Mmmkay, y'all. So far I have not been able to foist this off. It's a lot of fun, so I'll keep going for a while.

Here's another one (fairly easy; no Googling/Bing-ing/etc., though): Mrs. Lovett's meat pies.

Sweeney Todd (The demon Barber of Fleet Street). I've never seen the movie but I have seen at least 3 stage versions.   I love Sondheim.

 

I believe she's right, as I saw the version with Angela Landsbury as Mrs. Lovett. The protocol is the poster of the clue confirms a correct answer, and we wait until that is done before taking a clue out of play.

 

 I did not even recognize that one, and I've seen it! 9_9 So, @Alex, do you concur?

There were no cucumbers in the market this morning, sir.

 

No cucumbers!

 

No, sir. Not even for ready money.

 

(No Googling!!)

I don't think of it as a movie (although, it has of course been filmed) , but the cucumbers are Oscar Wilde - 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.

#4 Clue: Knocked head over heels by milk.

 

 

And that's why we don't self-assign clue numbers. Also if you add a movie clue, and it's unresolved for a while, please come back and add more clues to put us out of our misery. :)

@Lisa Shock,

 

Wayne has tried to solve your clue:

 

Wayne is correct with the answer to his clue as i was typing, so No. 6 is resolved and out of play.

Aside: Herding cats! grumble, bitch and moan. :laugh:

 

Still it could be fun, if y'all want to do this. I loved where in the old thread posters of the original clue would come back and provide more details on the movie, often with enthusiasm. It was obviously memorable enough to them, and provided a rich base of movies to explore.

Thanks for the Crepes
