Squeal of Fortune!

This is a game I’m going to post every week on Mondays. Basically it’s kind of like Wheel of Fortune, sans Vanna White, Pat Sajak and cash and prizes. And contestants and a wheel. And a studio audience. Below I’m putting a sentence with some letters left blank and a clue. The first person to correctly fill in the blanks in the comments section wins. I’ll post their name tomorrow if there is one and they can squeal for joy and/or like a pig.

Okay, here’s the clue (no fair Googling!):

Kirk Douglas bought the rights to this film and gave let his son Michael produce the movie. Michael then went on to cast someone else in the lead role other than his father, causing some family anger. The film is an adaptation of a 1962 Ken Kesey novel and it won five Academy Awards in 1975. Below name the movie and the actor that played the role that Kirk Douglas originally wanted for himself.

Movie:

•N•   F••W   •V•R   •H•   •UC•O•’S   •E•T

Actor:

•A•K   N••HO••S•N
