NalkarjNo, you'll see that the list includes that some have, some haven't. No....think of weather.

alfromniHosted the summer games? I don't think there are enough for winter.

NalkarjCorrect! To be exact... the flowers are the national flowers of the countries which contain the cities which have hosted the Summer Olympics.

Well, it took long enough for me...! I suppose, as I said, it took so long because I thought several of them were for different countries than they actually were... (Knapweed, for example, is the national flower of Belarus and Estonia--not officially the national flower of Germany, but considered to be because of a long history.)

1. Life with Father - actually, that one I couldn't figure out 2. Gypsy - Django is named after Franco Nero's Django, who is named after gypsy jazz musician Django Reinhardt 3. Vertigo - Vertigo Comics published the comic adaptation 4. Winchester '73 - Django uses a Winchester 73 rifle 5. The Three Musketeers - Shultz brings up that a black man wrote the book to Calvin Candie 6. Force 10 from Navarone - also starring Franco Nero, the original Django (who makes an appearance in Django Unchained) 7. Vanessa Redgrave - married to Franco Nero

moviebuffbrad That's excellent!!! But not the movie I had in mind to which "Life with Father" does fit.
Not a Western. [Love The Sons of France's records with Django.] HINT - With the exception of one clue it's all about the stars of the unknown movie, which can be gleaned from the other 6 clues (which are not leading roles). It's a matter of fitting the stars together to the same movie. The exception has a different connection, but an important clue if you're familiar with the movie. It's not hard to figure out which clue is the exception. :-)

Nalkarj ; brimfin ; BATouttaheck ; soullimbo ; moviebuffbrad ; and anyone I've missed. Hi guys. I don't know if any of you are still trying to solve my last puzzle effort. If you need a hint, please say so. Here is another personality search, and it shouldn't be too difficult for the brains out there. The nine clues below should lead you to my name. I was a movie star. So... "Who was I?"Vladivostok San Francisco Rebel Lohengrin Cannibals Shakespeare Nixon Gideon Gardenia ===========
