Shot in the dark: Basil Rathbone.

No. but good guess. Hint. He did not make his first pitcture until he was 62. Then in the proceeding 8 years he made 24 films.. mostly popular film noir.

I suppose Nigel Bruce is right out. On the other hand, for the sake of argument, would The Thin Man series count as noir?

The Thin Man with William Powell? Not sure. Not dark enuff.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

That's OK . . . I would never have remembered William Powell's name either! :)

The ensemble I alluded to earlier included two of Hollwood royalty and a pint sized Austrian/Hungarian.. My actor is an oversized man with a cultured English accent. Never heard him play anything other than an Englishman. He could well have done as I have not seen all his movies but working on it..

I assume the short guy would be Peter Lorre, but unfortunately I don't know any series he was in. Did some great stuff though: Casablanca, The Raven, Arsenic and Old Lace . . .

Peter Lorre was in the "Mr. Moto" movies.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

Peter Lorre. He was in a series of film noirs (or is it films noir?) with the big man and two of Hollywoods true box office stars. At least one was.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

Just looked him up . I do remember him as the rival bar owner who wanted to buy out Rick's Place, and I see he was in The Maltese Falcon, which I haven't seen for more years than I care to admit. Good question!

That rings a bell, but I don't remember ever seeing one.

Wanna post one?

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

Redwell already has.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

I know. Welcome redwell. Bogart of course. Recall Fred McMurray could also have played him. The third will need to have a think.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
 

Did Hemingway write The Third Man?

Nope! I've included the answers, but if you'd like a hint, you might confuse the title of this movie with one or two of Stanley Kubrick's.
