Movie Quiz

It is a pioneer of the film noir genre of film making in the 40s. Stars Orson Welles.

 

OK, Orsen Welles rings a bell. Didn't know what he looked like, though. Then it must be Citizen Kane, which I haven't seen but heard of.

Do you remember this one?

 

The guy is Richard Gere doing something for his body which is his capital....

 

Gigilo?

 

Lawrence of Arabia?

 

1962 staring Omar Sharif,Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness

 

Had a chuckle seeing Guinness in Arab guise. Your turn. remember historical for me too.

 

These aren't birds or insects but a salvo of arrows fired by the opposing army. The hero was also hit by one but wasn't killed. On horseback he fought against war elephants far from his homeland. Who was it? Who was the actor in the leading role?

 

Hannibal used elephants against the Romans. Did the Persians? Alexander in his battle against the Persian Empire. Richard Burton played Alexander in the original and Irish actor Colin Farrell played him in the latest adaptation.

 

Exactly right.
And, yep, the Persians used them, too.

 

That still is from Citizen Kane, 1941, showing Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten.

Well, before the others join in:

 

Sure given the time zone difference Thomas.
Yours is one of the Mutiny on the Bounty films. I say the one with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins.. The Bounty (1984)

 

Craig, I liked your answer which is to confirm that your answer is correct: Mutiny on the Bounty. Which version of it doesn't matter. I thought a sailing ship anchoring off a South Sea island and a girl heading for it might be enough clues. And it worked.
