Funny how I could miss the fact that FIDDLER ON THE ROOF was about a RUSSIAN--
---I had a Jewish connection, but he was a Russian Jew....
What's also funny is that I would have picked up the fact that Alan Bates as a Jewish Russian in The Fixer...
But Bates played other Russians too in Nijinsky and Three Sisters
What was the name of that movie about Russian children Christmas 19th Century story...famous movie but I can't think of the name right now.

Alan just missed the final cut, Kijii -- would have included him if I could have brought the total up to 60 performers ... came up four shy
Could have easily gone for multiples in the same film:
Christie, Sharif, Guinness, Richardson, Steiger in ZHIVAGO
Brennan, Jagger, Ann Harding, Huston in NORTH STAR
Rathbone and March with Garbo in KARENINA
Ethel and Wynyard in RASPUTIN
but finally decided it would have been too confusing (on players and on the QM)

Spasibo, Matt. So sorry to have missed this Game but just relieved that it's exposed Marsha as the likely Russian agent amongst us. I KNEW it!

Russians my favorites. I was looking at authors too, surprisingly unhelpful. My best tool was looking at Oscar noms to spot actors who did, or might have played a Russian in the right time frame. I have trouble naming actors with just initials. But this time I mostly knew TGE movies .
Thanks to Matt for a wonderful game and to all the players .
