  • X73 - Quebec - 1951. Took me a while searching through lists of Technicolor films to get this!
    Correct and well searched out.

     
  • . X74
    A couple of surely recognisable faces to many that should assist in finding the correct. answer.,
  • Isn't X74 The Hitchhiker? That is a well regarded noir I keep meaning to find, but haven't yet.

    It is The Hitch-Hiker from 1953.

     I have viewed the film in the past, and I can thoroughly recommend this tense little thriller, excellently directed by actress Ida Lupino. William Talman is terrific as the villain.

    Interestingly the above American poster artwork was used in an original Australian newspaper advertisement, which wasn't the normal thing to occur. 
  •  X75
    Another film image to challenge you.
  • Nobody seems to be jumping in, so...
    Dr Blood's Coffin (1961)
    Good Sat night drive in stuff

    Correct for X75. The lovely Hazel Court being menanced below.

       
    The above Australian Doctor Blood's Coffin daybill, due to Australian censorship guidelines was a very toned down poster indeed.
     


  •  X76
    Some obscure good time rock 'n roll this time around.
  • Not that obscure
    Go Johnny Go (1959)
    A good lighthearted showcase for rock n roll artists Chuck Berry, Richie Valens, Jackie Wilson and Eddie Cochran

    Correct for X76. Good one. I had thought that if anyone would know this film it would be my musical man.

    Joann Campbell was the featured artist in the scene.

  •  X77
    Probably the most unusual, and also the most challenging image featured here to date.
  • X77 is Vicki. I only knew this because I recently auction a still of Aaron Spelling with his then wife Carolyn Jones. In researching it I learned he had been an actor for many years before becoming a legendary producer. Vicki was one of his movies.

    Correct. Vicki was a 1953 release. Good one Bruce.

     
  •  X78  X79
    Let's see how you fare with this four legged image selection
  • X79 is Lady Godiva of Coventry
  • edited September 2023
    jayn_j said:

    Correct and well worked out. Lady Godiva Of Coventry ( aka Lady Godiva ) from 1955.

                                                                                                                                        As I am sure this image for X78 is too obscure to be able to find the answer for, a clue then is war hero. 
  • A further X78 clue is that the film is a 1950's colour western. If you combine this information with my earlier war hero clue it should be possible to work out the answer,
  • That implies Audie Murphy.  He made 2 westerns in the 1950s.  Destry and Ride a Crooked Trail.  Looking at images, I am guessing Ride a Crooked Trail

    O.k., you have correctly worked out that the actor mentioned in my clue is Audie Murphy, but it isn't the correct name of the film. Hopefully we are on our way though to solving the film's title.

    I need to point out that Audie Murphy made 18 western movies, plus one film set during the Civil War, in the 1950s. With the exception of one western film Cast A Lomg Shadow and the Civil War film The Red Badge Of Courage, the remaining 17 films were made in colour.
  • No Audie Murphy or western film fans here?

  • no idea I'm afraid
  • edited September 2023
    Seeing that this one would appear to have been doomed from the very start, I will now reveal the film title for X78 to be Tumbleweed ( 1953 ).

    Audie Murphy rarely rode a gray horse in his many western films. He was a horse lover and a very accomplished rider.

     
     


  •   X79
    Back with a more popular genre entry with this one.
  • X79 Macabre (1958) lc #5
  • jayn_j said:
    X79 Macabre (1958) lc #5
    Correct. Willian Castle's first film that used a gimmick in it's promotion.





  •  X80
    Let's keep the more popular genre films rolling along.
