[IndecentLouie]

@Frindis you was close as it was another Stephen King Book, @I Will Haunt You is correct.

Sunset Boulevard? I have no clue, lol.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)

Sunset Boulevard? I have no clue, lol.

No on both accounts. It's a bit earlier in the 1940s than '46.

 

[IndecentLouie]

@I Will Haunt You clue? like what type of movie it is

 

[I Will Haunt You]

It's a drama. Didn't do well in the box office.

 

[Frindis]

Citizen Kane? It's the only movie I remember from that decade that did badly at the box office but was later recognized as one of the greatest movies of all time.

 

[I Will Haunt You]

Citizen Kane?

It is! Who knew a simple "did bad at the box office" would be a give away clue? Not me, obviously.

[IndecentLouie]

@Frindis The Shootist?

 

[Frindis]

That is correct!🙂 The last movie John Wayne starred in and a very good one too.

@Frindis fantastic movie, i'll have to rewatch it this weekend 🙂

 

[Frindis]

@IndecentLouie I find it quite sad to learn that John Wayne played a character with cancer in The Shootist and himself dying from it just a few years after filming.

 

[IndecentLouie]

@Frindis it is sad and quite ironic also. cancer is a hell of a thing, my aunt died of it 4 months ago today.

 

[Frindis]

@IndecentLouie Sorry to hear that. You have my condolences.

 

[IndecentLouie]

@Frindis thanks mate, ah no worries it is what it is.
I've posted a screenshot in case you haven't seen it 🙂

 

[Frindis]

Noticed, but no idea on that one. I think I have seen her before though (she is very beautiful) but as for her name, that I do not remember.

 

[Pifanjr]

Casablanca?

I haven't seen that many black and white movies.

 

[IndecentLouie]

@Pifanjr it came out a few years after Casablanca, good guess though.

If no one gets it by tonight i'll say the movie and let someone else have a go.

 

[IndecentLouie]

@Frindis she is very beautiful, I love the way she looks and talks in the movie.

 

[indigit5l]
