Would you guys be interested in something along the same line? And perhaps a bit more Sleuthy :).

The object of the game is to find a film Noir character, who doesn't necessarily need to be a leading character, but not a third footman either, if he doesn't happen to be the murderer :). We need to guess the character's name and the movie he or she appears in. Googling is permitted, and I am the first to admit that I don't remember the names of characters in movies I saw years ago. In any case, it won't help if we don't know what we are looking for. The films should be "real" Noir movies, filmed not earlier than 1940 and not later than 1960.

I'll start:

I am a woman :).

Is the non-US part set in Mexico? Was it directed by Orson Welles?

Yes Beautiful Lady D. And Yes :)

Oh, thank you :D *blushes*

Is he a good or bad cop?

Jun-19-2013 10:41

He was a good cop in that he got his man... a bad cop in the way he did it :)

Then he must be Hank Quinlan (Orson Welles) in "Touch of Evil".

Yeh, it's the only film noir film I know. :)

Congrats Lady D and congrats on the AV you just caught too x

I'm sure that's not true, you're doing great, Gilda... I mean Ruby. Thanks, and thanks :).


The new character is male.

Good guy or Baddie?
Cop or criminal or client or detective (P.I)?

Jun-22-2013 08:13

He is a good guy, better than he believes himself to be :).

None of the above (for most of the film we, as well as he , think that he commited murder).

I'll stop apologizing for the wrong detective (everyone knows he's mine anyway), it will happen more and more often :).
