film lover 293 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 The credits for this film prominently feature a pair of scissors. Name this movie, the director/star, the leading lady who was wildly cast against type, and the name of the credits designer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I think that it's The Shrike. Jose Ferrer was the director/star, June Allyson was the leading lady who was cast against type and Saul Bass created the opening title sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azure Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Thanks, Lavender. Next: When a scullery maid goes down to the cellar, she finds some dead rats on the floor (the rats had been poisoned). The poison came from a medicine bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Next: When a scullery maid goes down to the cellar, she finds some dead rats on the floor (the rats had been poisoned). The poison came from a medicine bottle. The recently deceased mistress of the house had been taking that medicine. The maid realizes that the woman had been intentionally poisoned.....by her own husband. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Later on, the master of the house looks in his late wife's jewelry box and sees that the jewels are missing. He asks the maid about the jewels and she tells him that his wife had given them to her. He accuses her of lying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The maid tells him that she knows that he poisoned his wife. To keep her quiet, he allows her to keep his late wife's jewels. The maid asks him to promote her to the position of housekeeper and he grudgingly consents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrence1 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 In this movie, one of the female stars makes reference to her real-life husband, although he does not appear in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 The first thing that came to mind was a scene in How to Marry a Millionaire when Lauren Bacall mentions "that old fellow what's-his-name in The African Queen". Of course, she was referring to her then-husband Humphrey Bogart. Is that what you were thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrence1 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Once again, Azure, you are spot on! That's exactly the movie I had in mind. In fact, you practically quoted Ms. Bacall word-for-word. Good going. It's all yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Thanks, Terrence. HTMAM is such a fun film. Next: Charlie Chaplin had a horrific time while making a certain film. A fire broke out at his studio, which delayed production for a month. During filming, Chaplin went through a very messy and highly publicized divorce. This very embarrassing ordeal severely tainted Chaplin's reputation and delayed production. Chaplin had to deal with several other major problems during production. It was a miracle that the film was ever completed. What is the name of this film? Edited to add: Chaplin's mother died during this time, too.
