I'd have to go with Superman
The Horse In Motion (1878)
You beat me to it. I was going to nominate L'Arrivee d'un Train en Gare de La Ciotat, the Lumiere brothers' sensation from 1896.Quote:

Stavros' posting sounds like a quiz question... off to Wikepedia everyone
Sound like one of those gnomic portmanteau questions from Round Britain Quiz on Radio 4!Quote:

not the threadjack but....Aliens > Alien and Top Gun was great. So again, I say, because of those 2 facts and that Prometheus ruined an otherwise good series for me....the wrong Scott killed himselfQuote:

All I will say is that it hasn't been the same since they took the Wurlitzers out of the pit at the front and put that weird sound equipment in......
1951. Gloria Swanson should have won the Best Actor for Sunset BoulevardQuote:

still trying to find out when the murder ocurred.
I would've guessed 1951...since that's when Vivien Leigh (born in Darjeeling) won her 2nd Oscar for "A Streetcar Named Desire"...possibly robbing Gloria Swanson for her 1950 film "Sunset Boulevard"....but I couldn't find a director's daughter being murdered. Alfred Hitchcock did have a daughter in a 1951 "murder" movie - "Strangers on a Train"...but she wasn't the victim in the movie.Quote:

Otherwise, yes, Gloria Swanson was robbed of an Oscar, Vivien Leigh won an Oscar for Streetcar, and someone resembling the actress daughter of Alfie was murdered on screen...and the actor who played Bruno in Alfie's film, died at the age of 32 from a bad reaction to drugs administered to soothe a panic attack...
1986, my favorite movie of all time is Top Gun.
lol...I'm not even going to tell you how much extra time that little oopsy caused me on the internet just to double and triple check other avenues...after all,you could have been way older than I thought. The key years were 1927,1930, 1939 and 1951...with '51 having the only seeming tie in with a play on words with murder...I was even checking if any directors had daughters die in the holocaust...Quote:

Thanks for the puzzle. Glad to hear you're younger than my father after all. :)
"Charlie" doesn't like mistakes:
Never heard of Charlie but then I have avoided Star Trek since it started. And for the record, I am not in the Departure Lounge...as far as I know...
