Mission: Impossible -- Free boots: the sequel

A pair of plain-toe, six-inch Giorgio Brutini boots with calf leather and a synthetic sole retails for $65. It can be yours for free if you know a few things about "Mission: Impossible."

I'm still giving away boots! Who wants to "get the look" from the new "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" movie, by way of a pair of boots?

You'll have to answer three questions about "Mission: Impossible" in its various forms to win these boots by maker Giorgio Brutini which are featured in the film.

The first person to answer these questions correctly (respond on this blog, please) is the winner. I'll be in touch to verify -- and to find out the size of shoe needed so the company can ship them to you.

Ready?

1. We know Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt in the movies. But in the 1960s TV show "Mission: Impossible," the group leader was played by Peter Graves. What was the name of Graves' character?

2. Which cast member from the original TV show saw his son make his own name -- but in comedy -- by playing a recurring "Seinfeld" character?

3. Peter Graves made a name for himself in comedy as well when he played against type in what 1980 film?

OK, clearly these questions are too easy, I'll have to come up with some more difficult ones for future giveaways. But not too difficult.
But that's it for shoes, two pairs given away in two days! Keep watching for future contests.

“I was born a poor, black child” … not me, actually, but Steve Martin’s character in the “The Jerk.” That absurd opening line is just one of the absurd number of film facts, quotes and minutiae contained in movie critic Michael Smith’s brain, at his disposal to toss out on a moment’s notice. It’s a key requirement as Tulsa World film critic to know these things. Michael learned a few other life facts along the way (seven years as a Crystal’s Pizza & Spaghetti manager) before attempting journalism and joining the Tulsa World in 1996, where he’s covered everything from a school shooting in Fort Gibson to a tornado in Stroud to witnessing an execution. A little community theater coverage was sprinkled in there, too. Movies engender many of his happiest memories, from standing in line for “Star Wars” and “Grease” at the Southroads Cinema to the James Bond and Pink Panther movies that always premiered at the enormous Continental Theater.
