Well done Nancy.

 

1: Maltese Falcon
2: Alexander
3: clue please.

 

#1 Correct
#2 No
#3 No. I didn't know Clue Please was a movie.

@Nancy Hart[/USER] No idea of 2. Whereas 3.. musical performances.. recitals, concerts. On the house.. free, no charge, gratis, complimentary, or roof, tiles? Help!

 

3. On the house means ... on top of the house.
2. Might be easier for an American. @Shirley Martin ? Are you still playing?

 

No, an attic is not on top of a house.

 

Rooftop concert by the Beatles? Actually, I don't know what precisely is going on here...

 

Neither do I sometimes.

They are all movie titles described in other words.

No, not the Beatles. A musical in the 1970's. Also a Broadway production.

 

Might one of them be "Fiddler on the Roof"?

 

Yes!

 

They are cryptic clues for movies Thomas. Another way to keep our aging intellect primed.

 

That comment was about #2. Clooney is an American singer from decades ago. Possibly not well known outside the US, but not sure.

 

All I can think of is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof if it's to be a movie. But was that a musical too?

 

Shirley got it earlier: Fiddler on the Roof.

Only #2 remains unsolved

2. Child of Ms. Clooney
