C124

Two scenes from a couple of classic films. I am thinking one should be much easier to answer than the other..

HONDO · November 2022

C122 clue is that it is a Powell and Pressburger production that is a mixture of ballet and opera. Shouldn't be too hard to come up with the answer I would have thought.

C123 The scenery should be a massive clue to figure out the title of this film even if you haven't seen it. I am surprised no one has managed to come up with the answer so far.

C124 is certainly a film that definitely doesn't appeal to everyone's taste.The harder of the three images to identify from the image displayed.

HONDO · December 2022

C122 final clue is a famous Australian is a cast member.

Final clue for C123 is that there is also a traditional song with a similar title.

C124 final additional image clue. This one is difficult I have to admit.

C124 The Silence of the Lambs

Correct I had thought that this one wouldn't have been an easy one to answer, so well done. The Silence Of the Lambs from 1991,

HONDO · December 2022

Despite many clues, and after six days being unanswered, image C122 would certainly appear that it will not be answered.

I will now reveal the answer to be Tales of Hoffmann from 1951.

I never saw it. I love Powell and Pressburger. Do you recommend it?

Hard to say, though if you like Powell and Pressburger in their glory fays you will most likely appreciate it.

The following section of a review of the film posted on IMDb sums the film up most likely better than I would.
Certainly THE TALES OF HOFFMANN is not a film for everyone. It's done as pure opera with singing throughout and performed as a ballet with lavish set designs and breathtaking use of Technicolor. It won Oscar nominations for Set Decoration and Color and is produced in the tasteful style of all Powell and Pressburger films.

HONDO · December 2022

C125

C126

A couple more images to have a think about. A clue for C126 is forget about who the pictured actress may be, and concentrate on the background scenery and what else could be happening in the scene. .

C125 The Collector, a very disturbing movie. Kind of like William Wyler's Peeping Tom.

Bruce said:

Correct, The Collector from 1965. I have never viewed Peeping Tom as it certainly looked too disturbing to me.

I believe that you had meant to say Michael Powell's Peeping Tom, and not William Wyler who was the director of The Collector.

Bruce · December 2022

Yes, I mean The Collector was to Wyler what Peeping Tom was to Powell. Both movies turned off many of their most die-hard fans.

C128

Let's see how we fare with these two images from very well known films..

theartofmovieposters · December 2022

c127. To Sir With Love, darn it I love that movie! Genius man that he was on screen...

Rick · December 2022

There was a Greyhound bus in Elvis' Tickle Me, but it might be a stretch to call it a classic movie!

theartofmovieposters said:

c127. To Sir With Love, darn it I love that movie! Genius man that he was on screen...

Correct. To Sir With Love from 1967. A fine actor. 1967 was a great year for him aritistically and at the box office. Along with To Sir, With Love there was also In The Heat Of The Night and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner.

Two films I fondly remember him in are No Way Out ( 1950 ) and Edge Of The City ( aka A Man Is Ten Feet Tall ) from 1957.

There is music in the film that image C128 displays, but it is music of a completely different style that is performed in this film..

jayn_j · December 2022

C128 High Society, a favorite of mine. Retelling of the arguably better The Philidelphia Story, but the musical combo of Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong make this a classic

HONDO · December 2022

Correct. Anatomy of a Murder from 1959.

Who could forget the lovely Lee Remick's other great roles, including playing Eula in The Long Hot Summer ( 1958 ), and as an alcoholic in Days of Wine and Roses ( 1962 ).
