I had thought the originally presented image wouldn't have presented a problem.

Beachhead! ( 1954 ). Skip Homier, Frank Lovejoy, Tony Curtis and Alan Wells appearing above were the actors who were feartured in the original posted image.

All for now.

360

Back with three more images to hopefully challenge one.

Bruce · February 2022

Is 360 Home of the Brave? If it is, it was an excellent movie and ahead of its time.

It is indeed the Stanley Kramer produced and Mark Robson directed Home Of The Brave ( 1949 ). Well worth while seeking out the film.

I think 358 is In Harm's Way (1965). Otto Premiger, John Wayne and Kirk Douglas. Confusing because this is a movie about the navy, so the image is misleading at best

You are correct in that it is a scene from In Harm's Way, and very well done for working out the answer.

I like to challenge one with the images I post where possible. To have made it easier to answer I could have used one of the other following images that I was consisering using instead, but I decided in the end on the more challenging one out of the three .

359. For the the final film title to be solved I have now added an additional image to hopefully assist in being able to do this. A clue is to concentrate on the actor appearing in the two scenes as he was very well known in the 1940s. If you can establish who he is the answer should be easy enough then to work out the name of the film.

HONDO · February 2022

I am really surprised no one worked this one out. A Walk In The Sun was released in 1945 by 20th Century Fox where Dana Andrews was a big star there at this time. He had appeared in Laura the year before.

Those images were so grainy I could not make out that it was Dana Andrews! Had I been able to do so, I would have gotten the answer. PLEASE keep doing these quizzes! I find them fun, and I am sure the small group of us who keep playing them do as well.

I cannot make the quiz too easy, and I know if the images had been clearer you would have supplied the correct answer. Your participation, along with the small group of members you mentioned who participate on my various quizzes. is very much appreciated and motivates me to keep doing them.

They Were Expendable ( 1945 ) is correct and very well spotted. If I am not mistaken that is John Wayne appearing with his back to us in the scene above.

Bruce · February 2022

Unfortunately I haven't a clue on these. I do much better when there is a recognizable actor, even just a character actor!

Your comment is noted for future image.inclusions.

HONDO · February 2022

Final clue for 361 is a way out.

Final clue for 363 is end of war.

HONDO · February 2022

While you ponder the answers to the previously not yet answered 361 and 363, three more images that are all with faces this time around.

366

Bruce · February 2022

365 is Bamboo Prison

Robert Francis made only four films, and was Ensign Keith in Caine Mutiny. It looked like he would have a big career, but died in a plane crash in 1955, at the age of 25.

Kind of like James Dean, without the cult following.

Correct Bruce.The Bamboo Prison is a Korean war drama that was released in 1954, Appearing in the earlier posted image with Robert Francis Is Keye Luke who had a long career in Hollywood. He played Charlie Chan's ''number one son'' Lee Chan in a number of films in the series. Most lIkely will also be remembered for playing Master Po in the television series Kung Fu ( 1972 -1975 ).

I thought someone else would surely get 361, maybe my favorite movie of all time!

In this case Lawrence was right to not show stars, because showing ANY of them would have given away that it is The Great Escape!

I feel really sad Bruce to inform you of this, but it isn't The Great Escape, and you were so positive that it was. The film that needs to be identified is British and was released in the previous decade.

Bruce · February 2022

Wow! I feel REALLY dumb!

Is it The Colditz Story? I never saw it, but I know it is a 1950s WWII escape movie.

Regrettably It is not The Colditz Story Bruce, but a good guess nevertheless. This answer needs to be redirected elsewhere. These images are very difficult to answer correctly if you haven't seen the film in question, or my clues aren't working well enough, but you are having a go which is most appreciated..

For 366 I know I had said that a final clue had been given, but as I really would like someone to answer correctly the name of this famous film here is one more clue. The clue is that a television series followed years later, which was also based on the real life events that the film had been adapted from.

For 363 and the following two images I would like to finalise them also. A major clue in finding an answer for this one is available in a number.

For 361 a clue is an animal name.

And finally for 364 a clue is high office.

Bruce · February 2022

So I guess 361 is The Wooden Horse?

If so, that is especially sad, because I both read the book and saw the movie (on TV) as a young teen, and thoroughly enjoyed both.
