Movie Quiz for Oct 4th 2024-
Tonight's MQ is one of: Crime--Drama--Film--Noir.

This movie was a harbinger of what Alfred Hitchcock tried to do in such films as Rope and even more so in Rear Window. The whole story is told on one very complex set showing the stark contrast of the rich penthouse dwellers with the inhabitants of the nearby tenements and flats.

Building that set on stage and for the screen must have been one expensive proposition so it was a good thing SK wrote a hit.

It may be one set, but the plot of the film involves three stories and how they interconnect. Story number one is about xxxx xxxxx, a former slum kid himself who still lives down there while he tries to get a job as an architect. He's involved with two women, rich socialite xxxxx xxxxxx who lives in the penthouse and xxxxxx xxxxxxx who played more working class women than anyone else during the times.

x works as a seamstress in a garment factory and she's currently on strike and she's got a younger brother to support who causes her much grief. The younger brother is X and S worries about the gang he runs with, the kids who later became known as the DEK and others. Their a rough bunch and they get a visit from a celebrity of sorts.

Which leads us to the third track in the person of H? who grew up on this same block and is now a wanted fugitive of the John Dillinger variety. The kids and M recognize him, the kids worship him and M is willing to give him a pass for now, he's no rat. All their stories mix in this plot which does hold the interest through out the film.

Though this movie is a dated piece of work, it does offer a great glimpse into urban life for the rich and poor. This is one of Samuel Goldwyn's best productions and WW gets uniformly fine performances from his talented cast of players.

The actors in this cinema are well known. Many just getting their careers started for bigger and better movies to come. You will know the names of 6 of them. All have passed on.
The film was nominated for 4 Oscars. More then likely way before we were born.

Knew 2 brothers who would wear old man masks and would hand out candy to teen girls at Astro games. Funny guys.

20% werewolf

100% I picked a witch.

Monsters are always number one

Last year I went as Jerry Lewis...Hey Laaadie...very scary.

Pirate. They can Rob and pilage

I voted for "other" - How about the Burger King king?

I used to get those Ben Cooper brand costumes in the cardboard box. The only ones I remember are one year I was the Road Runner, and Wile E. Coyote in another. I do remember that the last time I ever went I was 12 (I think), and that year we had snow on Halloween. I remember putting on a long skirt over my winter coat, with a head scarf and big hoop earrings, going as a gypsy. The only time I didn't wear a store bought costume. BTW, my mother absolutely forbid using 'her good pillowcases!' for collecting candy; for me it was a well-used paper shopping bag, probably from the Boston Store - easier to manage anyway, 'cause it had handles. 😊

The Shape

70% Well this one is kinda dumb, Wouldn't have picked witch since im a guy. Soooo. I picked Dracula. Not your best quiz MeTv.

0% 🤣
I found an old photo the other day, from the early ‘60’s, of my little sister wearing the dime store version of a Tweety costume, complete with plastic mask. So cute.

70% Skeleton. Halloween when I was a kid was the greatest! I wish I could have those days again.

20% Similar, I was Batman. My mom made me the entire suit by hand.
I was something different every year. One year she made me a fly costume, another time I'd watched "The Crawling Eye" movie, so she took a large box and turned it into the said creature. Great fun.

Always be yourself, unless you can be a cowboy. Then, always be a cowboy.

I was always a witch, which is why I chose "witch", which is of course the most popular. Halloween just isn't the same. Wish my children and grandchildren could experience it like I did.

I always dressed up as a bum using my dad's old suit coat 🧥
My brothers and sisters and I carried pillowcases to carry our candy.🍬🍭🍫🎃👻💀👹👺🤡🥸

20% Dad was a Air Force pilot so I'd dress in one of his old flight suits with flake blood and bandages.
