ReplyDelete1. Lady in the Lake
10. In Like Flint
Both great movies, by the way. I want that phone from the Flint movies as my ringtone!
Very good! I googled the Z.O.W.I.E. ringtone...and, yes, it can be downloaded.
DeleteSome of my faves:
ReplyDelete#6: Road to Utopia
#7: The Wolf Man
#11: The Tall Target
Nice! I thought THE WOLF MAN and THE TALL TARGET might be toughies.
Delete"The Wolf Man" is our family's Hallowe'en tradition. Poor Larry!
DeleteI think "The Tall Target" is as fine a thriller as ever came out of Hollywood.
Very fun to read these!!

DeleteIs #4 Lady and the Tramp?
ReplyDeleteNo, it's not LADY AND THE TRAMP.
Delete8. The Chalk Garden
ReplyDeleteFun post!
Awesome, Toto! One of my favorite movies.
DeleteThe Chalk Garden! Of course! Funny, the only title that popped into my head was The Innocents, which I knew couldn't be right -- but at least with Deborah Kerr I was on the right track!
ReplyDeleteJust a quick summary of questions remaining to be answered: 4, 12, and 14.
ReplyDelete#4: The Case of the Howling Dog
ReplyDelete4. Secret Agent
ReplyDelete12. The Day the Earth Stood Still
I went back and peeked at your January posts because I remembered you had reviewed a Hitchcock film with the dog howling scene but I was unsure about the title. :)
Most impressive on both counts, Toto!
DeleteHe hid it in the clock: could also be Abbott and Costello's The Time of Their Lives
ReplyDeleteAn excellent point! (That may be my favorite A&C film--albeit a very different one for them.)
DeleteIt's near the top for me, too!
DeleteThe only answer not given is for #14.
