  1. I want to do something different with this question only. I am going to post a number of clues at

    the outset, and will add others later. Two things: 1) The clues are all plot features, and 2) there are a number of correct answers -- movie titles. In fact, it will become clear that some of the films

    are remakes of others one can name. I am aware of many titles that apply, and others may be able to add more that I don't know about. Hope this holds interest; hope it works.

     

    Clue # 1. Two violent gangs vie for control of a territory.

    Clue # 2. Police either weak, bought out or absent all together.

    Clue # 3. Hero caught between the two, must outsmart both sides to survive.

    Clue # 4. One side substantially defeated; a slaughter.

    Clue # 5. Hero caught by one side and brutally beaten; must escape and recover.

     

    That's for starters.

  2. 13

    "Well, its nice meeting you, Maam, but The Murphy-Conners wedding is in the chapel at the other entrance. This the Thomas-Simmons wedding.

    Tyrone Power and Loretta Young??

  3. The English title,Blind Date (1958). seems to refer to the fact that the Dutch student did not know whom he was on his way to meet when he walked in on the crime scene. The American title, Chance Meeting (1959), seems to refer to the manner in which he discovered that the woman he knew was still alive. Hardy Kruger had top billing as the Dutchman. Stanley Baker had the role of the detective. I had forgotten until reminded by imdb, but the wife/ mistress/ murderer was played by the French actress Micheline Presle. German, Welsh and French, they had the leads in this English film

     

    With some 79 views since I started giving clues on this film, and only one response, either this thread has run its course or else I'm not working out. If it is to continue, someone else must do it.

  4. Clue # 9. At an outdoor location and in police custody, the Dutchman sees his girlfriend in a passing car in the company of a distinguished-looking man. Denoument: The VIP's wife had

    posed as the mistress,and had started an affair with the Dutch student. She had then killed the mistress, leaving clues that pointed to the student -- all this to reclaim her husband. In their last confrontation before she is taken away, she laments, "...but I didn't expect to fall in love with you.

    Damn you! Damn you!"

     

    And still no one knows this show?

  5. Clue # 8. The detective is informed by higher-ups that the deceased is actually (also?) the mistress of a BIG VIP whose name can not be dragged into the investigation. Don't we all know how much movie cops love getting instructions like that?

  6. Hammer? I researched and found no mention of the Hammer Corp. It certainly is not horror, but

    police procedural.

     

    Clue # 6. The mis-identification: The Dutch student sees the body from across the room and the police do not let him go closer. The face is covered, but one leg is partially uncovered.

    He recognizes an ankle braclet as a gift from him, and identifies the corpse as his girlfriend. His

    error comes to light only near the end of the story.

  7. Clue # 5. The prime suspect in the homicide is a young Dutch art student who walks into the room while the police are still establishing the crime scene. He acknowledges that he is the woman's lover, but he denies having killed her.
