X -- Heck with it. We've got 2 Ws.

Small-time blackmailers try to step up to bigger money with a kindapping. Thing go badly when a woman blunders into the scene and is killed. They later find they have killed the wife of an important man. It later becomes significent that the snatch was jumped farward and done a day earlier than planned. Someone in the crew is working a seperate agenda.

'Scratch, Mr.' -- Walter Huston in *The Devil and Daniel Webster* (1941).

"I never quit nothin' in my life. `Cept for school. And that waun't my fault." (2,026)

Thanks, thanks. Let's try this one. 90s. American setting, American crime thriller, made international by casting. A Brit as an American city detective. A Brit as an FBI agent. An Aussie as one of the criminal crew (its a kidnapping that goes horribly wrong).

Indio, El ("The Indian") -- Gian Maria Volonte` in *For A Few Dollars More*

*Electra Glide In Blue* ??

*35* "Well if anybody around here's in heat it ain't me!"

It is indeed a very good movie, and I was standing by with a lot of good clues. Thread's yours. Go.

Yep. Walter Burke to James Garner. Go.

Garrett, Pat -- James Coburn as one of the title characters in *Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid*.

Ambulance and emergency medical services not a government function, but a competetive enterprise. Races to accident scenes, fistfights over customers, poaching each other's victims, etc.

There is already a thread set up for something like that, but I don't mind...I've used this one before. "Now, Henry, you a rich man. And a rich man can't afford to go broke. You go on back up there to New York, and you get you some money." In the movie where this speech is used, it comes just before the opening credits roll.

> {quote:title=faceinthecrowd wrote:}{quote} > "There was salt in the air the day he was born -- a great quantity of salt!" Per imdb, said by Curro Natalio in *Blood and Sand*, (1941). I don't know what it means, either.

Dollar, Lilly -- Dorothy Malone in *Warlock*

Thankee, thankee; let's go with this one: Mid-70s, contemporary to that period. Caring for citizens of Los Angeles hurt, wounded in traffic accidents, or victims of crime.

BRIT -- Spot on! AMER -- On the money! ...Both mean "exactly right"

MilesArcher; Dead-on correct. 3 days, 98 Views. This film had it's moments, but, as I described, it also had it's problems. Today the look at Hayley at that point in her career may be the biggest attraction for someone who doesn't remember the movie or have an interest in it. Your thread, Miles.

"Everything she writes is a lie, inclucing "and" and "the." -- Mary McCarthy to Dick Cavett, referring to Lillian Hellman.

X, Madame, AKA Holly Parker *Madame X*, a 1966 title role for Lana Turner.

*8.* The actress with kidcredits mentioned earlier did quite a bit of work for Disney. One of the boardinghouse occupants lost his tie pin at a crucial moment while working for Hithchcock.

I'm guessing *Last Holiday* (1950), on the assumption that that doctor has been knighted. (??)

"Tallulah (Bankhead) was sitting in a group of people, giving the monologue that she always thought was conversation." -- Lillian Hellman

Upson, Claude -- William Waterman in *Auntie Mame* (1958)

In the Spirit Of The Season, giving away the shop here. *7.* The landlady's daughter is the object of the killer's attention. Like with another title I recently posed on another thread, this part is the first "adult" role of an actress who had a background in children's roles. She has not been as popular as an adult as she was as a child actress. She came from a prominent showbiz family. The character sees the "child" side of the killer's character, but fails to realize that danger is close.
