keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 22, 2020 The one at the end was always going to be a giveaway - hence the mixing up, as even if you could not quite see who 3 was, 4 would be the give away Anyone still unsure 4 is the actor Dudley Sutton - the late partner in 'crime' to Ian McShane Lovejoy, the program set in Anglia where according to the dialogue coaches, everyone talks "owarr, owarrr" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,562 Posted May 31, 2020 A one-off poser. A film from the early 1970s, with an image from the 1960s. One image for a one-word title: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other guesses which happened to be right, you'd ask me to name it! The P guess above is based on documentary I watched yesterday, yet it's a cryptic interpretation so might be wide of the mark again.

The P guess above is based on documentary I watched yesterday, yet it's a cryptic interpretation so might be wide of the mark again. Afraid not again! I would suggest, given that it is a one-word title, that if someone has an answer they do give it, rather than just the initial letter. May be one for KG, given it is probably his era...🤓 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will leave it there and if it hasn't been solved I will probably add it to a new batch of films and TV shows at the weekend, making sure there is nothing too modern or too outré...

We'd be too busy looking for the obscurer films and miss the obvious ones.😀 Not an obscure🤓 film, but there is something specific about the image, and without that it would be hard to work out the film.

Best for me to wait until someone gets it right, rather than saying 'No' every time...😜 I have already been too generous with clues, but I will say it is not a boxing film. However I will include a fisticuffs film at the weekend. Edited June 2, 2020 by PurpleCanary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
