    I think the trick is to pitch it at a level where the pictures are not too easy and not too obscure. Also to update it within a short timeframe if no answers are forthciming, otherwise people lose interest.

    I see,

    Well the answer to A was
    Brest Fortress
    A cracking good film. So was The Caine Mutiny but that was far easier with Humphrey Bogart

    Time for someone else to take over :)

    Why not expand the thread to any war between 1901 and 2000, before we get too anal with WW2

    Whoever guesses either both or the final one gets to go next :)

    PS
    If you are following up with more cryptic ones, try not to leave the thread too long before checking back ~!

    Yes it is, playing the daughter of a White Russian emigre.

    The 1st one is not strictly WW2,though it has a ww2 element. Involves mercenaries in contemporary eastern europe surveying a TR -era research facility.

    A. Actor on left died very young and he already had an impressive CV including working with Hitchcock.
