                                                                                                 How about these two then ?
  • jump in after a long break




  • Thank Gawd.  Good work Jay...That was driving me bonkers, as I knew I had seen the image before!


  • Great to have you back here Jay. # 233 correct and Manila Calling was released in 1942. Of the two images that I posted, I had thought of the two this one would possibly prove to be the hardest one to identify.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    We still have # 232 to be identified, but I have now added another image  # 234 from another completely different film featuring similar images to make it perhaps a tad more interesting.  

    232

    234

    Yes Odette is correct. The film was originally released in the U.K. in 1950.

    Was the film released in Italy in 1960 Jay?


  • Sorry, typo.  US release was 1951.

    God Is My Co-Pilot ( 1945 ) is the answer to 232. John's image used.

    The Flying Tigers ( 1942 ) is the answer to # 234. A Belgian poster.

                                Two more World Wat 11 set films to identify, 236 in black and white ae top and 237 in colour just above.                                                                                                                                                                                     

  • 237 - Big Red One...
  • Are we allowed to google?

    236 - Edge of Darkness

  • Charlie said:

    236 - Edge of Darkness
    Both answers correct. The Big Red One ( 1980 )  and Edge Of Darkness ( 1943 ). Google by all means. It's good to to see you participating here on this thread Charlie.
  • Never seen the db for God is my pilot before.  Very nice!


  •                          238       




                                             239 



                              240  

    Three more scenes from films set during World War 11 to be identified. Two out of the three shouldn't be too hard to answer.
  • 240 Kelly's Heroes
  • #239 - Decision Before Dawn (1951)
    Image is at imdb.

    .Matt said:

    Both answers correct. Kelly's Heroes from 1970.

    Now this leaves only 238 to solve. The clue is in the actor appearing on the far left of the image.

    Trying to lrt others play, but...

    Operation Disaster (1950) with John Mills and Richard Attenborough.

    IMDB seems a bit confused on this one.  It shows the title Morning Departure as well  as the original title.

    Picture appears to be from the German poster

    Correct answer. The original British country of origin title was Morning Departure which was also retained mainly throughout the world The U.S.A. title was Operation Disaster, following the usual trend to have a more exciting sounding title for a good deal of British films released there. 

     Pictured from left to right is John Mills, Nigel Patrick and an unidentified actor.

    The image material was used to promote the West Germany release.



                                                                                A nice Austalian daybill printed with the original title.



  •                                                                                    240


                                                                                     241

                                    Two more images from War films for you to hopefully answer. Both films set during the same war.
  • #241 - Men in War (1957)
  • #240 -  Target Zero (1955) Richard Conte and Peggy Castle.

    jayn_j said:
    #241 - Men in War (1957)


                                                           Both correct answers. The two films were set during the Korean War.

  •                                                     242


                                                     243                                            
    Two more entries. One from the Korean War and the other from World War 11. 242 should be gettable, but for the other image it is one I like to throw occassionly that is really odscure, so good luck.

    #242 Flight Nurse (1953)

  • #243 - La grande Speranza (1955) Retitled Submarine Attack and Submarine Zone for English audiences in 1956



    The Italian naval cap gave it away.

                                                                                                      Correct.

    Correct and good work Matt.  Lois Maxwell who starred in this Italian film of course went on to become Miss Moneypenny in the early James Bond films. I like the following U.S.A. lobby card image using another title of Torpedo Zone.



    Lois Maxwell made a couple of other Italian films in the early 1950s including  Aida in 1953 playing opposite a very young Sophia loren.                          





  •                                                                       244

                          
                                                                               245


                                                                              246
                                                           
    Three more World War 11 film images to solve. Seeing the recent entries have been answered in quick time without having to give any clues, I have I believe increased the difficulty level with these latest obscure entries to make things a little more challenging.
