Guess the Movie

[Swatopluk]

I'll see what I can do

[Bluenose]

I thought that someone all ready guessed Ice Station Zebra!

sorry, missed the last lot of posts.  Your guess is correct. I don't think anyone guessed that already.

[Opsa]

Maybe I thought I all ready had!

I missed the clue. I don't mean I didn't know it was a clue. I mean I didn't see it until after the film was guessed. However, this makes not a jot of difference, so I don't know why I am even mentioning it. I never guess films though I do usually inspect the stills.

[Swatopluk]

A major problem is that by choice of film the winner is in essence pre-selected. From the experience until now I have drawn the conclusion that I cannot use films from Asia or Scandinavia because they are either unknown or there is a single residential expert (or expert couple). British films seem to be almost totally off (even more so with beagle's departure). I have few films from South America at hand (and it would pose the same problem as with Sweden or Korea). In essence only American US talkies remain and even there I have encountered some surprising failures (why did no one know Kiss me Deadly for example???). And I know that anything from TV that I have meets with bewilderment (cf. Primeval).It It is also always the problem that once one shows recognisable actors the solution is a matter of at best minutes.

OK, let's have a try
It's neither Star Wars nor Lawrence of Arabia
(and not Moby Dick)

[Opsa]

No matter. It's fun, anyway.

Okay, I see period piece. There is a lady holding a little girl with a doll. The people in the wagon look like mannequins, but maybe that's just historically correct use of powder by the French or English? How am I doing so far?

[Swatopluk]

No makeup expert but there are other reasons to put up a strong one.
That doll plays a crucial role (but not like in The Night of the Hunter )

[Opsa]

I don't think I've seen this movie, but it looks cool. Can't wait to find out the title.

The Entertainer?

or

Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?

[Swatopluk]

Neither.
Isn't the former in b/w?
I have heard of the second but thought it was a play.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I've seen the lady with gloves somewhere, but I can't place her.

[Swatopluk]

Can't help you there. I cannot even remember where in the film this character shows up.
