Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 13, Week 12

I ask you...who can be more Fassbinderian than Fassbinder himself? Guesses for last week's quiz were all over the map, but a select few of you were able to recognize Hanna Schygulla from The Marriage of Maria Braun. For those who asked about the alt-text clue -- Mrs. Braun (Brown) has got a lovely daughter, or at least so sayeth Peter Noone from that twee 60s pop song by Herman's Hermits. Sorry. Mid-way into week two of NYFF press screenings, and at the moment Stellet Licht is easily the best film I've seen by far, with Redacted holding the honor as the worst. On Tuesday afternoon I had the opportunity to see the restored print of Leave Her to Heaven, a film I'd never seen on the big screen. Wow. Just....wow. And you know what? I realized for the first time that Jeanne Crain is every bit as beautiful as Gene Tierney. Well here we are at the end of Round 13. My, how times does fly. With Leave Her to Heaven still on the brain, I'll close out the round with another Gene Tierney film, but I warn you...this is a tough one. While the actors pictured might not ring a bell, take a close look at the portrait on the wall. Seem familiar? Name the film. Be sure to check back next week for the winners. Good luck! Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!

Totally agress with your assessment of NYFF so far. I saw Redacted at Telluride, where I think I was the only one giggling.

Is this film available on DVD (with English subtitles)? I see that it was released in 2006...

Been hearing nothing but priase for 'Redacted' but I feel it's going to be an an audience divider much the same way as 'Crash' - Of which I belong in the hater category.

I love Ms Tierney and will hear no ill of her. Leave Her to Heaven is a brilliant movie. Just this week we were talking a bit about Stahl at my place. I had a quote from Henry Fonda about how when Wyler took take after take, he would give instructions or adjustments; apparently Stahl just said "do it again" and drove Fonda crazy.

And Jeanne Crain was gorgeous, yes! Mankiewicz always said he couldn't stand her but I thought she was fine in A Letter to Three Wives. And my favorite performance of hers, Margie, a very sweet-natured movie. She went on to have seven children. That must be something of a record for a Hollywood actress.
