Your first worthy effort drew eight active participants -- count 'em ... EIGHT! (including the Interns)
That's more than some Garth Games struggled to attract.
Not to mention nearly 400 views! (Oops, I think I just mentioned it)

First of all Thank you all for participating in a game with unclear rules, from the bottom of my Heart! The unofficial Billy Wilder champions is not one but two. Billy Wilder Masters: Marsha and Marianne winners of grand price of well not Polish Vodka, but Polish Plum Gin for a year and Polish salt spa bubbles for a year. (you don't have to share each get's full package) Billy Wilder Semi: Bella get's half of what the winners got Wild but lovely: Spider
Wild but great: Mattgarth Wild cave Prize: BatThe special David Wayne award: JervisI always thought of Billy Wilder as an Austrian, and in a way that is true, back in the days of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire region of Galicia were he was born. That part is now called Malopolskie in Poland's south regions, Malopolskie translates very bad since it means "Lesser Poland".  The Salt Mine ballrooms are in the Malopolskie region, in Wieliczka. |

Galicia had the coal so it was always being split . I always think of Wilder as Viennese too.
How about a Mankiewicz quiz? Lubitsch? Ferenc Molnar? Miklos Lazlo?

What? Disrespect for the author of A Hattyu? a Testor? Egy Ketto Harom? Lilliom?

Sorry about that, Marsha.
Actually, HATTYU is a particular favorite.
Mickey and Judy were both great in that one.

  Great game, Tele! Wish I could have spent more time with it. I think you’re ready for your close-up. |

LOL My original idea was Billy Wilder movies Swedish movie titles translated back in lousy English, turned out that many sounded the same as original English titles. Mankiewicz is a possibility, Lubitsch did many in silent Germany, Molnar, Hm over 100 titles, That Lazlo I sadly know very little about. Thanks for the suggestions! I might do something else that is not a quiz. |
