Guess the Movie

I thought it was Zola who had that fatal ventilation problem with his fireplace.

Girls seeking employment can become desperate.

"Desperate Housewives - the Movie that Started it All"?

[beagle]

With the lightning symbol stuff and the posters it looks like a fascist dystopia set in England, but the only one of those I know is McKellen's Richard III (and it's certainly not that).

So I'll go with either Kiyo's Desperate Housewives or Pop Idol.

(P.S. Gabrielle has let herself go).

[Swatopluk]

Desperate (for work) Nurse would be the actual topic.

Could it be "Hitler's Victory" or "Hitler's Britain"?

If not, I'm out of ideas. Like I ever had an idea...

[Swatopluk]

The movie title is actually an adaption of a famous American book title turned positive.

Rats. I should know this. Haven't seen the film but that last fictional picture is quite famous, like the (real) one of a U-Boat sailing up the Thames (fortunately after the war and flying the White Ensign).

Seeing as am on lunchbreak at work don't think I'll start Googling for Nazi Britain stuff. That can be hard to explain at your annual appraisal.

A few hints to sorting out duds: the film was started by teenagers and Kubrick donated filmstock.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Ok, the Kubrick hint gave it away I think:

"It Happened Here"

Had to google though. Hope I'm right.

[Swatopluk]

Indeed. I plan to review it in the appropriate thread once I get the secondary literature.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Great. I finally got a movie right.

[Swatopluk]

Are those people blacks carrying blocks of ice through the prairie/savannah?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

Yes indeed.

[Swatopluk]

Hm, Satartia is a town in Mississippi.

Oh Brother where art thou?

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

That was way too fast.

Your turn again.
