Self explanatory new quiz discussing any subject on the popular genre. First question. Name the British born character actor who formed part of a strong ensemble in a series of film noirs. |

Shot in the dark: Basil Rathbone.

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
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?

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
That's OK . . . I would never have remembered William Powell's name either! :)

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
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..

Re: The Film Noir Years Quiz.
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.
If you have seen any of Bogarts film noir you have seen this man. Sydney Greenstreet. I really saw you getting it. Thanks anyway for kicking off the new quiz mate.

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!

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.
