Actresses Legs Quiz

A clue for 471 is famous sister.

471 was quite an effort. Seems every actress in the 50s posed in that swimsuit. Maralyn, Barbara Eden, Janet Leigh, Debra Paget, etc.

Finally found it. Joan Collins, in a scene with June Allyson in The Opposite Sex.

It certainly is Joan Collins. I had thought that the famous sister clue would assist. The Opposite Sex from 1956.

Correct and again well done. Yes I had thought that this one would be the harder one of the two images to identify. China Gate from 1957.

Thanks for having a guess but it isn't the film in question.

I'm surprised Bruce missed that one. Image is on the poster and the DVD case.

Yes indeed, but I will now acknowledge that you do know the actress and the film involved. Time though to reveal that the answer to 472 is Kathleen Turner in Crimes Of Passion (1984).

475
The latest two lovely ladies to hopefully be identified

jayn_j · August 23

474 is Twiggy in The Boyfriend dancing with Tommy Tune. Kind of underrated film.
The other is a lesser known film with a well known actress. See if that helps others.

`Yes it is indeed Twiggy in The Boyfriend from 1971, so well spotted. Sorry to say though that her dancing partner isn't Tommy Tune, but it is her film co-star Christopher Gable. I do agree with you that the film is somewhat underrated.

For 475 to hopefully also assist is that it isn't a musical film,

A reply to follow.

Having seen the film I agree with a description of it appearing on Google as being a crime drama and late era film noir film containing some stylised musical sequences.i

Bruce · August 24

Based on the above comments, I would guess "Love Me or Leave Me"

A very good guess based on my comments, but it isn't that one. The actress we are after isn't a singer, but is remembered today for her dancing skills.

Maybe I'm being bitchy. If so, sorry, not my Intent.
I've seen it described as a film noir musical. Imo musicals don't need to be comedies.
However most critics agree that the film struggles to find its identity and genre. I would agree.

No worries. It's great to toss the film's genre around for discussion. I was a little worried when I included the image that people would consider traditional musical films only to work out the identity of the actress.
