    Then it was a good question...  ;)
  • It looks 1960s to me and I am sure I have seen the poster it is from previously. A clue would go down well.
  • David said:
    Bah!

    I'm guessing that means...no clue? 

  • No it was a ploy. After originally thinking that  I  then thought it possibly could be a clue and Contempt sprang to mind.It is Le Mepris ( 1963 ) released in the U.SA. in 1964 as Contempt. The image here comes from a Japanese ''B2 '' poster.
  • Very good, Le Mepris (1963) aka Contempt. Japanese Poster


  • Impressive Lawrence! :plus_one: I would have never got that. 
  • Image # 6 clue.The leading actress appeared in another film adapted by a novel written by the same author which was directed by one of the best remembered film directors of all time. 

  • Another image # 6 clue is Cornwall.
  • The fifth and final clue is the male lead was a Mexican actor plaiying the role of a Frenchman.
  • The answer to Image # 6 is Frenchman's Creek from 1944. Image is of Joan Fontaine who also starred in Rebecca ( 1940 ) and both films were adapted from novels written by Daphne Du Maurier. Arturo de Cordova was the Mexican actor who played a French pirate in the film depicted on the full poster.

    I borrowed the following -------------                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        "Classic Film'' Definition.

    "What is considered a ''Classic Film?''. Depends who you ask. Many feel certain old movies are classic. Some feel certain new movies are classic. In other words everyone has their opinion on what should be considered a '' Classic Film.'' You can use the term 'Classic'' to describe a film you think is great whether it was made this year or during the ''Silent Era'' usually considered 1890-1929.

     Most film historians use the term ''Classic Film to describe a span of time beginning in the early 1930's through to the late 1950's. Many have called this period the ''Golden Age'' of Hollywood. So you could bump all the films during this period as the ''Classic Film'' period. That doesn't mean all the films made during this period were the best of all time. Some films won Oscars. Many were considered to be amateurish. Depends on public opinion and the professional film critic.'' 

    Have you seen this film David? I have viewed it and in my opinion I consider it worthy to appear on this thread.

    As I rest mine. Moving on to hopefully no more questionable entries.
  • Image # 8. Name the film title. This one surely can be called a classic.
  • Image # 8 clue. A British film from the 1940s directed by one of the greats. I had been expecting a fast response to this one.
  •  Be quick in getting your answer in as nobody likes to be pipped to the post.
  • 8. Great Expectations
  • Yes the 1946 version of Great Expectations it is. I thought the last clue would work.
  • Image # 9. Name the film title.
