    Both correct. I only caught up with The Purple Plain about a decade or so ago, and I remember I thought at the time it was a good film.

    A clue then. In the year of release in the U.K. this film was one of three war films in the six most popular films of that year.
  • Above Us The Waves (1955)

    John Mills in Above Us the Waves 1955

  • Nice matt, I was sure it was this only I couldn't find where Lawrence's artwork came from to confirm. Plus I'm supposed to be having a poster free week on holiday! 
  • Don't worry, I had trouble too.

    Hope your taking plenty of pics while taking time off!

  • Not many at all to be honest! More into digging around in antique/junk shops whilst the mrs sits patiently in the car (not quite the relaxing holiday in Port Douglas she was hoping for  =))

    Picked up a nice couple of 20th Century Fox hexagonal film cans, told her they'll look great in our lounge... she's not convinced!

    # !90 is of course correct, and thanks I won't have to post the original poster image now.

    More coming up soon, and later on some more from the U.S.A. 


  •  193
     194
     195

    Batch five will perhaps be a little tougher than usual, but one never knows.
  • @HONDO

    I don't suppose 194 is a colourised lobby for A Town Like Alice? 

    The male, although hard to see resembles Peter Finch a tad.
  • 195: the actress second left looks like Kay Walsh who I believe played John Mills' girlfriend in 'In Which We Serve' could this be from a flashback scene? Although I think she experiences an air raid in a house and not as the image appears as a shelter.
  • 195: If not as above then possibly "This happy Breed" 1944. Last guess for the night.


  • 193: Angels One Five (1952)


  • 193: Angels One Five (1952)


    193 correct and good work Wil in identifying that one.

    194 and 195 were good guesses but unfortunately incorrect. Keep thinking and I am sure you will end up with the answers.


  • 195 The guy standing is Eric Portman. He was in We Dive at Dawn.

    This movie is Millions Like Us (1943)

    Image result for millions like us

  • Well done Matt, I've seen the movie about women working in the factories etc. but couldn't remember the name or year. 
  • edited August 2018


    A clue for # 194 is that the company that made this film was famous for making numerous films of a different genre and made very few war films.

    A clue for # 195. Not your traditional war film, but a propaganda film set during World War 11. The image source didn't credit the actors.The male standing on the right of the image is the most recognizable member of the cast pictured in this scene. There is also an actress seated that is hard to tell or not if she is the star of the film. I think it is but I cannot be 100% certain.
     Not required now as answer just received, Well picked Matt.

    Thanks Lawrence, I think AOF is one of the few B&W early films to use Hawker Hurricanes as opposed to Spitfires.

    Apparently eight Hawker Hurricanes were used in the making of the film. Three from the U.K. and five were loaned from the Portuguese Air Force and all were painted over with the colours of the 56 Squadron RAF.


  •  194

    A final clue then. I have worked out the male in the image appeared in Star Wars ( 1977 ) and the female went on from this film to become famous in a certain category of genre films that boosted her career no end.
  • #194 - Been saving for others, but...  The camp on Blood Island (1958)


    I know nothing of this film.
  • jayn_j said:
    #194 - Been saving for others, but...  The camp on Blood Island (1958)

    I know nothing of this film.
    Correct Jay. A Hammer film production.



    Phil Brown and Barbara Shelley in a scene from the film.



    Phil Brown with Mark Hamill in a scene from Star Wars ( 1977 ), in which he played Uncle Owen.



    Barbara Shelley with Donald Wolfit in Blood Of The Vampire ( 1958 ).



    Barbara Shelley in The Gorgon ( 1964 ). A Hammer film production.

    Barbara Shelley  in the 1950's and 1960's was Hammer's horror number one female star.




  •  196 197  198

    Temporary switch in countries. One easy but you could struggle with the other two. Don't worry more ''Best of British'' still to come.
  • Just to get the easy one out of the way - 196: The Bridge At The Bridge at Remagen (1969)


  • #197:  Fighter Attack - 1953
    Another one I've never heard of

  • #198 is a fairly famous historical photo, but I can't see a tie in to any film.
  • Just to get the easy one out of the way - 196: The Bridge At The Bridge at Remagen (1969)


    Correct. The Bridge At Remagen I enjoyed very much when I viewed it about ten years ago.

    Correct and well done in pinning down an answer for a difficult entry.

    A final clue for 198 where another sterling effort is required. Two wars featured.

    Off the bat all I can think of would be the 1977 Gregory Peck flick - MacAuthur?

    It covered WW2 and Korea and your imaged looks like it's been colourised to add into a later colour movie.

    Good thinking here but you need to be looking for a much earlier released film. Another thing is that everything you see isn't always what it appears to be.
  • Is there a Sci-fi element to this Lawrence? The burning Hellcat looks like it's being intensely heated up by a alien ray or something?
