Found a caption on an unsigned version.
Since they’re characters I’ll just post it.

Wow, so young.

This might be before Captain Kangaroo got the “Grandpa” wig he affected for so many years.

Behind him are cut-out wooden wall plaques depicting Little Bo Peep and two of her sheep. I had that exact set on my bedroom wall…

My sister had Little Miss Muffet, and my brother had… um… OK, I guess I’ve forgotten. OH! He had Little Boy Blue.

Why do I remember at all? Well, my sister and I shared a room, and I stared at Little Bo Peep on my wall through military moves and different schools… until I was seventeen, and left for college.

I put together six Sidney Poitier Movies from the usual source.
I took the earliest the site had, picked four in the middle, and then his last film as an actor.

{Lilies of the Field was edited in at 07:58 E.S.T, so there are now seven}

Blackboard Jungle — The Defiant Ones— A Raisin in the Sun— The Long Ships— Shoot to Kill— The Jackal
The pictures are the links (as always, click through the clutter and go full screen).

Thanks for posting those movies, Alexi. Shoot to Kill was one of my husband’s and my favorite movies….. but I don’t think there’s a Sidney Poitier movie that we didn’t like! He was an actor’s actor.

So sad to have lost two greats (Betty White and Sidney Poitier) in the last week and a half!

I remember The Long Ships well, but never realized that was Sidney Poitier in the role!

You forgot his first, No Way Out, which many Southern theaters refused to show, possibly because Portier played a doctor instead of a butler or porter.

OK, puzzle pals and Cleofans… here I am to answer the question of whether your solution is correct.

Had I known how many of you would be finished, I’d have tried to be a bit earlier… lately that hasn’t been happening, so I’m afraid I let myself get a little sidetracked.

When you’re ready.to compare… not cheat, but compare

Maybe the bedroom up in the crow’s nest?

Or the captain’s quarters on the second floor?

The ground floor seems to be under water.

I’d go for the crowsnest, but I’m afraid I might meet the same fate as the Crowsnest Guys from “Overboard…”

I have a hard time seeing it as the flat wall that I’m sure it really is.

With the shaped top edge, it looks like a protruding half round, windowless addition to the building, instead of the end wall…

Especially since we can’t see the bottom, to confirm that it doesn’t take up extra space along the sidewalk.
