SMP #51 is dedicated to **C.L. McRae** This week’s puzzle involves ten movie titles with something in common. The titles were broken into “doublets” and the doublets were then alphabetized. For example, if a title was “Sunday Puzzle Fifty-one”, then it would be broken into SU ND AY PU ZZ LE FI FT YO NE and alphabetized thus: AY FI FT LE ND NE PU SU YO ZZ. **Problems:** I. Before the breaking of each title into doublets, the common factor was changed. The titles still relate, but with the change, they relate in a different way. II. Four additional doublets have been added to each title. These doublets are not part of the titles at all. **Mitigating Circumstance:** When the extra doublets are correctly ordered within each entry, they will spell out (reading from 1 to 10) an appropriate quote from Charles Wadsworth. * * * 1.

And by then, he’s forgotten that occasionally the son was right! ---

Sorry I’m late - someone took unauthorized pictures of my cat’s feet and Pumpkin was very upset about it. (Wait for it.) Yes, Pumpkin and I spent the afternoon looking for the guy who shot his paw! (Compared to the last one, this puzzle was, _ahem_, relatively easy.) ---

Well. I Just got my home computer working so I’ll have no excuses now. This one, of course, took me a while _Biotop_, but I’ll see if I can’t get back into the flow…
