    Sorry C48 isn't The Big Sleep. Don't think traditional crime / film noir as it is completely different genre


    Spot on with Kiss Me Deadly ( 1955 ) though. I had you in mind when I included this image, so glad that you answered it Sven. The girl in the image is a young Cloris Leachman in her first theatrical film role.

    Correct. King Creole from 1958. I am sure Rick would know this one as well. Elvis and Kitty White performing the impressive Crawfish musical number together.

    You apparently must have overlooked it Bruce but C51 is Kiss Me Deadly which was answered correctly by Sven yesterday.
  • HONDOHONDO



    C48 clue is that sometimes things aren't exactly what they appear to be.




    C49 clue that is this is from the end sequence from a much loved classic film.
  • HONDOHONDO
    While one perhaps still thinks about trying to identify the names of the C48 and C49 images,  here are two more hopefully easier film scenes that someone should be able to recognize. 

             
         C52  C53                                                                                                               
  • SvenSven
    C53 Them! 
  • jayn_jjayn_j
    C52 is Storm Warning (1951)   But I used image search.  Never seen it, but I will try and find it
  • HONDOHONDO
    Sven said:
    C53 Them! 
    Correct. Them! from 1954.

    Correct. A well made film worth seeking out.

     
  • HONDOHONDO
    C48 final clue is a terrific performance from an actress who had not too long in the past played a completely different type of mother.

    C49 final clue is a comedy film.
  • HONDOHONDO
    Some great crime / film noir images coming up shortly. 


  • jayn_jjayn_j
    Is C49 Some Like it Hof?  The final scene clue with Lemon and Joe E Brown on yacht

    It certainly is Some Like It Hot from 1959. What a great film from master dIrector Billy Wilder.

    A much darker film than The Sound Of Musiic.

    C48 The Manchurian Candidate, but I cheated.

    C49 - I never would have gotten and I adore that film!  Well done Jay

    C48 is indeed The Manchurian Candidate from 1962,  

    Printed on the below poster is . Anyone who hasn't seen this film or read anything about it, will be I am sure confused about the following two images. If this happens to be the case  I recommend these people view this excellent film to find out the story behind the two different images.

  • HONDOHONDO
     C54  C55 C56  C57

    Four crime / film noir images that I am hoping will be able to  identified. I find the most interesting images originate from this genre of film.
  • jayn_jjayn_j
    Not my genre, so I'll sit out
  • SvenSven
    C57 White Heat ?

    Sorry not White Heat.

    C55 The Killers
  • HONDOHONDO
    theartofmovieposters said:
    C55 The Killers
    Well done. It is The Killers from 1946 with Sam Levene and Burt Lancaster in the image scene.


  • theartofmovieposterstheartofmovieposters
    C54  I guess Narrow Margin, but I have no idea.  Where is that Canadian when we need him.
  • HONDOHONDO

    You guessed correctly, so well done, The Narrow Margin from 1952, It is Charles McGraw's slightly distorted image that appears in my originally posted image.

     

     


  • HONDOHONDO
    I am now thinking that my enthusiasm for crime and film noir movies got me carried away somewhat, so some clues shouldn't now go astray here then. 

    C56  Opening sequence with a man sitting in a train carriage looking at oncoming train lights, which has a negative effect on him.

    C57 The film's main character on the run from the underworld in a large city.
  • theartofmovieposterstheartofmovieposters
    C56 Crack Up

    C57 Night and the City
