ReplyDeleteOh dear...left with the tough ones! A wild guess :
ReplyDelete13. Beyond Christmas
A good guess, but no. TCM "rediscovered" it a couple of years ago.
Delete14. Trapped in Paradise.
ReplyDeleteAnother good guess, but this movie was made in the 1960s and almost all of it takes place in a bank run by a latter-day Scrooge.
Delete14. Cash on Demand
ReplyDeleteThat is right! A very good Hammer movie with Peter Cushing.
DeleteI cannot tell a lie I resorted to searching google for this one. I had seen it a long , long time ago but I didn't recall that it was set over Christmas , I was actually searching for the name of an American film where a gang was holding a small town bank managers wife and child hostage which I thought might have taken place at Christmas ,I still can't find the name of that one.
DeleteThat plot sounds familiar...hopefully, someone will know the name of that movie. CASH ON DEMAND is part of an excellent Hammer boxed set that includes THESE ARE THE DAMNED.
Delete13. The Cheaters.
ReplyDeleteHoo! Hoo! Well done, David. That wraps up this quiz.
DeleteFine, interesting quiz, as always. Thanks.
