This week’s movie has been the 1949 film “Obsession,” or as it is sometimes known “The Hidden Room.” It was directed by Edward Dmytryk in England while he was blacklisted in Hollywood and stars Robert Newton (Friday’s mystery chap), Sally Gray (Thursday’s mystery woman), Naunton Wayne (Monday’s mystery chap), Phil Brown (Wednesday’s mystery chap) and Olga Lindo (Tuesday’s mystery woman). It was written by Alec Coppel from his book “A Man About a Dog.” Photographed by C. Pennington-Richards, wWith music by Nino Rota.
And for Monday, a mystery chap.
This is Naunton Wayne.
And for Tuesday, we have this mystery woman. Ignore Back of the Head Guy, although he is our leading man.
This is Olga Lindo.
Please congratulate Jenny M., Mike Hawks (now back online!), Lee Ann, Megan and Thom, Victor H. Brown and dlhartzog for identifying Monday’s mystery fellow.
And for Wednesday, a mystery bloke.
This is Phil Brown, whom you may remember as Uncle Owen in the first “Star Wars” picture.
Please congratulate dlhartzog (mystery movie and guests) and Dan Nather (Monday’s mystery chap).
For Thursday, we have Wednesday’s mystery chap, sans beard, with a mystery lady. And my, they don’t look cheery, do they? In fact, they have just been caught in a compromising situation by our mystery leading man, who returned unexpectedly from an out-of-town trip – with a gun. Oh dear.
This is Sally Gray and Phil Brown.
Dlhartzog has identified Wednesday’s mystery chap.
And for Friday, here is our mystery doctor, who tells Monday’s police inspector that he will not bite down on this poison capsule, but instead face the justice system.
And Arnold Schwarzenegger in “Kindergarten Cop.”
Please congratulate dlhartzog (Thursday’s mystery guest), Lee Ann, Megan And Thom (mystery movie and guests) and Jenny M (mystery movie and guests).

Is this Naunton Wayne? He and Basil Radford would turn up in the craziest collection of movies as the same two characters, Chalders and Caldicott. Very funny in that understated British way.

Oops–I’ve been reminded it is Charters and Caldicott, not Chalders and Caldicott. These old grey brain synapses of mine are becoming an embarassment!

May I take a wild guess–is the mystery movie “Passport to Pimlico”? I’ll leave my fellow Daily Mirror Midwest Chapter members out of this just in case I am totally off!

Alas, very cold.

Alas, indeed. I thought it was the scene in “Passport to Pimlico” when the British government sends our mystery star and his fellow bureaucrat out to negotiate with the Burgundians. I frequently jump to unwise conclusions without the steadying influence of the other Chapter members!
