Yes it is indeed Sue Lyon. I fully understand you believing the image is from Lolita from 1962, but it is actually from her second film The Night Of The Iguana from 1964.

How about these two new images then?

Ooh.  392 is Grace Kelley in High Society.  The ship is the model of the sailboat referenced in the film, and named True Love.  That was also one of the many great songs in this film.

Correct. Actually is 319 though. High Society From 1956.

 The film was a musical remake of the 194O screwball comedy film The Philadelphia Story that starred Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn  and James Stewart.



 

A couple of comments to make. The quality of the Australian film poster artwork beginning in the 1950s was starting to decline, when compared to the previous decade's output.

Secondly the  different censorship ratings applied is interesting,. One rated Suitable Only For Adults, while the other given a For General Exhibition rating. The difference must have been that the dialogue spoken in the 1940 film was too adult for audiences at that period time.

jayn_j

The High Society poster is basically the same as the US insert.  Typical tracing of the images for the Aussie style.

Actually, I tend to think of these as 2 different movies with the same plot.  Both had excellent casts and strong directors.  What set High Society apart as the worthy remake was the music, especially Bing Crosby bringing in Louis Armstrong and promoting jazz.  Unheard of in Hollywood at the time.

HONDO

 A clue for 320 is the key is to workout where the scene was filmed.,

Bruce

I am thinking it is Esther Williams. If that is right, do I get partial credit?

HONDO

You are getting a full credit Bruce, Your answer for 320 is indeed Esther Williams, The film being Jupiter's Darling from 1955.

My final clue was referring to the underwater sequence involved.

 321  322
A couple of ladies likely to be difficult to identify this time around to test your skills, but let's see.

HONDO

As previously mentioned images 321 and 322 would most likely prove to be difficult in answering. As this has turned out to be the case some assistance shouldn't go astray.

A clue for 321 is gained notice later on in her career playing a comic book character film role.

A clue for 322 is in this scene the actress appears dancing with one of the greats.

Both actresses were not major stars.

jayn_j

Was waiting for someone else to answer 322.  I can say that said dancing star is appearing in one of his lesser films. I read that at 18 she was his youngest dancing partner.

Oh heck, it's Joan Leslie in Sky's the Limit.

HONDO

Correct. Excellent response in answering this one Jay. The Sky's The Limit from 1943.
