I had trouble with two of the actors names at first. Walter, who is usually identified in the film by his rank and last name (but the drawing helped), and the voice of H.A.L. (which I eventually came up with).
It wasn’t her fault that she was beautiful and naturally very mature for her age… But it got her in trouble.
She was quite short but not childish looking.
I remember reading that she was let go from her first film contract because the studio thought her face was too mature for an 8 year old.
When she was 10, the director of Lassie Come Home angrily told her to go wash off all her makeup, because she was playing a child…. She cried because she wasn’t wearing makeup. She had naturally double, very dark eyelashes, that looked like mascara.
Grown men chased her, and supposedly, by a very young age, she responded. Mickey Rooney’s wife famously divorced him when she caught him, at 22, involved in some monkey business with Elizabeth, who was 14.
She married for the first of what became 9 times at 16.
This picture is said to have been taken when she was either 10 or 11 years old.
The cat on top has a pink nose and white paws.
Hard to tell if it’s just the light, but the bottom one seems to have touches of tortoiseshell.
I suppose it could be a month old chick, but they’re usually more fledged out. Chickens grow remarkably fast. Or maybe it’s not really a whole month later.
Well…. There’s a big clue in the actors and one of the characters’ names.
So I’ll say this is…
Double Indemnity… in which Fred McMurray unforgettably plays Walter Neff.
With him here is Edward G Robinson… not in this photo is his temptress, Barbara Stanwyck, who for some reason I never understood was often cast in roles as a femme fatale.
The Goonies, with a very young Sean Astin in the center.
I recognize the movie, from ads and posters… and him, but I’ll let someone else name the others, cos I don’t know them, and if I look them up, I might swap names and misidentify a couple.
I’ve never seen it…
Yeah yeah… You’re allowed one collective gasp of disbelief.
I did a lip-sync to Bing Crosby singing “Don’t Fence Me In” when I was in Cub Scouts. Wore Dad’s coat and pipe. Probably for a merit badge or something like that, although my memory’s a bit hazy (it was a loooong time ago).
I saw an “extra” one too, but I didnt count it because I decided it was my pareidolia and not the artist’s intent.
Was yours…
this one?
In the bottom right “section”, there’s an obvious woman facing left, and above her, an older woman with glasses, facing the tree branch.
In the older woman’s hair, I can make out a bald, round face, also facing upwards, but much less realistic, with no eyebrows, ears, or other finishing details.
On the other side of the branch, on top of the man with a mustache, who faces downward toward the branch and the older lady, I can also make out a piglet. I didn’t think the artist intended that, or that unfinished looking face…. but I did wonder whether anybody would count them.
I don’t think the faces are random. The woman bottom right looks like Margaret Thatcher, the man top left looks like Gandhi to me, and above Thatcher looks like Andropv. The others could also be 80’s political leaders.
Yeah… I couldn’t whether they were random, cos they’re very artfully drawn.
Sorry, but I can’t see Thatcher (She has a big nose, but not without a bridge) or Andropov (I’d forgotten what he looked like, so I had to Google him) in those.. Gandhi, yes, but perhaps a different Indian man.
But I see no distinctive features at all in the “11th” face.
..
WooOOOooo!!!
.
You can still find them.
So where do I go to find a left-handed moustache cup?
Ebay?
I had one of those for quite awhile. Probably got broken at some time. Had a Rumph mug for awhile too. Good memories.
I need one of those. Of course, I could just trim my moustache when it starts to cover my mouth I suppose.
I’m watching Mysteries at the Museum and they just had a segment on those.
…
Got most of ’em!
I have all of the character’s names… um… that might be because they’re written right under their faces.
As for the actors… well…. almost all.
I had trouble with two of the actors names at first. Walter, who is usually identified in the film by his rank and last name (but the drawing helped), and the voice of H.A.L. (which I eventually came up with).

Is that red sky at morning, or red sky at night?
It’s an H-Bomb. So, night-night all.
It would depend whether that’s east or west.
If it’s north or south More Cats may be right.

She grew up too fast, all right.
A lot of it had to do with her looks.
It wasn’t her fault that she was beautiful and naturally very mature for her age… But it got her in trouble.

Hey! I call a ringer!

Oh my dog!
I’m guessing it’s a creature from Star Trek.
Edit.
Or The Twilight Zone.
LOL… Look again.
Nice dewlaps!
Talk about owners looking like their dogs…

Goodgirl!
it’s pretty cool -if you’ve got some 3D glasses around
Ive got some someplace.
Yup… He reaches right out of the screen!

What is it about some photos that you just know, with I’d guess at least an 80% chance of being correct….
An episode of The Twilight Zone?
He was a master. He was a great cinematographer as well as a great story teller. He died way too soon.
cigarettes—you rarely saw him without a one
Yeah. 🙁
Who “he/him”?
He died at 50, of the last of multiple heart attacks … which were probably exacerbated by smoking 5 packs a day.
Thanks. I was lost as to whom was being referred.
,,.
name that movie
Well…. There’s a big clue in the actors and one of the characters’ names.
With him here is Edward G Robinson… not in this photo is his temptress, Barbara Stanwyck, who for some reason I never understood was often cast in roles as a femme fatale.
..
Not as much action for me.
Whoa! I rolled down on this one quickly, and it was almost like a 3D.
.,,
I love that one!
My kids loved it too. It came out at just the right age for them.
A scene
I recognize the movie, from ads and posters… and him, but I’ll let someone else name the others, cos I don’t know them, and if I look them up, I might swap names and misidentify a couple.
I’ve never seen it…
Yeah yeah… You’re allowed one collective gasp of disbelief.
It s fun movie.
Just simply fun.
With some fantastic caricatures.
Not scary?
Only some tense situations, but all fun.
Nope.

Death by a thousand cuts.
The last line is a gem…. Then again, so are Mr. Peabody and Sherman.
I did a lip-sync to Bing Crosby singing “Don’t Fence Me In” when I was in Cub Scouts. Wore Dad’s coat and pipe. Probably for a merit badge or something like that, although my memory’s a bit hazy (it was a loooong time ago).
Just ran into this while looking for something else…..
Me too.
Yes.
I see …
NOOooo!
I saw an “extra” one too, but I didnt count it because I decided it was my pareidolia and not the artist’s intent.
