    Still waiting for the hints …

    • zephyrin_xirdal Thursday, 31st May 2012 at 17:56

      All right, I am still having troubles uploading pictures reliably, so I’ll give written hints. Although Alexander Rabitsch is right, that #29 is overdue for solvation by me (the original rules were that I solve the riddle if it isn’t solved until the following Monday) I’ll go on with #29, because you really seem to have drawn blood now :) and because of the chaos during the last weeks. Here we go:
          For the movie we are looking for a substantial part of the cast of one of the most famous noir movies ever came together again. The movie the screencap stems from is so noir that flashback narrations are nested to the umpteenth level. The switch in the screencap is from the outermost, enveloping level of narration and is connected to the bigger picture of the historic backdrop of the story.

    When googling Your hints, I found movies like “Sorry, wrong number”, “The two Mrs Carrolls” or “The Killers”, but none of them really fits. In other words: I’ve not the faintest idea :-)

    I finally found a switch in a noir movie with a famous noir actor , but it’s the wrong one :-(

    Ha, next one: In this noir movie there is another switch and even a person wearing gloves and someone having flashbacks. But again: Different switch. Damn you!

    My last “educated” guess is “The big sleep” (1946), ’cause of the cast-hint. I’m out now! :-/

    >>Noir Of The Week<< … what a great idea! Thx @Kerleone!

    Finally I am back online—the post has been updated with a screencap that should lead you directly to the solution.
    @KerLeone: Thanks for burning ‘The Big Clock’ (Farrow 1948) … it’d have come next Monday!

    >>Chain Lightning<<

    • zephyrin_xirdal Friday, 8th June 2012 at 01:05

      No, sorry, it isn’t ‘Chain Lightning’ (Heisler 1950).

  • Alexander Rabitsch Friday, 8th June 2012 at 07:33

    :( :)

  • Alexander Rabitsch Friday, 8th June 2012 at 17:45

    >>The Caine Mutiny<<?

    • zephyrin_xirdal Friday, 8th June 2012 at 23:12

      No, sorry, it isn’t ‘The Caine Mutiny’ (Dmytryk 1954) … with all the information given so far, in the post and in the comments, you for sure are able to piece it together.

  • Alexander Rabitsch Saturday, 9th June 2012 at 18:38

    I fold ….

  • Alhambra Sunday, 10th June 2012 at 18:59

    What about one last hint …?

    • zephyrin_xirdal Sunday, 10th June 2012 at 19:29

      Ah, sorry, too late. Your comment was held by the system ’cause you mistyped your email-address (corrected it), hence I didn’t see it. When I saw it I already had updated the post with the solution. But tomorrow’s another Monday …

  • Alhambra Sunday, 10th June 2012 at 20:48

    Egaaal :-)
