    Correct. Kim Stanley was one of the Broadway greats and named by some as the greatest actress of her generation. She only appeared in a very small number of feature films, which included the excellent British film Seance On A Wet Afternoon ( 1964 ).

     EEEE

    Some information about this one is in the fact that in this studio posed image what you see doesn't actually appear in the film. A very different variation of what you see in the image takes place in the film.

    As it certainly appears this actress won't be identified, I will now reveal that she is Catherine McLeod as seen in the film I've Always Loved You ( 1946 ).  This was Republic Pictures first colour feature and most espensive film to date.. 

     

      

    The Australian  daybill and a scene from Courage Of Lassie ( 1946 ) where Catherine McLeod had played the older sister of Elizabeth Taylor's screen character.

  • GGGG Kathleen Byron...A Matter of Life and Death....love her in Black Narcissus
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Correct. I also loved her performance in Black Narcissus, which was released the following year after after A Matter Of Life And Death ( 1946 ).  
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

    Kathleen Byron as she appeared as an Angel, seen above with Bonar Colleano who played an American pilot. The film was retitled Stairway To Heaven when released in the U.S.A. and Australia.

    Correct. Experiment In Terror from 1962. I always think of this film alomg with another film from 1962 Cape Rear as being excellent thrillers from the 1960s.

    EEEE  Jane Greer, anne Jeffries in dick Tracy (1946)


    Correct.  Released in the U.S.A.  in December 1945.








    The two above lobby card and still images were posed for publicity purposes only by Anne Jeffreys, Mike Mazurki and Jane Greer. These scenes do not appear in the actual movie.




    Actual footage from the film showing Mike Mazurki as '' Splitface'', Mickey Kuhn as Junior and Anne Jeffreys as Tess Trueheart. You can notice Junior and Tess are tied up separately and not together, with no sign of Jane Greer's character Judith Owens to be seen.

    In this film sequence ''Spitface'' doesn't hold a knife in his hand at any time.

    Correct. I had thought that someone would recognise Stanley Kramer and follow through from there and do some detective work, so well done Bruce.

     

    Man In The Vault was released in 1956.The film was made by John Wayne's Batjac Productions, Karen Sharpe, see above in a nice publicity image, had appeared in an earlier Batjac Prodiction of The High And The Mighty in 1954,
  •  KKKK  LLLL

     MMMM  NNNN

    Another selection to perhaps test you, but again maybe they won't present too much of a problem with coming up with some answers,.
  • MMMM is Ella Raines. I don't know the movie. She has a very distinctive face!

  • NNNN Gail Russel in Angel and the Badman (1947)


  • Bruce said:
    MMMM is Ella Raines. I don't know the movie. She has a very distinctive face!
    Correct. Ella Raines certainly did  had very destintive facial features. The posted image was from a scene with John Wayne in the film Tall In The Saddle ( 1944 ).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

    A lovely publicity image of Ella from the 1940s, and a scene from probably one of her best rembered films Phantom Lady ( 1944 ) below.

      
  • jayn_j said:
    NNNN Gail Russel in Angel and the Badman (1947)

    Correct again. Sadly Gail Russell had a drinking problem which severly hampered her film career. She died at the age of only 36 years of age.

      

     

    Wake Of The Red Witch( 1948 ), again starring with her real friend John Wayne and The Uninvited ( 1944 ) are two films she will be remembered for.


  • LLLL - Anne Archer?
  • SJC said:
    LLLL - Anne Archer?

    Yes that's correct. The posted image is from Narrow Margin ( 1990 ). The expanded image below shows her with her co-star Gene Hackman,

     

     

    Anne Archer looking stunning in the above posed image, and also showing a scene from one of her most remembered films Fatal Attraction ( 1987 ).
  • kkkk - Jacquelin white in The Narrow Margin (1952) (I cheated)




  • jayn_j said:
    kkkk - Jacquelin white in The Narrow Margin (1952) (I cheated)


    Correct, and cheating allowed, and actually encouraged if needed to find an answer. Jacqueline White appears in the above scene with the great film noir actor Charles McGraw. Remade as Narrow Margin in 1990.

     I had intentionally placed together images MMMM and NNNN with the John Wayne connection,  as well  KKKK and LLLL images with the original and remake link. 

    Good work in identify Jacuueline, and I didn't have to use a good clue that I was soon to include here, She is still with us at 98 and almost 99 years of age. She  married and retired from acting after making The Narrow Margin 

     

        

    Seven Keys To Baldpate ( 1947), Crossfire ( 1947 )  seen above with Robert Young and Gloria Grahame and Mystery In Mexico ! 1948 ).
