Actually, likely the same outfits.  Lobby cards from that Era started as black and white images.  The studio artists applied color before sending them to be separated and printed.  I believe colors were chosen to pop on the card.

Also explains why black and white films have color lobby cards.

Yes agree with all that you say. The different colour outfits comment was only a lighthearted one.

 The non lobby card colour image shows what the actual colour costumes appeared like in the film, but some slight alterations were made to the image with a few  of the ladies outfit colours swithed around a little. The much more brighter makeover  lobby card version certainly  stands out a lot more to the viewer.

I believe 62 is Oh What a Lovely War. I never saw it, because it sounded terrible to me! Anyone know if it is worth watching?

You believed correctly Bruce. Oh! What A Lovely War was released in 1969. I have seen the film, but only when I was very much younger. It isn't remembered to any extent as being a great film, but on saying that though I am thinking that given a second viewing it could possibly increase my appreciation of its merits..

A final clue for # 60 is three lovely ladies are featured.

A typo. Meant to type two and not three lovely ladies. Seeing this one is proving to be a problem in being solved, how about thinking about the world seasonal then.

I didn't do 60 because I thought it was the easiest of the three.

Thanks for answering # 60. White Christmas ( 1954 ) seems to be screened on local pay television every Christmas here in Australia. I had though the red costumes would have helped.

Agree, but the setting is important.

OMG I actually know the first one!

64 is Les Girls

HONDO

Bruce said:

64 is Les Girls

Correct. Les Girls is from 1957.

 

HONDO

Clue for 65 is 1944.

For 63, seeing two members know the answer I am sure one of them will provide it sometime in the future.

dedeposter

65 is The Glenn Miller Story (1953)

HONDO

dedeposter said:

Correct. I was counting on my clue of 1944 being helpful. 1944 was the year Glenn Miller vanished on a flight over the English Channel.   The film was actually released in early 1954.

I came in second so will leave it for Jayn

jayn_j

Dang, I was hoping you would take it, Ves.  Calamity Jane (1953)  another early Doris Day

jayn_j

I look3d at Glenn Miller, but didn't see that image.  Good job.  Also looked at Swing Shift, half a dozen released in 1944 a d a few Kong shots.

MUSICALS released during the war either were period pieces of a happier time, or stuck a patriotic number in at the end (i.e. Holiday Inn)

# 63 is of course correct

 66  67

Two more images, with one of them perhaps being harder to identify than the other.

jayn_j

66 is kinda easy.  67 is Lucky Me (1954)  Another Doris Day film that I've never seen (or heard of)

HONDO

A clue for # 66 is that the answer is also a well known song title .
