Michael Powell was one of the most groundbreaking filmmakers in English history. He is one of my favorites, and this quiz is my valentine to the late great artist.
My first "Degrees of Separation" quiz is about the great James Cagney, eight other stars, and one special personality who lived long before the movies were born, but has a special relationship with two stars as you'll see!
Before Dali or Warhol, James Whistler was the first artist to make himself better known as a celebrity than for his works (though they're renowned also). Oh, and nothing about that old lady!
She made only 24 films in her life, is best known for one, but today is an icon of the 'Roaring Twenties', along with F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Held, Jr.
Billy Wilder gave us many film classics, all stamped with his special touch. A lot of them are among my favorites. See how much of Wilder you've been wild about!
For my first Cryptograms quiz, my subject will be the B-movies of the 40s, mostly the noir crime dramas. There are 7 movies here and their directors, all in code. If D stands for W, it will do so throughout the quiz.
The film noir genre of the 40's owes to the hard-boiled stories that began in the pulps of the 20' and 30's. They were tough, brooding tales of crime in the mean streets of asphalt jungles. See how much you know of them.
