I'm pretty sure 224 is a comedy, not a horror, but I can't place it.

Correct thinking. As hinted at with one of my clues the film isn't the genre that it would appear to be. The film has been listed by IMDb as being a combination of comedy, drama and romance.

As I hopefully wait for an answer to arrive for C224, four more new film images follow below.

C229

C230

C231

C228 has to be Dial M For Murder (1954). I love all the related images.

It certainly is the Hitchcock classic. I try to be a little creative occasionally with the image presentation.

C229, Ransom?

dedeposter · April 2023

C224 - no idea but keep thinking of films like The Great Race or What's Up Doc? Apart from that I have nothing!

C229, Ransom?

Yes it is the 1956 version of Ransom!

A final clue is that the scene takes place in France,

Bruce said:

.

HONDO · April 2023

As it would certainly appear that image C224 has stumped everyone, I would think it is time to reveal that the answer is Two For The Road from 1967.

Holidaying in the south of France were Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney's characters.

Two for the Road 1967 - Turner Classic Movies

Ye it is, and congratulations on coming up with the correct answer this time around, Sorry Wrong Number from 1948 was based on an earlier successful 1943 radio play broadcast.

C231

And then there was one. A clue is - together ... but then also not together.

C231 Gun Crazy ?

Thanks for having a guess, but it isn't that one.

A clue is that both the leading actor and actress won Best Actor and Best Actress Academy awards in two different films earlier in the decade of when this film was released.

A final clue for C231 is a critical call for help.

Bruce · April 2023

Is C231 The Slender Thread?

HONDO · April 2023

Bruce said:

Is C231 The Slender Thread?

It is The Slender Thread from 1965. It wouldn't have been the easiest image to identity, so well worked out.

Correct. A now obscure film to many, so a vintage musical film fan we perhaps have here in our midst.

The following two poster images were previously shown in the forum's Musical Film Quiz in November 2020, They were displayed in connection with another different King Of Jazz image that was included there at that time.
