#5 is Touch Of Evil
At first I was going to semi-guess that #6 was The Bad and the Beautiful, but then I could hear William Holden’s voice saying it. It’s Sunset Boulevard.
Is #7 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes?
And #2 is Witness for the Prosecution.
Darn–knew #5, 6, and 7. But also know #1 is “Pillow Talk” and #3 is “The Killing.”
I like 1950s films.
Is #4 High Noon?
Impressive hits from Mel, Tom, and George. Sorry, Hogan, it’s not High Noon.
#6 and 7 are two of my all-time favorite quotes.
#4 is something like…Bad Day at Black Rock?
Nicely done!
I knew 5 and 6, but I never would have gotten the other three.
Excellent quotes!
