    Not Ali G but i will be unable to say anything else. Actually I did.
  • 5. Scared Stiff - Martin and Lewis (sorry I missed this lot of pictures all together!)
    Correct. From 1953.
    11. The Night Before
    Correct. From 2015.
    14. Ace Ventura Pet Detective
    Correct. From 1994.


  • Only three now to solve.

    # 7. Some A. & C. long shots.

    # 8.  A. & C. are in the movie.

    # 13. Clue given a little earlier.

  • 13. Semi pro

     Correct. Semi-Pro from 2008 featuring the not so funny, to me anyway, Will Ferrell
  • # 7                                                                          # 8                                   Clues for the last two unidentified images.

  • Image # 15. Name this famous British comedy.
  • edited August 2016
    Seven famous faces coming soon.
  • 15. The Ladykillers 

  • 15. The Ladykillers 

    Correct. It is The Ladykillers, the famous Ealing studios comedy from 1955. In the image the robbers pictured are Danny Green on the left and Alec Guinness on the right.

  •  

    As it appears nobody was going to  answer # 7 and # 8  the answers are as follows.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                Top ( # 7 ) is Fireman Save My Child from 1954. That is Spike Jones pictured. Apparently if one looks hard enough in the film's long shots you can spot the boys, who were signed for the film, and had shot a few scenes before Costello's ill health forced the withdrawal of the duo from the film. Universal then replaced them with Hugh O'Brian & Buddy Hackett.         

                                                                                                                                                                                            # 8 is The Time Of Their Lives from 1946, the Bud Abbott & Lou Costello film. Lou Costello pictured of course in the expanded image above with the sign. Looks like An Abbott @ Costello film Ves hasn't viewed.


  • No, Haven't seen that one!
  •                                            Who are the above famous faces ?. From top left # 16, then # 17 ( top right ), # 18 ( centre left ) , # 19 ( centre right ), # 20 ( bottom left ) & # 21 ( bottom right ). Some easy I believe and some not so easy. A mixture of 1940's and 1950's images.

  •       As a matter of fact some may be difficult but some should be very easy to identify. I am not asking for the film titles , only the actors names ?
  • I've been a bit crook lately and now need to catch up on work they pay me for :)

    Will definitely take a look soon!

  • #21 is Jimmy Edwards in Treasure Hunt

    #16 is Robert Morley and Margaret Rutherford in Curtain Up

    #20 looks like Alistair Sim in Ladykillers

    # 16 is indeed Robert Morley and Margaret Rutherford from Curtain Up ( 1952 ).

    # 20 does look a bit like Alec Guinness but it isn't him though. The actor is Scottish and in the film in question he starred along the actor who's image appears in # 17.

  • 18.  Bob Hope in Road to Rio
  • 18.  Bob Hope in Road to Rio
    Correct. The film from 1947.

  • Clues for remaining three images to be answered. There is a loss of inhibitions, a colour and multiple roles involved.
  •  # 19 ( top left ), # 20 ( top right ) & 17 ( left ).  Additional clues and I hope these images will help provide the correct answers for the remaining three unsolved images.                    
  • Are you able to put the  numbers either on or next to the images?

    I cant work out what numbers you have assigned to these



    but it looks like Alastair Sim to me
