Something tells me this will be a rough month for bad newsletter clue jokes. Off to a bad start. The thread will be locked as quickly as humanly possible. =;

Wow. Well done. I had been racking my brain (is there a film with "Rockingham" in the title????) and the answer was right there in front of me.

Abusing my mod powers to point out that this is one of the best clues they've ever done. Quite clever! Whether this needed another Blu-ray release is another matter, though...

Abusing mine too! It took me a minute to realize that was supposed to be a boulder, even after the answer had been revealed.

Hey guys

I'm sure Top Hat is wrong, but it's all I've got.

That's a nice D-trick he's performing!

Unless it's some French stuff.

Repeat clue for Scarlet Empress?

It's probably for a Dietrich box, considering the shelf titles indicated there'd be several titles coming, and it'd be weird to do a clue around a single actress if the release isn't centered around that concept.

I'd think it might be indicating another Dietrich in parallel?

rather than scarlett empress.

but I'm not sure what would fit, Angel is Lubistch, but I don't know if it would fit the clue (all I remember is feeling kinda meh about it, Blond Venus has an obvious Gorilla gag they'd use for a clue, right?

Morocco. Dietrich, and the film where she famously appeared in male drag (tuxedo + top hat). Hopefully a Dietrich / Sternberg Box with all their films.

movielocke · #689 Post by **movielocke** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:32 pm

Ahh, I knew there was a Dietrich I’d seen where she wore a top hat but I couldn’t place it.

If we carry the magician line on, it could be Follow The Boys. Though that hardly seems worth it.

FrauBlucher · #691 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:35 pm

Maybe a Dietrich eclipse set, much like the Ingrid Bergman set.

FrauBlucher · #692 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:38 pm

And maybe to borrow from hockey jargon, ‘hat trick’ means 3 goals. So, three films coming?

Ribs has found his new avatar!

Ribs · #694 Post by **Ribs** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 10:58 pm

I don't know I can justify the time commitment required if I were to have to change my avatar every time people kept guessing after a clue was definitively solved

FrauBlucher · #695 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 11:01 pm

I agreed with you. Just adding more to your explanation.

FrauBlucher · #696 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 8:50 pm

The newsletter clue is up.

John Doe · #697 Post by **John Doe** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 8:51 pm

Thx for the pic ( sarcasm)

FrauBlucher · #698 Post by **FrauBlucher** » Fri Mar 30, 2018 8:54 pm

I guess the mods can move it.

A Raisin in the Sun comes to mind but I am not sure that’s what it is.
