Yes it was answered earlier on, and it is King Creole featuring Kitty White from the opening scene from the film where she sings Crawfish with Elvis.

A final clue for C75 is to try to work out who the person is in the image and what is he holding.

It must be a while then since you last watched the film. 

HONDO

 O.k. then, a clue for C76 is Sorry Wrong Number.

HONDO

  C76

Who is the actor in between the two silhouetted people sitting behind him?

HONDO

A final clue for C76 is a famous street.

HONDO

As C76 has proved to be too difficult to answer, I will now reveal the identity of the film to be 23 Paces To Baker Street ( 1956 ). The plot involves a blind American writer who  overhears in a London bar a conversation that he believes to be a kidnapping plot. An excellent  mystery film with Hitchcock like touches.

 C78  C79  C80

Yes indeed it is the 1976 film Network. Part of the famous scene featuring Peter Finch as Howard Beale. Who can forget  Beale's "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!" speech?

Correct and well done. The Picture Of Dorian Gray from 1945.  Little Yellow Bird (A.K.A Goodbye little Yellow Bird) By Angela Lansbury - YouTube 
Angela performed Little Yellow Bird again in an episode of her television series Murder She Wrote many decades later.

What a wonderful talent we have just lost. Dame Angela Lansbury ( 1925-2022 ) gave us so many great performances on film, television and on stage. Who can forget her The Manchurian Candidate,. Blue Hawaii. Kind Lady and Murder She Wrote performances, to just mention a few.

I remember how beautiful she looked in The Court Jester film in 1955.. My wile and I  had the privilege of seeing her perform on stage with James Earl Jones  in the play Driving Miss Daisy in Sydney in 2013. At the time she was 87 years of age.

Yes, Angela Lansbury WAS quite beautiful in The Court Jester, but personally I preferred Glynis Johns, who is still alive at 99! She had beauty, brains and that wonderful voice!

C91 is High Anxiety, the Vertigo parody

C82  Raising Arizona,  I am so glad someone else sees this as a classic.  Very under rated I think!

HONDO

Bruce said:

Yes it is, but actually numbered C81. High Anxiety from 1977 is also a parody of some other Alfred Hitchcock suspense films as well.

 

HONDO

A clue for C82 is brothers.
