This week’s mystery replacement movie was the 1951 Twentieth Century-Fox picture “Elopement,” starring Clifton Webb (Friday’s mystery feet), Anne Francis (not shown) Charles Bickford, William Lundigan (Wednesday’s mystery chaps), Reginald Gardiner (Thursday’s mystery gent), Evelyn Varden (Tuesday’s mystery woman) and Margalo Gillmore (Monday’s mystery woman). It was written by Bess Taffel (whom imdb identifies as Bess Boyle), with music by Cyril Mockridge, conducted by Lionel Newman, photographed by Joseph La Shelle and directed by Henry Koster.
On Sept. 18, 1951, Taffel, above, appeared before a House Un-American Activities Committee in the Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles during hearings on Communists in Hollywood. She refused to state whether she was a member of the Communist Party and she was subsequently blacklisted.
And for Monday, we have a mystery woman. We had originally planned an entirely different mystery movie, but that DVD came home from video rental shop with no audio. Not a sound.
Update: Margalo Gillmore.
For Tuesday, we have another mystery woman.
This is Evelyn Varden.
Please congratulate Howard Mandelbaum and Jenny M. for identifying Monday’s mystery woman. Jenny M. makes an interesting guess about the mystery film, but please remember that your suggested movie is in color (shown above), not black and white and we never, never convert color mystery photos to black and white.
This is Margalo Gillmore in “High Society.”
And for Wednesday we have these two semi-mysterious gents.
Please congratulate Mary Mallory (Tuesday’s mystery woman/wrong movie), Jenny M. (mystery movie, Tuesday’s mystery woman), Benito (Tuesday’s mystery woman), Dewey Webb (Monday’s and Tuesday’s mystery women), Patrick (mystery movie and mystery women), Rick (Monday’s mystery woman in Tuesday’s color photo) and Julie Merholz (Tuesday’s mystery woman).
Update: This is Charles Bickford and William Lundigan.
Thursday’s mystery chap appears all through the movie, but doesn’t get a single close-up, except for his feet. I’ve cropped out one of the mystery passengers because he’s too easy.
Please congratulate Mary Mallory (mystery movie and guests), Charles Kjelland (Wednesday’s mystery man/wrong movie), Julie Merholz (mystery movie and guests), Michael Ryerson (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Patrick (Wednesday’s mystery guests), Dewey Webb (mystery movie), brutii (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Chrisbo (Wednesday’s mystery gent/wrong movie), Jenny M (Wednesday’s mystery guests), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests),dlhartzog (Wednesday’s mystery guests), Floyd Thursby (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Benito (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), Gary Martin (Wednesday’s mystery guests), ValleyDave (mystery movie and mystery guests), Rick (mystery movie and Wednesday’s mystery guests), CraigDeco (Monday’s mystery woman) and Pat van Hartesveldt (Wednesday’s mystery gent).
Update: This is Reginald Gardiner.
And for Friday, we have the star of the picture, mystery feet guy. His face is too recognizable!
Please congratulate Mary Mallory (Thursday’s mystery chap), Patrick (Thursday’s mystery chap), Julie Merholz (Thursday’s mystery chap), Mike Hawks (Thursday’s mystery chap), Jenny M. (Thursday’s mystery chap), dlhartzog (Thursday’s mystery chap), Megan Lee Ann and Thom (mystery movie and mystery guests), Howard Mandelbaum (mystery movie and mystery guests), and LC (mystery movie and mystery guests).
This is Clifton Webb. His feet aren’t really as big as they appear. The next time you’re at Grauman’s take a look at his footprints.

Those two fellas in Wednesday’s delightful screenshot are not semi-mysterious to me! They are in two Noir films that have commentary by Eddie Muller, so I know them very well. (Fallen Angel and The House on Telegraph Hill)
The two gents are Charles Bickford and William Lundigan (in the tub). This film’s gotta be Elopement, which I have not yet seen. (I give my thanks to a special search page on IMDB where you can put in the name of two actors are see what films they were in together. Yeah, using it may be ‘cheating’ but you don’t have strict rules, do you sir?)
