I am readying my carefully guarded list of 50 film stars. Each can be paired with another in the following way: the movie they co-starred together in ended with one of them DEAD and the other one still ALIVE. Name each actor, with the appropriate D or A, and name the movie, as in “William Holden D, Gloria Swanson A, Sunset Boulevard”. Here are several important things.
IMPORTANT THING #1: When I say “co-starred” I mean each actor received either first or second billing on the picture! So, an answer such as “Lee Marvin D, James Stewart A, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” would be INCORRECT because Marvin was neither first or second billed. Have a look at a movie poster if it’s helpful.
IMPORTANT THING #2: Once again, I’ll keep score. I’ve done my puffed up and prideful best to make sure that every name has only one correct match. But if you catch me on a movie I overlooked that I deem to be correct anyway, you still score a point. (Matt, if you're reclining there with a tablet in your lap, I can already hear you smacking your lips.) When every movie on the “official list” of 25 titles is identified, I’ll yell “Game Over!” (Maybe a 2 point bonus question at the end.)
IMPORTANT THING #3: I shall borrow (steal) Matt’s rule of no more than three consecutive posts per player. It seems like a good idea.
IMPORTANT THING #4: If you post the same movie twice, just reversing the “D” and the “A”, I’ll have to ignore both posts. So, delete the post you don’t want.
EXCITING NEW WRINKLE! One answer is dubbed “Toughest Of The Bunch”. Accordingly, 2 points will be awarded to the first player with that answer.
And one answer per post, please.
YOUR BIG HINT. NOTICE THAT HALF THE REMAINING NAMES ARE UNBOLDED. MATCH A BOLDED NAME WITH AN UNBOLDED NAME!
And here is your selection of stars to wade through (and I'll try to keep progress updated).
