Contest: Name that Movie #2 - The Results Show
By Craig Kennedy - October 30th, 2007; 12:01 am
The correct answer to contest #2 is:
Get Carter (1971), directed by Mike Hodges, starring Michael Cain.
The supernatural Sartre scores 5 points for guessing correctly after the first picture.
Frank Booth gets 4 points for answering after the second picture.
Bert and Joel score 3 points for getting it after three pictures.
I’ll be keeping a running tally of the scores and declare the first one to 20 points the winner…or maybe 30. We’ll see how it goes.

I got lucky. Because I come from a Commonwealth country I know British TV actors better than most Americans. Once I recognized Bernard Hepton it was a simple matter of visiting IMD and finding a likely film in terms of quality and his age equivalence.
I love Get Carter but without that way in I would have been stumped.
Interestingly, according to the commentary track on the DVD, Hepton’s career was stagnant and he was producing theater or something, but it was Get Carter that relaunched him and made him the BBC standby that he became.
We’re number two. We try harder.
(Now THERE’S a reference you furriners won’t get first!)
Being Americans who wouldn’t know Bernard Hepton from a hole in the ground Frank, your guess after two images was pretty impressive, I must say. I predict big things for you if I keep doing this contest thing.
So why do I feel like Al Gore?
Hah hah. The good news is the race isn’t over and even it it was you didn’t lose out to a smirking, anti-intellectual, phoney Texan.
