  • Correct. The Court Jester ( 1955 ) 



    For anyone that has seen this hilarious film, who can forget  the scene containing the following dialogue,


     The vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true! Hawkins : The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true. Griselda : Just remember that.









  • After stating earlier that there wasn't any connection between the recently posted three images, I have just realised there is a link between the already answered  C185, and the yet to be answered C186.
  • c186 Edward Scissorhands
  • c186 Edward Scissorhands
    Correct. Edward Scissorhands from 1990.

    My clue regarding the connection between images  C185  ( The Court Jester )  and C186 ( Edward Scissorhands ) was referring  to Basil Rathbone
    and Vincent Price, who had appeared in a number of films together over a period of many decades.

     




  • Clues for C187 are firstly a very well known film actress in her day. If you can work out her identity, then the correct answer shouldn't present too much  a problem in working out the film's title. Also try and work out where  she is situated? A very old film but it is a classic from the Golden Years Of Hollywood.
  • Anna May Wong in Shanghi Express

    Anna May Wong in Shanghi Express
    Yes C187 is Shanghai Express from 1932. I was thinking Jay that you were a strong possibility to solve this one. I remembered that previously on the War  Movies Quiz you had correctly answered another Anna May Won film Lady From Chungking. 









  •  C188  C189

    Scenes from two well remembered films.


  •  
    C190  C191

    While you ponder what the answers may be for images C188 and C189, here are another couple of film images that hopefully will be much easier to identify. 
  • edited March 2023
    I am really surprised that none of the posted images have yet to be identified. They are all  well known and regarded films. 

     In two cases they are multiple Academy Award winning films. Another of the  two remaining ones was a controversial film when first released, and the remaining unidentified one is now certainly regarded as being a cult film. Included among them is certainly a much loved classic film.
     
    I am now wondering if the images are proving to be too difficult. or interest in this quiz is waning.? 

    Should I continue in future with supplying clues with the initial image presentations, and perhaps add more well known actors images in the presented scenes? 

    Love to hear any comments from you.



  • Lucky me (not) has been on school camp with my 9 year old!  I'm just coming back round to feeling normal after recovering!

    I know I regularly check in a love this one, but some genres are not my thing so I have no idea.
  • I dont have my glasses on...is the doors one Casablanca?
  • I dont have my glasses on...is the doors one Casablanca?
    Yes C190 is Casablanca from 1942. A favourite film of mine.

  • Clue for C189 is that the creative opening film credits music soundtrack usage caused a large reaction when the film was originally released..  

    Clue for C188 is with another image from the film. This new image should provide the answer.

    191 is Marty. I immediately recognized the man in the image, but couldn't place him. Your clue told me he was the guy who played Angie in Marty. Did he ever do anything else memorable?
