As always, please answer no more than three questions per day so more people can play and have fun. Try not to research your answers as it'd be pretty easy to google the plot and get a film's title. Note that all these movies are connected...and it's a pretty obvious connection.
1. A troubled con artist with deep childhood trauma is forced into marriage.
2. A timid young woman marries a wealthy widower and moves into his imposing estate.
3. A French intelligence agent uncovers a Soviet spy ring operating inside NATO.
4. A man wrongly accused of murder goes on the run with the only witness who can clear him.
5. A small New England town becomes entangled in the mystery of a dead man.
6. A respected lawyer defends a beautiful woman accused of murdering her husband.
7. A mysterious killer stalks the fog‑shrouded streets of London.
8. An American crime reporter is sent to Europe on the eve of World War II and stumbles into a sprawling conspiracy.
9. A carefree married couple discovers their union was never legally valid.
10. A bomb on a bus.
11. It takes place in Quebec City in Canada.
12. A phony psychic and her cab‑driver boyfriend get into trouble.
13. A newly arrived Irishman in 1830s Australia who becomes entangled in the dark secrets of a troubled aristocratic household.
14. Is a shy heiress's new husband trying to kill her?
15. The Necktie Murderer.

I could get most of these without a hitch, but I’ll just say 13 is “Under Capricorn,” because I think it’s a film more people should see.

DeleteWell pun! And you are correct, of course.
Delete1. Marnie
ReplyDelete2. Rebecca
3. Topaz
Great job on the first three!
Delete10. Speed.
ReplyDelete15. Frenzy
#15 is Frenzy, but #10 is not Speed. All the movies are connected in some way and that is why Speed is incorrect (even though it's about a bomb on a bus).
Delete7. Hangover Square (1945) and/or Lured (1947)
ReplyDelete11. I Confess (1953)
#11 is I Confess, but #7 is not Hangover Square or Lured. The key to the correct answer is how all the movies are related.
ReplyDeleteNow I get it (I think). Since I goofed on number 10, I'll go with Number 5 is The Trouble With Harry.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are correct!
Delete8 is Foreign Correspondent
ReplyDelete14 is Suspicion
Great job, Kayla!
Delete#6 Witness for the Prosecution
ReplyDelete#12 Family Plot
#12 is correct, but #6 is not Witness for the Prosecution. The key is the connection between the movies.
Delete5. The Trouble with Harry
ReplyDelete6. The Paradine Case
7. The Lodger
These are correct! Well done. (They do count as your three guesses today.)
DeleteStill looking for answers for 4, 9, and 10.
ReplyDelete4. Saboteur
ReplyDeleteIt's not Saboteur, because he's not traveling with a witness.
DeleteIs #9 Mr. And Mrs. Smith?
ReplyDeleteYes, it is!
DeleteNo. 4 sounds like "The 39 Steps" to me.
ReplyDelete-- Don Effenberger
No, the woman traveling with the protagonist is not a witness who can clear him.
Delete10. Sabotage
ReplyDeleteYes, Sabotage! And this is one scene that Hitchcock says was a mistake.
Delete4 Young and Innocent
ReplyDelete9 Mr. & Mrs. Smith
10 Sabotage
Thomas, #9 and #10 were answered above--but you are the first to correctly guess Young and Innocent for #4!
DeleteThat completes this game. Thanks to everyone who played!
