  •  X16 
    I am hoping that the featured actor and the scene itself may assist in solving this little known film. 
  • My first clue for X16 is that this obscure film was produced by a major film production company.They are  best remembered today for a particular popular genre of film.
  • I found it easily with image search, but I know noth8ng of this one.  I will let others have a shot.

    I'll go with The Snorkel...have seen a daybill with the dude wearing the mask and Ari educated me that it was in fact a Hammer film.  The things you pick up in this hobby

    It is The Snorkel from 1958. I have previously viewed this Hammer film that is  seldom seen today. It is a neat little  underrated suspense thriller, and well worth while seeking out. 

      
  •  X17

     X18
    I am wondering how this two will fare? 
  • X18 - That's Beverly Garland, scream queen of the 50s.
    Curucu?

    Yes it is Curucu, Beast Of The Amazon from 1956. 

     







  • X17 film based on a true story.
  •  X19
    Another image that I am thinking shouldn't present too much of a problem in identifying.


  • x19 - Queen of Outer Space?
  • X17 - The Greatest Show On Earth? (1952)

    x19 - Queen of Outer Space?
    Very plausible answer, bit not correct. Think more of comical content.


    X17 - The Greatest Show On Earth? (1952)
    Also a very plausible answer as well, but again not correct. Something in common with X19

  • Abbott and Costello go to Mars?
  • Rick said:
    Abbott and Costello go to Mars?
    Correct. X19 is Abbott And Costello Go To Mars from 1953. The lovely Mari Blanchard appearing with the boys below.

  •   X20   X21

    While the answer to X17 is still to be figured out here, are two more images to test your skills.
  • X.20 Siege at Red River
  • jayn_j said:
    X.20 Siege at Red River
    Correct. The Siege At Red River from 1954.






  •  A clue for  X21 is that multi award winning actresses don't always gain overnight fame. They sometimes have to degin their careers acting in B films.



    Another clue for X17 is in the studio that made and released it.
  • edited May 2023
    Oops.



  • The above image is a final clue for X17.
  • A stab in the dark - X17 - Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962)?


    Peter
  • A stab in the dark - X17 - Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962)?
    Thanks for having your stab in the dark. It isn't the answer though, but I appreciate you having a go.

    O.k., now the following clues are definitely the final ones. The MGM released film in question is a non musical film from the 1950's that was based on a true incident.
  • edited May 2023
    The clues definitely point to The Greatest Show on Earth.  The train wreck was based on the 1918 wreck.
    However, I can only find clown image for Jimmy Steward and Emmitt Kelly.  Neither clown matches that one.
  • And definitely not a b movie. TGSoE won best picture.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    jayn_j said:

    The Greatest Show On Earth was a Paramount release. The film up for identification was an MGM release, with no train wreck invo;lved. 


  • A final clue fie X21 is that this atcress also appeared in a Marilyn Monroe film.
  •  X21

    I Know I said the previous clue was my final one, but seeing I would really like this image to be identified, anorher image  clue appears above.

    If this new image clue dooen't assist in providing an answer by tomorrow, I will then reveal the answer.  
  • After six days and some clues it is now apparent that X17 has proven to be too difficult for an answer to be found for. so the answer I will now reveal

    The film is Fearless Fagan ( 1952 ).

    Fearless Fagan

    Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Fearless_Faga



     
  • Time is now up for X21. The answer is Gorilla At Large from 1954.The actress featured in the image  in question being Anne Bancroft.
