  • For the yet unanswered C113 and C114 a couple of clues are acting royalty and a politician.


  • Final clues for C113 and C114 are.

    C113 tragic death. Plus the earlier clue of acting royalty.

    C114 based on a famous novel. Also the earlier clue of politician.

  • Bruce said:
    C113 Isadora (and yes the Redgraves are "royalty" and Isadora did have a tragic death)
    Correct and pleased that my clues assisted. Isadora was released in 1968.

    The film is a biography of the 1920's dancer Isadora Duncan, played in the film by Vanessa Redgrave.

    In the film, and in real life Isadora Duncan went for a drive at high speed in a sports car. Her long chiffon scarf was caught up in the spokes of the car's wheel, and it ended up strangling her.



  • As C114 has proven too difficult to identify,  I will now advise the answer to be Women In Love ( 1969 ).

      

    Glenda Jackson and Jennie Linden, then Glenda Jackson and friends. 




  •  C115
     C116 

    Two more images that hopefully this time around will not prove too difficult to identify.
  • C116 The Night Porter?

  • Bruce said:
    C116 The Night Porter?

    Sorry Btuce, although s a great answer, unfortunately it is incorrect.

    The Nighr Porter certainly has some similarities  in common with the film that I am seeking an answer for.
  • edited November 2022
    I'll go for the other one then.  Von Ryans Express C115
    FWIW, Night Porter was my immediate guess as well for C116.

    Correct for C115. Von Ryan's Express from 1965.

     

    I can fully understand why both you and Bruce had thought  C116 was The Night Porter
  • Then it is likely The Damned, which I never saw!

  • Bruce said:

    You have certainly figured out the correct answer to  C116 to be The Damned from 1969. Both this film and The Night Porter ( 1974 ) has Dirk Bogarde and Charlotte Rampling included in the casts.



  •   C117  C118

    A couple of more film images for you to hopefully figure out, including one of them from one of my all time favourite films. The other film is highly regarded by me also.
  • c118 12 Angry Men....LOVE this movie!
  • c118 12 Angry Men....LOVE this movie!
    Correct. Sidney Lumet's classic film 12 Angry Men from 1957. The gold standard for courtroom set films. I too love this film. 12 Angry Men is currently rated number 5 on the IMDb Top 250 films list.




  • C117 - Winchester 73?
  • SJC said:
    C117 - Winchester 73?
    Yes it is Winchester '73 from 1950. Well done Sarah-Jane. James Stewart appears in my posted image.


  •  C119 C120

    Seeing the last two entries were promptly answered in only one hour and nineteen seconds, here then are two more images for those who didn't have the opportunity to get to answer them. 
  • C120. Silent Movie.
  • C119 Days of Heaven

  • jayn_j said:

    Correct. Silent Movie from 1976. The '' Our Fingers Are In Everything''  company slogan is great Mel Brooks humour.

     

    Bruce said:
    C119 Days of Heaven

    Correct. Days Of Heaven from 1978.

     
  • So, Silent Movie had a single spoken word.  What was it, who said it, and why was it funny?
  • I remember it was mime Marcel Marceaux, but don't remember what it was.

  • I think he said "no"
  • edited November 2022
    As Bruce and Rick previously mentioned it was Marcel Marceau who says the word non, which means no in English. It is funny for people viewing the film when it turns out it is a  a mime who utters the only word spoken in the film.
  •  C121  C122

    I like to mix it up somewhat. Two more images for you to ponder.

  • C121. Maybe you need to expand your thinking with this one. Ves?

    C122. A great team were responsible for this film.
  • I am pretty sure C122 is a Powell and Pressburger film (I even think I sold a pre-production still with that matte painting at left) but I don't remember which movie it is).

    1/2 a point for your memory getting the Powell and Pressburger part correct.  Now what is the film title?
  • c121  Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein...I admit, I barely looked at it assuming it was one of the later Frankenstein remakes
