32.

[Colonel_Kurz]

Heh, dat ik die niet wist.

[TheMajor]

Ik weet er geen enkele, maar ik ben ook niet zo goed in het onthouden van namen en zo. Nummer 3. zou ik eigenlijk moeten weten.

[El Chivo]

Zonder opzoeken is 't een big fail hier. Ik wist er een paar die Kurz ook wist (27-35-38-44), but that's all;

De rest is "oh ja".

[Colonel_Kurz]

Ook met opzoeken is het niet bepaald makkelijk... zo zit ik sinds The Majors bericht al te zoeken naar die nummer 3, maar ik kom er nog niet uit...

[El Chivo]

Ik dacht het gevonden te hebben met Robert Donat, maar toch niet. Niet met Ford gewerkt.

Straks nog maar eens proberen.

[Sandro]

3.

De Hitchcock was de lastige van het stel.

[El Chivo]

Wordt bij 45 misschien niet gewoon bedoeld?

Ik dacht even dat het drie keer dezelfde naam moest zijn, met een verschillende midden-initiaal.

[timdekw]

Moet ik me doodschamen als ik nergens een antwoord op kan geven???

Dit bewijst eens te meer dat ik nog een hoop films te zien heb, voordat ik mezelf een filmkenner kan noemen.

Nee, niet bepaald.

Er zitten al veel écht lastige vragen tussen en bij de wat doenbaardere moet je het vaak met een minimum aan informatie doen. En dan is het maar de vraag of je nikkel valt of niet.

Intussen al wel het een en het ander gevonden/opgezocht op het www. Misschien tijd om een overzichtje te maken, want het lijkt me niet dat er nog veel antwoorden zo gaan komen...

Niet helemaal zeker of de antwoorden bij 11, 13, 36, 41, 49 wel de juiste zijn. Vooral bij 49 ben ik nog niet overtuigd:

En hier en daar zouden er nog meer mogelijkheden zijn.

Een 'sharp practice' is slang voor iets doen wat onethisch is, maar wel binnen de wet. Wat dus inderdaad niet echt .

Chuck Barris is trouwens niet .
