This is the 1972 film “Pulp,” starring Michael Caine.
Notice that imdb is not always reliable: “Michael King is a seedy writer of sleazy pulp genre novels under a half dozen sensational pseudonyms whose ambition is to dictate 10,000 words per minute to stenographers a la Earle Stanley Gardner.”
I thought that after a couple of Lon Chaney silents, we should do something more contemporary. So, yes, our mystery fellow appears in color … and there’s sound!
And for Tuesday, we have this mystery gent.
Please congratulate Patrick, Benito and Floyd Thursby for identifying our mystery movie and mystery chap.
Our mystery movie does have a sense of humor.
And for Wednesday, two shots of our mystery woman (this movie was made in the era of big hair, obviously).
Please congratulate Mary Mallory (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Patrick (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Julie Merholz (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Don Danard (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Wally Seely (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Michael Ryerson (mystery movie and cast), Rick (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Dewey Webb (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Floyd Thursby (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Roget-L.A. (Mystery movie and cast), Gary Martin (Tuesday’s mystery chap), David Inman (Tuesday’s mystery chap), LC (mystery movie and cast), Greg Clancy (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Barbara Klein (Tuesday’s mystery chap), Bob Hansen (Tuesday’s mystery chap) and Rick Scott (Tuesday’s mystery chap).
Note to Floyd Thursby: All in good time, all in good time.
OK, Mr. Thursby, this (totally not) mystery woman is for you. (That’s Floyd Thursby, not Keith!). I have cropped out Back of the Head Guy, for which I am sure everyone is grateful.
Please congratulate Patrick (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Roget-L.A. (Wednesday’s mystery woman), Jenny M (mystery movie and cast), Michael Ryerson (Wednesday’s mystery woman) and Mike Hawks (Tuesday’s mystery chap). Mr. Ryerson, this was shot before camcorders existed. That’s a Super 8 movie camera!
As you must realize, I was in a quandary as to which star I would feature for Friday. Here’s what I decided.
Please congratulate Patrick (Thursday’s mystery woman), Mary Mallory (mystery movie and cast), Michael Ryerson (Thursday’s mystery woman), Don Danard (mystery movie and cast), Julie Merholz (mystery movie and cast), Roget-L.A. (Thursday’s mystery woman), Gary Martin (mystery movie and cast), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and cast) and Barbara Klein (mystery movie and cast).

Monday brings us the colorful and talkative Leopoldo Trieste who played the hapless landlord in Godfather 2. This still is from “Pulp” from 1972 which also starred Michael Caine and the recently departed Mickey Rooney.

Oh my gosh, is Mr. Monday Leopoldo Trieste? Who did such a wonderful turn in Godfather? Lol. That’s great. That makes the movie ‘Pulp’ (1972) with Michael Caine, Mickey Rooney, Lizabeth Scott, Al Lettieri (another great Godfather alum) and the gamin-like Nadia Cassini.

On Thursday a no-longer youthful Lizabeth Scott proves that, all things being equal, ‘good bones’ prevail. And are you saying there’s no chance Nadia was camcording in anticipation of the invention of the tape deck? Besides there’s little poetry in ‘Super-8ing’.
