This week's host is last week's winner: Tom from Motion Picture Gems.
As a reminder, here are the rules:
1. You may ask up to five yes or no questions a day. Each guess does count as one question.
2. Please number each question or each guess to make it easier for me to respond to them.
3. The player who is the first to guess the movie correctly will be the one to make the selection for the following week’s Name the Movie Game.
4. The game will end on Saturday night if the movie is not guessed before then.
I am thinking of a movie made in the 1950s.

ReplyDeleteTom, I knew you would choose a title that would baffle us! I am so exhausted from trying to figure this one out. Thanks for coming up with a brain-numbing challenge, and thanks to all the other posters whose questions helped to narrow down the possibilities. The clue about one of the leads dying last year was of immense help.
