This is “Make Way for Tomorrow,” an unusual and quite sentimental movie.

And for Monday, we have this dapper mystery chap.

Update: I’m on a research road trip this morning. I’ll update the mystery photo this afternoon.

And for Tuesday, another mystery fellow.

Please congratulate Don Danard and Mike Hawks for identifying Monday’s mystery gent.

And for Wednesday, we have Oh … Her. It’s too bad she never teamed up with Edgar Kennedy, they could have spent the entire picture doing slow burns at one another. At least I don’t recall them ever teaming up.

Please congratulate Patrick for identifying our mystery movie and cast.

For Thursday, Wednesday’s mystery woman has a mystery companion, who is a bit more difficult to recognize without his mustache.

Please congratulate Sarah (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Patrick (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Don Danard (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and cast), LC (Wednesday’s mystery woman) and Floyd Thursby (Wednesday’s mystery woman).

If you would like a hint, email me.
