Did you get to see it there then?

Yes, I saw it twice last year. One of my favourite shows I've seen from the last few years.

HONDO

Hopefully the musical will one day play here in Australia.

 C405 C406
Two new images  for you to have a think about..

jayn_j

C406 is Klute

C405
The flag on the left is the standard Union Jack.  Looked here for the flag on the right, but couldn't find a real close match.  It supposedly shows all the Flags of the empire for the last 300 years

I did try to think outside the box.

One can certainly say then that you did put an effort into trying to solve this one..


Another image not from an actual film scene this time, but from a poster in a different colour, this time showing some more details for you to ponder.

HONDO

A C405 image clue is that the two flags were flown at a very famous battle in history,

dedeposter

C405 - I was thinking Charge Of The Light Brigade but can't find the image anywhere.

Movie is Waterloo

It isn't that film. Thanks for having a go though.

Yes C405 is Waterloo from 1970.

The flag with the small union jack in the top left hand corner would appear to be a flag used by  one of the individual regiments that fought in the battle of Waterloo.. 

HONDO

 C407  C408
Will these two new images test you or not, I wonder?

HONDO

Clue for C407 is`based on a true story.

Bruce said:

Is C407 Out of Africa?

Sorry but it isn't that one. The film in question here is a much later released one. 

HONDO

O.k. then to enable C407 to be answered this expanded image should help you to accomplish this.

Bruce

I never saw the movie, but it looks like it might be 12 Years as a Slave (or some title like that)
