  • For 49 I can't get past The Blob, which I know is wrong.  Soundtrack you say.  Hmmm
  • Oh there you go.  51. The Blob.  Blind as a bat!

    Oh there you go.  51. The Blob.  Blind as a bat!
    Yes the answer is the original 1958 version of The Blob.



    A few of the fleeing patrons don't appear to be very frightened and did you spot the fallen extra/ s on the ground.
    .


  • Final clues for # 49 are the above image along with the fact that the film in question was made by a major studio with two big box office stars appearing in the movie. The film has a great musical soundtrack featured behind the opening credits.


  • # 49 answer is The Rat Race ( 1960 ).

    I recommend checking out the'' Main title / Arrival to New York'' track from the film played by the Paramount Pictures Studio Orchestra composed and conducted by Elmer Bernstein.





  • For # 52 is anyone able to name the movie this scene appeared in?

    At least four of the films advertised have titles that should give you an idea of around the time that the film is set in. 
  •                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Clue for # 52 is multiple careers were given a big boost due to the film in question here. 


  • ok I immediately thought midnight cowboy, but no.
    Upon taking time to check the actual release dates I say Mean Streets!
  • ok I immediately thought midnight cowboy, but no.
    Upon taking time to check the actual release dates I say Mean Streets!
    Main Streets from 1973 is certainly correct for # 52. The careers of  Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel  were certainly helped along by this film.


  • Good show, Ves.  I had it, but you were too fast for me :)

    A nice article here that shows the different films appearing on the marquees.

  • Great read.  Thanks Jay. 

    It's that time zone I tell yah.  Gets me everytime.
  • Not every time, Ves.  You win some, I win some, and occasionally Bruce chimes in.  :)




  • # 53. What happens shortly afterwards in this scene is an important part of the film. The two actors images should hopefully have you identifying them, thus enabling one to work out the title of the film.   

  • A clue for # 53 is that the actress pictured in the image lived in Australia for a short period of time as a child.

    Glynnis Johns in Frieda (1947)

    Correct film but the wrong actress. As Glynnis Johns' mother was an Australian born concert pianist I can understand the reason for the answer.

    The actress is actually Swedsh born Mai Zetterling, seen in the image with David Farrar. Mai did live in Australia for a short period of time as a child.

    # 56 is certainly Peter Jackson's Heavenly Creatures from 1994. Well done both of you. 



    The film has received a lot of praise over the years, but I personalaly have never seen it, so I am unable to comment on it. I really should chase it up and view it anyway.


  • I kinda liked it, but its not for everyone.

    Jaws has recently been discussed on another forum thread and and many times on vaious threads previously, so I thought this image would be well placed here . Anyone know which film the above image appeared in? Jay will certainly know, but can anyone beat him to the punch?

  • Just realised that the previous image is from a made for television anthology drama series, and not for the cinema. Sorry about that, but the image source didn't mention this. It is nevertheless a great image anyway, but it certaiinly will be harder to identify.
  • I'm drawing a blank so far.  Amazing Stories? (pure guess)

    Not so, but thanks for taking a guess.



    The Kiss Of Death was a 1977 entry in the British television anthology drama series titled Play For Today. This series aired in the U.K. on BBC1 between 197O and 1984.The film was directed by Mike Leigh. Sorry that it was mission impossible with this one.

    How about this one then? An answer has to be obtainable here. This one for Ves Maybe?
