carmen).

Re: Roy Scheider - 2001 is not in his film list on Wikipedia. So I went with 2010 since it was based on an Arthur C. Clarke story. Next time 2001 is on, we'll all have to watch the opening!
