What's the picture? http://www.chelsearialtostudios.com/contest_1.mp3 Hey, clever idea for a thread! no idea for movie...is there a Paris location involved?? Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hey, clever idea for a thread! no idea for movie...is there a Paris location involved?? Yes, there is! Film from 1940's. Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 BTW may want to include 'music theme' or something similar in thread title to show it's different from other 'name the movie' threads -again, great idea! Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Thanks for the excellent suggestion. Okay - a couple of clues. Part of the score is based on PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION. There is more than a musical connection between that theme and the film. The movie starred a venerable supporting player in a rare starring role. In addition to "PICTURES", there is also an operatic aspect to the film. Again - a 40's 'B' movie. Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 probably wrong but 1st thought was The Moon and Sixpence (1942) (also clue-fishing) Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Oh, much darker than MOON AND SIXPENCE. The star was the head of an acting dynasty. Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh, much darker than MOON AND SIXPENCE. The star was the head of an acting dynasty. any hints here?? Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 any hints here?? Okay. Made by PRC. Takes place in Paris. Features several murders and an opera with very, very small performers! I will give one more clue if nobody gets it. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Okay, one more clue. The lead character is a painter. Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 okay, let's try 1944's.... ???? Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Congratulations. Okay, one more. And this one's even OLDER than BLUEBEARD. You MIGHT get a clue from the studio emblem music as it was only used on a few pictures made by this independent producer. The film itself is based on a stage play and inspired a long-running franchise. Here goes: http://www.chelsearialtostudios.com/contest_2.mp3 Link to post Share on other sites

Ray Faiola Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 with a Spanish location?? Nope. And I'm afraid a hint about the location would give away the title. However, I can tell you that the music does not give any indication that the film is a comedy. Link to post Share on other sites

MilesArcher Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nice clue! I think it's "A Night In Casablanca" with the Marx brothers and Sig Rumann. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Faiola Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Nice clue! I think it's "A Night In Casablanca" with the Marx brothers and Sig Rumann. Well done! And the lilting title music is by Werner Heymann. Okay - Here we go again: One of my favorite films in Technicolor. Main title, song and end cast vocal. http://www.chelsearialtostudios.com/contest_5.mp3 Link to post Share on other sites
MilesArcher Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 That was Werner Janssen, not Werner Heymann. Here is a clip: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v18370797BQ4rx8qH And I misspelled Sig Ruman! Now, back to the new music. Link to post Share on other sites
