        COMING IN 2016.
    I previously announced in December 2015  the above was coming soon and I here to inform you I haven't forgotten about it. I have given my War Movies Quiz a breather and intend to revive The Film Noir Quiz starting with some bad girls of film noir  which I have a nice collection of images for originating from Australia, U.S.A, Italy, Japan, Belgium and many other countries so hopefully it will appeal to members outside of Australia as well seeing the usage of Australian daybill and one sheets will be limited. As the Actresses Legs Quiz has done extremely well I believe the Bad Girl images will also do well as the majority of members here are male and we generally like like looking at images of females. Will be appearing soon.
  •  Image # 71. Name the actress and the film title. Won't be the typical image I intend to post in the future but I felt it a great way to kick off the Femme Noir images. An older woman but by the looks of her a seasoned bad girl which she was in real life. Image taken from a U.S. poster. To my knowledge the film was never released in Australia for whatever reason.
  • In any case you would not be getting hankercheifs or knitted sweaters for xmas if she was your aunty.  Mmmm i will have do some more research
  • Had a song named after me released in the 1970s. Surname is spelt slightly different but clearly the song is about the person depicted in the image.
  •  Image # 72. Name the actress and the film title.
  • edited January 2016
     Image # 73. Name the actress and the film title. A classic film. Image taken off a European poster. Should be very easy as the image is a great likeness of the actress.
