Film Still Trivia [More:]

It's a game, sort of. Images from movies, with or without hints, any genre, any era, name that flick.

The set is shallower than it seems. The furniture is actually smaller towards the back, as are the extras, including midgets and children in the back rows.

The little tramp liked the pound mutt he picked for a costar so much that he took her home and kept her.

What I love about this is that these two guys just stood around and watched while this angry man tore the headlight from their car.

When movies stopped being silent, this guy's German accent got in the way so he went and made Nazi propaganda, retired to Austria, died of cancer.

Is this from that "Joan of Arc" movie?
posted by DarkForest 24 April | 14:44
That's correct, it's Maria Falconetti in Carl Theodor Dreyer's La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc.

This is from the same movie as the first one.

The big guy is Fatty Arbuckle, no?

That's right, it's Fatty Arbuckle, paired with Buster Keaton in The Rough House (1917).

Here are a couple Film Still Trivia Master level shots:

This one's mostly here because of the lamp, but the general feel of the room is also quite nice.

The woman in the lamp still - is that Bette Davis?
posted by deborah 24 April | 17:04
It's Ursula Jeans, and that's Michael Redgrave closing the door in The Dam Busters (1955). I'm sure the decor in there matches a certain region of English country house, but that standing lamp with the umbrella shade? Big fan, I'm a very big fan.

1. Sunrise?
2. A Dog's Life.

I want to say I've seen the last one, but I can't recognize it. And thank you for the reminder to move La passion higher up in my queue!

Yes, that big crowd scene and the tilted-table peasant scene are both from Sunrise. And that's A Dog's Life, right before he goes and stands by the drum and the dog's tail wags and plays the drum through the hole in his pants. I think I've seen it a dozen times.

Oof. Have not seen any of the rest of those. But thank you for posting a type of trivia that I can kind of, almost, play.

Oops, I missed one, the Sterling Hayden shot is from The Killing.
