flashback42 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Right, Sixes. This film is an adept thriller, IMO, not as well known as it should be. ROLE CALL: Father of the threatened family -- "Isaac of York" The threatened wife -- "TV's "Farmer's Daughter" The chief criminal -- "Benito Mussolini" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashback42 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 TCM has *Cry Terror* on their list, and gives a full synopsis. I'm going to make a request to have it aired. Sixes' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalnovelty Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 > {quote:title=finance wrote: > }{quote}What do you mean," again" ? I said "again" because, didn't you see, there was another question about that same movie just a few posts back, even a poster from it was posted. Anyway, here's a new question: This is not a major well-known classic, but it did make an impression when I first saw it many years ago: The cops have been for years trying to catch a very clever professional assassin but he always gets away. Finally they get him when they trick him into believing that his latest victim is his own brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 > {quote:title=mr6666 wrote: > }{quote}any hints here?? It's a British movie. From the 1950's. Never been on TCM...not yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalnovelty Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Another clue: The Police Inspector is played by the son of a very famous British actor who died in WWII. (He's about the most prominent actor in this movie - none of the rest are very well-known to American audiences). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalnovelty Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 No, that's not it. With all due respect to the trivia experts here, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out nobody but me has ever heard of the movie I'm asking about. Let's narrow down the date with another clue: It's from 1951. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblue19 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 OHHH--- I just reread your clues, and I just remembered a favorite of mine Leslie Howard died during WW2Ronald Howard was his son and the film is *Assassin For Hire* ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
