Yes, this week’s mystery movie was “Crash Dive” with Tyrone Power, Anne Baxter and Dana Andrews.

And for Monday, these two young ladies are giving curious looks to our leading man and leading lady.

Tuesday’s mystery admiral is having a chat with our leading man, who is his nephew.

On Wednesday, our heroes get their picture on the front page. If you Google the headline (you know who you are) you will find a detailed critique of everything that is historically inaccurate about our mystery film. It’s pretty funny.

I’m always impressed by the knowledge of the Daily Mirror Brain Trust. Based on Tuesday’s mystery fellow, our mystery movie and cast were identified by Patrick, Julie Merholz, Mary Mallory, Jenny M and Herb Nichols. Congrats!

And for Thursday, we have a mystery chef.

Please congratulate Don Danard (mystery movie and cast), Mary Mallory (Wednesday’s mystery leading man), Valley Dave (mystery movie and cast), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and cast) and Floyd Thursby (mystery movie and Wednesday’s leading man).

For Friday, our leading lady has some explaining to do.

Please congratulate Mary Mallory (Thursday’s mystery gent), Patrick (Thursday’s mystery gent), Don Danard (Thursday’s mystery gent), Dennis Gilliam (mystery movie and Thursday’s mystery gent), Mike Hawks (Thursday’s mystery gent) and Barbara Klein (mystery movie and Thursday’s mystery gent).

And to be complete here is Dana Andrews….

'Crash Dive'

And I thought I’d skip James Gleason, since he was a mystery guest two weeks ago in “Forty Naughty Girls.”

    This mystery photo thing is getting harder and harder. Who are we looking to identify, these two little girls or the stars who aren’t in the photo? If it is the two girls we can only take a WAG:
    Margaret O’Brien and Jane Withers.

  18. Today’s Navy Cook is Ben Carter. Although the IMDB cast list is problematic, I will go with Crash Dive, 1943, when Technicolor movies were still uncommon.

    For the record: yes, I am embarrassed that it often takes me until Friday to “guess” correctly…oh, that I would “know”! Here we have Dana Andrews on the right and sweet little Eve Harrington looking over his shoulder…in that era they never looked one another in the eye? Why? Was it believed that it “looked” right? Odd that something so wrong reads as right.
