The Alternate Movie Title Game (Kirk Douglas Edition)

Here are the rules: We will provide an "alternate title" for a Kirk Douglas film and ask you to name the actual film. Most of these are pretty easy. Please answer no more than three questions per day so others can play. You may have an answer other than the intended one--just be able to defend it!

1. Einar in Love.

2. Carnival.

3. The 21st Precinct.

4. Whiskey and Burns.

5. To Tell Jocelyn?

6. Nightingale for Senate.

7. Esmeralda and Me.

8. Saboteurs in the Snow.

9. The Magic Note.

10. Build My Gallows High.

11. Gloves of Steel.

12. Timber Baron.

13. Tribute to a Bad Man.

14. The Exploding Head.

15. Doyle & Long.

    1. Nice job! Lonely Are the Brave and The Vikings are two of my favorite Kirk Douglas movies.

    2. Agreed. They are two of my favorites as well, along with 20,000. I'm very fond of #15, as well. It's a lot of fun, but I don't think many are familiar with it.

    1. Correct on all three (as always), Patrick. Detective Story is seriously underrated and needs to be shown more often.

    6. Posse

    11. Champion
