    C11 55 days at Peking?
    Sorry, but not that one. The country the film in question is set in  isn't too far away from China though.

    Does the following second image help?

    Not really.. wild guess is lawrence of arabia.
    Can't remember any other movies with a train being attacked!

    Yes the answer is Hud from 1963, I am pleased that you worked out the answer Sven.




    The shooting of cattle due to foot and mouth disease concerns. A scene once viewed remains with one.

    Sorry, but it isn't Lawrence Of Arabia. If anyone else knows the answer, and is holding back supplying it at present, perhaps you could reveal it as it would certainly appear an answer isn't going to be forthcoming.

    Some clues then..

    C11. Set in Asia.

    C12.  A Shane connection.

    You cant really count on color as a clue.  Stills from color films are usually black and white, while lobby cards for b/w films are often colorized.  Usually in garish and wrong colors

    Correct. It is a pity that this film isn't that well known today.

     C11 is a British film titled North West Frontier from 1959. A big budget British  film for that period of time, and is a most enjoyable film to view..





    When this film was released in the U.S.A. .in 1960 the title was changed to Flame Over India.

     The following U.S. poster has Lauren Bacall's name billed first over Kenneth More, and her image more prominently displayed on the American poster.
     





  •  C13 C14
     C15
     C16

    Another four images, of which three of the films are highly regarded as being  classic films from the Golden Years Of Hollywood. The remaining one possibly will be harder to identify, unless of course you have seen the film.

    Everyone more than welcome to participate here.
  • C14 Key Largo
  • C16.  Night of the hunter...man need to rewatch this one, has been too long!
  • Sven said:
    C14 Key Largo
    Yes indeed it is Key Largo from 1948. A wonderful performance by Claire Trevor that won her the Best Supporting Actress award for her role in this film.

     


    C16.  Night of the hunter...man need to rewatch this one, has been too long!
    Correct.The Night Of The Hunter ( 1955 ) was  originally banned in Australia in 1956. A brilliant film directed by Charles Laughton, and the only feature film that he ever directed. I agree the film certainly deserves another viewing.

     

    A disturbing film, and the above images are from only two of many scenes from the film that remain in one's memory long after having viewed the film.

  • C13  Summer of 42.  Great coming of age film
  • C15 golf shoes remind of Kiss me Deadly, but I can't recall that actual shot
  • John R should be able to get the last one... ;)

    Me too!  This film visually left such an imprint on my memory too...

    Summer Of '42 ( 1971 ) it is indeed. One of the better films produced for this genre of film.




  • Sven said:

    Not Kiss me Deadly, but an image of this film is currently waiting in a queue and will make an appearance here sometime in the future.

    John R should be able to get the last one... 
    Agree, but if not a great clue for C15 has been given.
  •   While we hopefully await an answer for C15, another three film images to solve. 


     C17 C18 C19
  • C17 LA Confidential
  • C18 Bridges of Madison County
  • edited September 2022
    Hopefully this slightly extended image for C19 may assist.


  • C19 Dr Strangelove
  • C17 LA Confidential
    Correct. L.A. Confidential was a 1997 release. Great performances by Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe.




    Sven said:
    C18 Bridges of Madison County
    Correct. The Bridges Of Madison County was a 1995 release.

     

    Sven said:
    C19 Dr Strangelove

    Sorry Sven but it isn't Dr Strangelove. Very close in one way though.

  • C19 The Longest Day
  • Sven said:
    C19 The Longest Day

    Not The Longest Day. The film in question to be identified is not a war film, but is a political thriller.







  • A final clue above  for the unanswered earlier posted C15 image.
