  1. Oh my goodness, I've even seen Charade and love it! I guess it's time for a rewatch because I do not remember a prosthetic hand....

    Awesome game, Hamlette! And congrats to everyone for getting so many correct!

    1. Chloe, haha! Charade was a hard one because so many of the clues I could think of were really obviously about it, or else were spoilers. George Kennedy has a prosthetic hand in it, and that seemed fairly non-spoiler-y.

  3. Wow! I can't believe I managed to get nine out of twelve movies correct when I've only seen ONE of them. I guess I've been storing up a lot of information from reading your movie reviews ;)

    1. Katie, clearly you have a strangely retentive memory for trifles ;-) Like Sherlock Holmes!

  4. Your "We Love Detectives Week" coincided with my "film noir" course – serendipity!! So I could use my research twice... ;-)

  5. Most of my were guesses but it seems I was more right than I thought. I think it's harder to think of which movie when you sum it like that. But this was fun! Thanks for hosting.

    Have a lovely day.
