Have I Got A Girl For You: Classic Film Images Photo Quiz, Dec. 2021 Edition, Vol. 35mm
‘Tis the season for gift giving and avaricious wishful thinking and while the members of the militant pseudo-feminist movement (“Declare your independence, then look for the nearest convenient sugardaddy- the Gloria Steinem way!”) may frown upon any attention given to the fairer sex (Yours truly being one of those who subscribe to now derisively regarded traditions of rampantly sexist attitudes which recognize the obvious and significant difference in gender identification between an NFL fullback and a delicate mademoiselle.) absent of a clarion call to extinguish the last shred of natural masculinity with the handiest pair of pruning shears, we present this month’s edition of America’s last remaining vestige of cultural consequence, the Classic Film Images Photo Quiz, brought to you, as always, by those wonderful folks dedicated to the making of SKITTLES, America’s favorite non-prescription erectile disfunction supplement. In this edition we feature that most coveted of Christmas stocking stuffers: the eternal seductress, Mother Earth and connoisseur of De Beers diamond baubles in all her glorious aspects- the cinema woman. The following twenty five images feature women both celebrated and indelible in the cinema firmament. Your task is to identify all twenty five film from which these images are sourced. (Correctly if you please. We do not countenance mental freeloaders in the exalted offices of CSR.) The first to correctly identify all twenty five images will receive the coveted (and oddly feared by Russian oligarchs) CSR culture shock Award, guaranteed to act as a non-topical preventative against rickets and intrusive holiday visits from in-laws. Good luck.
