And this is Václav Neckár
Please congratulate Mary Mallory (mystery movie), Mike Hawks (mystery movie and guests), dlhartzog (mystery movie), Patrick (Thursday’s mystery guest) and Jenny M (mystery movie). Partial credit to Diane Ely for when (but not where) the movie was made. It’s a period piece with some anachronisms.

Jitka Bendova and Jitka Zelenohorska in Closely Watched Trains from 1966.

My movie sense says “probably from the ’60s,” but beyond that, I’m drawing a blank . . .

it looks like the 1960s, but I didn’t know that was something we could guess.

Tuesday’s pretty girl is Jitka Zelenohorska in CLOSELY WATCHED TRAINS [1966]. The insignias on Mon and Wed were the giveaway. ps She’d make a good Jackie O.

I rarely do foreign films, so this was a curve ball, but I am trying to keep a broad mix of mystery movies.
