   only scene I really remember was when the main character was singing to his   
   neighbors and their kids. His wife (I think) was painting a picture in their   
   backyard. The man then    
   stuck his face in the painting &  turned around with paint on his face,   
   looking exactly like a clown.

   I used the example of the fruit to show you that there is not enough   
   specific information.  If you add, "William Tell shot it off a kid's   
   head", you would get it immediately.

   It is too general.  The hints need to be more specific.  When I say   
   "complete information", I mean as much information as is needed to   
   identify it.

   Google is fairly complete.  If you put in correct and focused terms,   
   you will get results including the result you are looking for.   
      
   All the OP would need is one actor or something more specific than the   
   information he provided.

   That's not my problem.  I was giving you an example of how Google   
   works in identifying films, etc.  There are specific hints in my   
   example.
