OK, here’s one the most US’ers probably won’t spot.
The
White line in the centre of the road is wrong. We use either a dashed line (Two different types), or a solid white line with a dashed one alongside of it (Denotes which direction can cross it to overtake), or a double white line which denotes no crossing.
Actually, it’s usually pretty much the same here.
That line looks old fashioned.
States can use different markings, but nowadays usually follow the standard from the federal department of transportation.
Center lines are usually dashed. A solid white line is usually used to discourage but not outlaw passing… Kind of a warning to be careful. A double line OTOH means no passing allowed… And nowadays is usually yellow.
On multi lane roads the center line is usually yellow, and there may be a solid or dashed white line dividing the lanes.
To denote passing (overtaking) direction permitted, it’s usually a yellow line with a white or sometimes yellow dashed line alongside.
But these puzzles can be old, so it’s hard to tell a purposeful mistake from an outdated custom.
I’m going to take a wild stab at the story. Klugman is a pool hustler. Winters is Satan. They are playing pool against each other, with Klugman’s soul as the stakes.
Jessie (Klugman) considers himself the best of all time. his contemporaries claim he is good but he’ll never be as good as the late Fats (Winters), who was considered the best.
One night Klugman longs for the chance to play the dead hustler. Fats
(in the afterlife, waiting to be released from having to come back and play pool players who long to play him to prove they are the best.)
Fats answers the call and invites Jesse to play to be the best. what Jesse doesn’t know is that if he beats him and becomes the best , then HE replaces Fats as the guy who has to answer the call to play pool hustlers who are told they are good but not as good as Jesse.
“Hey, didn’t I see you a coupla days ago? Why are you still here?”
Quite an array of talent.
More fun without the names.
Then we can….
Ok. Ok… everybody please stop throwing things at me!
tomorrow
How many actresses “of color” would be included in the current lineup today?
Arthur Miller with wife Marilyn Monroe and basset
It really should be described as “basset being followed around by Arthur and Marilyn.”
Cleo Clifford on the set of “The Seven Flea Itch,”
I don’t remember any horses there…
They were hiding in the subway…
I don’t want to know how her dress was affected then.
That’s pretty remarkable. Obviously a complex story behind this relationship. Jut out of curiosity, is it known if the dog is female or male?
it is probably known, but not by me
reunion
Mother looks better than the last time I saw her…
Janet Leigh wouldn’t like anyone to think she played Mother!
..
I can think of two things right off.
Dam! You got both my comments!
True, but we do (Did) have them as well.
OK, here’s one the most US’ers probably won’t spot.
Add Germans.

What is that grey rectangle in the roadway between the two black cars?
Did a rear window blow out of the bus?
And why is that big black car on our right staring at me?
That’s not a big black car, it’s a Taxi….
Do taxis tend to stare?
,
Okay, that is
You did it again!

But does he have to die to fulfill that function?
that was left ambiguous —
name that movie
My guess too
right
Hitchcock is apparently famous for using this view of different blondes in different movies….
interesting –I can identify Eva Marie Saint, upper left–and Kim Novak bottom right
Rex Harrison and basset
C’mon Rex, good boy.
scene from ‘Them’
Just a normal day in the life of an entomologist…
I’m sure. Ho hum. 😶🥱
Sure was for me.
I written here before about how the theater on the USAF base I lived on in Libya owned a copy of this movie.
Oftentimes the movie intended for the Saturday children’s matinee didn’t show up with their weekly shipment, so they would show Them instead.
A whole theater full of kids would groan if we heard the opening notes of the music.
I probably saw it at least 15 times among with one of the two or three disconnected Buck Rogers episodes they owned.
Funny I remember so little of it… I think I’ve blocked it.
Except I can’t forget Leo G. Caroll’s face.
Is that what they call “Downward Dog?”
It’s called begging fr a belly rub!
,,.
Pity Fernando. He suffers, but gets none of the credit.
¡Cleomigas y Cleomigos…. Perro™ rides!
Perro™ rides again!
A plot is hatched…
I’m not sure where it’s going, because I don’t know how pretending to be ill could save la señorita from a bullet…
But then, I’m not our caped campeón, who spits in the face of danger!
…
Nor am I a bad-ass swordsman who rides to save villagers from evil-doers, like Perro™!
um… wait… I do not mean Perro™ himself is an evil-doer… let me rephrase that…. to save villagers from evil-doers…. like… um… like Perro™ does?
Oh, never mind… you know what I mean.
…
Meanwhile… Perro™ is confident….
Fernando might call it “cheeky.”
He is glad to be of service… but he has no desire to turn his other cheek…
…
In fact, hearing the words “bad-ass” …. it strengthens his resolve to not turn any more cheeks,
but to guard all three of his remaining ones….
and not sacrifice any of them to Perro™‘s whip or sword.
It’s self protection… Not a wrinkle in his devotion.
