And for Monday, a mystery gent.
And for Tuesday, a dapper mystery gent.
Please congratulate Stacia for identifying our mystery film! Please congratulate Michael Ryerson, Megan, Floyd Thursby, Jenny M, Julie Merholz, William, Mary Mallory, Claire Lockhart, Mike Hawks, Veronica, Don Danard, LC, Patrick, Bob Hansen, Kevin King, Rick Scott and James Curtis for identifying yesterday’s mystery chap.
Bob Hansen says: That’s the great XXXX, who seems to have been in every movie made between 1935 and 1950.
Our mystery gent for Wednesday has a newsboy cap!
Please congratulate Claire Lockhart and Patrick for identifying our movie! Please congratulate Don Danard, Jenny M, Patrick, Julie Merholz (right actor, wrong movie), Sarah (ditto), Robert S. Levinson, Rick Scott and Dewey Webb for identifying Tuesday’s mystery chap.
Herb Nichols and Gary Martin identified Monday’s and Tuesday’s mystery folks.
Stacia and Patrick have identified the back of a mystery person’s head in Monday’s photo!
Don Danard says: Tuesday’s Mystery Photo is XXXXX ….no doubt going “Harrumph, Harrumph!”
Yes, I know, too easy, but it’s such a fun picture I couldn’t resist.
Please congratulate Mary Mallory, ValleDave, Julie Merholz, LC and Dewey Webb for identifying our mystery movie and cast.
Also: Mike Hawks (Tuesday/Wednesday), Patrick (Wednesday), Don Danard (Wednesday), Jenny M (right actor, wrong film for Wednesday).
This has given me an idea. Maybe one week I’ll run nothing but the backs of people’s heads! Everyone did such a good job on Monday.
Speaking of the backs of people’s heads, this was the next scene. Notice the big fur coat.
Our mystery movie and cast have been identified by Don Danard, Gary Martin, Dennis Gilliam, Julie Merholz, William, Mike Hawks and Rick Scott.
Mary Mallory says: A nice likeness, but it doesn’t look too much like XXX.
Patrick says: Wonderful rendition of XXXX on Thursday. Wish I could sit in the orchestra section at Disney Hall for $5.00!
