Correct and well done. The image number actually is C256 though.

 The following is what was going to be an additional assistance mage that wasn't required. Directed by Anthony Mann who is one of my  favourite directors of western films.





On the top right hand side corner of the above U.S. half sheet, and all the many other copies of this poster that I have checked out,  an odd covering up was added to the poster. My question is why ?

I am thinking that there shouldn't hopefully be any problems in one being able to identify these three classic titles.

C260 is Northwest Passage.  Figured it was a John Wayne theme.

HONDO

jayn_j said:

C260 is Northwest Passage.  Figured it was a John Wayne theme.

Correct. Northwest Passage ( Book 1 - Roger's Rangers ) from 1940. The film is based on a best selling novel that was split into two parts, referred to as ''Book 1'' and ''Book 2'' This film was based entirely on ''Book 1".

I intentionally didn't make it a Johh Wayne trio of films on purpose so it wouldn't start to become  too predictable with my image groupings..

 

Bruce

On Northwest Passage, I read the book as a teen and liked it a lot. If memory serves, the movie only covered the first half because of how much content it had, but it underwhelmed at the box office, and the actors did not like the difficult outdoor filming, so the plug was pulled on the second part and it was never made.

Yes the on location filming conditions were tough for the cast and crew, One memorable scene that was particularly exhausting for the actors involved was the human chain formed and used  to cross the raping rapids of a river.

Two more images to have a think about. One image is from a very well known film, while the other is somewhat lesser so, but this film had a big star headlining it.

Bruce

Is C261 I Wake Up Screaming? And has that ever happened to any of you?

HONDO

Bruce said:

Is C261 I Wake Up Screaming? 

Correct. I Wake Up Screaming aka Hot Spot from 1941.

  
Betty Grable, Carol Landis and Laird Cregar appear in the above scene. According to IMDb Trivia, this was the first noir film produced by 20th Century Fox.

 C262

Hopefully the following may assist you. This film isn't a first timer here on this particular quiz.

HONDO

Final clue for C262 is that this film is a political thriller.Who's in first?

HONDO

For C262 i'll give this one another twenty four hours in the hope of receiving an answer.
To assist you a bonus clue is that the film ended up with a real life event occurring later after the film's release that had a strong link with the film's plot.

C262 - Seven Days In May (1964)?

HONDO

C262 - Seven Days In May (1964)?

A good guess but not that one. Look at a little earlier than 1964, but not too much earlier.

Bruce

Bruce said:

One image that should be easy enough to identify, with the one maybe not so easy.
