  • C486 answer is The Naked Jungle from 1954. It certainly proved to be a difficult one to find the answer for. I had thought that my South American  and plague clues would have helped.

     

     
  •  C487 C488
    There should be a fan or two that will be able to answer these two.

    Sorry but not that one. The answer is for a film released many decades earlier.


    Clue for C489 is master.

    Clue for C490 is appeared in two big western films and a popular long running western television series.
  • Another clue for C489 is considered one of the director's best films. I had thought that this image would have been easily recognised.

    Another clue for C490 is the actor appearing in the motor vehicle was earlier in his career attacked while filming on a film set by an animal and almost died from the injury that he received.

    I'm thinking Hitchcock but still doesn't ring a bell
    I will acknowledge that it is an Alfred Hitchcock film. Which one then is the problem to be solved?
    .
  • C489 - North by Northwest! How could I miss that? The crop duster sequence.


    Peter

     C490
    A final clue is a well regarded late 1940's film noir.

  • c490 Brute Force...after a little help from google.
  • c490 Brute Force...after a little help from google.
    Correct. Well done anyway. Brute Force from 1947.
     

    The actor in the posted image and that my clues referred to is Charles Bickford, One clue was for his work in Duel in The Sun (1946) and the Big Country (1958), and the television series The Virginian in the 1960s. He died November 9, 1967 and had appeared in 46 episodes of The Virginian that were released from 1962 to 1968.

    The other clue referred to Charles Bickford being attacked by a ''tame'' lion during the filming of East of Java (1931). The mauling footage from the film was used in the film's promotion.

  •  C491  C492
    Two scenes from films that I rate very highly.
  • Initially I was thinking C492 was Cabaret...but then I realised that C491 is Cabaret (1972), so I don't think it's both.

    Correct with C491 being Cabaret, C492  as suggested isn't a double up of me repeating the film.

    Michael York is seen below in the centre of the image.

     

    A clue for C492 is that this film, as well as Cabaret is set in times leading up to the start of World War 11, but taking place in another country.
  • I believe C492 is The Garden of the Finzi-Continis. I thought Shoeshine and Bicycle Thieves were two of the very best movies I ever saw, but I had trouble with this, likely because it was SO long and slow paced.

    But what do I know? I had the same problem with David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, and everyone else thinks it a masterpiece!

    Correct. The Garden Of the Finzi-Continis from 1970. I have to disagree with Bruce as I do think this  Italian  film to be an excellently crafted classic.

    When I screened the film at the film society that I was once involved in, the below Australian daybill that was being displayed in the theatre foyer was removed after the screening  and taken away  by someone who obviously liked this film. The only time that a poster was ever taken after a screening,

      

    I do thoroughly agree with Bruce though about Lawrence Of Arabia. This film is much, much too long in duration and I personally wouldn't call it a masterpiece.
  •  C493  C494
    Someone surely should recognise these two new entries.
  • C493 is The Magnificent 7

  • C493 is The Magnificent 7

    Correct. The Magnificent Seven from 1960. Eli Wallach and Valentin de Vargas appear in the below scene 




  • C494 clue is a well regarded western film that stars a legendary actress,.
