Archive Guy, you’re not reusing an actor from the first round in the second round, are you?
Hey, finish this one up so we can get to the next one. I have no idea on films pre-1960 and am too lazy to sleuth it out. Maybe we can just lure Eve, Twickster or Maureen in here to finish it out?
And, if you did reuse an actor from the first round (which is kind of a nice twist), is it entirely possible that you’ve mixed up two very similar actresses names?Because if you combine Charlton Heston (this time from Touch of Evil), Yul Brynner (10 Commandments) and C.B. DeMille (Sunset Boulevard), you get “The Buccaneer”, which also starred Inger Stevens. Henry Fonda and Lew Ayres (who was in “Holiday”) were in “Advise and Consent”–but with Inga Swenson! Am I right?
Yup, Holiday is correct.
(Sorry, I couldn’t connect from home last night).
Yes.
You’re missing someone with an even bigger role
Again, missing someone with an even bigger role.
No.
So my theory is wrong, huh? Do I have any of them right?

3rd round actor: ?
HINT All 5 remaining actors, 2nd & 3rd rounds, have Oscar nominations to their credit. 1 has an actual win, and 1 other has their nomination for a film they’re connected to in this puzzle.
You got one right:Lew Ayres
From “Holiday”–Lew AyresArchive Guy, did you read my spoiler?
Nancy Olson was nominated for Sunset Blvd.
But Nancy Olson wasn’t in Advise & Consent which I think is the final movie
But I thought we’re still looking for one step before that, an actor from each of Sunset Blvd, 10 Commandments, and Touch of Evil, which share a common actor, who is in the final movie?
Who says we can’t work backwards from the final round?
we can - at least **ArchiveGuy ** has said we could certainly try
but i spent 20 minutes comparing the 2 cast lists and found no connections
Remember that Advise & Consent will not necessarily have any cast members in common with Sunset, Commandments or Evil. The three (Oscar-nominated) actors you pull from those casts will have all starred together in a movie with another (Oscar-nominated) actor who did appear in A&C
And, no it’s not Nancy Olson. It’s someone with an even bigger role.
well, as soon as this one is solved - i have the next game waiting to go
from Sunset Blvd - are you possibly looking for Erich Von Stroheim?
he didn’t do that many english language films
AHA!!!Erich von Stroheim–“Sunset Boulevard” Anne Baxter–“The 10 Commandments” Akim Tamiroff–“Touch of Evil” who were all in “Five Graves to Cairo” with… Franchot Tone Who appeared with Henry Fonda and Lew Ayres in… ADVISE AND CONSENT!!!
