Topic: Race movies from the top shelf - Solved mostly by the Hungarian Brigade

[Ray B.]

At he general request (I'm not sure of that but it doesn't hurt to pretend)...

Twenty drivers, twenty racing movies (and not la creme de la creme).

You have to identify the actor/driver and the film, and match them two by two (the actors' picture don't necessarily come from the same picture).
Each pair will get you one point.
You can name the car if you like, but there's no point for that.
You can make guesses about just the pilots or the films but it will only help others to steal your point.

Now the pilots...

Driver1     Driver 2 
                                                                                     
Driver 3     Driver 4 

Driver 5     Driver 6 

Driver 7     Driver 8 

Driver 9     Driver 10 

Driver11     Driver 12 
                                                                                     
Driver 13     Driver 14 

Driver 15     Driver 16 

Driver 17     Driver 18 

Driver 19     Driver 20 

[Ray B.]

Now the films...
(The "Driver" does have a part in the connected film. He doesn't necessarily drive the car shown in the picture.)

Film 1    

Film 2   
                                                                                     
Film 3     

Film 4   

Film 5        

Film 6   

Film 7     

Film 8   

Film 9      

Film 10      

Film 11     

Film 12   
                                                                                     
Film 13     

Film 14   

Film 15        

Film 16   

Film 17     

Film 18       

Film 19      

Film 20

That's a great puzzle!

Driver 13 Bill Travers, Car 2 Lister Jaguar, Movie the Green Helmet.

[Otto Puzzell]

#4 is Rory Calhoun (with Connie Hines), in Film #14, Thunder In Carolina

[Ray B.]

Driver 13 Bill Travers, Car 2 Lister Jaguar, Movie the Green Helmet.

Both correct

[Ray B.]

#4 is Rory Calhoun (with Connie Hines), in Film #14, Thunder In Carolina

You've got driver and film right. One picture right and the other wrong.
you're a big boy, I'll let you guess which one.
Locked for you 48 hours.

Driver 9 H. Haile Chace ( ?), Car 16  Caballo Hierro II, Movie the Roadracers

[metalshapes]

Film 4 is Herbie the lovebug, with old Yaller ( VIII, I think ), dont know which actor.

[metalshapes]

Film 20 Viva Las Vegas, Driver 11 Elvis Presley, Elva Mk VI

[Ray B.]

Driver 9 H. Haile Chace ( ?), Car 16  Caballo Hierro II, Movie the Roadracers

Both pictures are from Roadracers indeed.
But to me it's not Haile Chace. Prove me you're right or find the correct actor and the point is yours. (By the way, the "Driver" does have a part in the connected film. He doesn't necessarily drive the car shown in the picture.)
Locked for you 48 hours.

[Ray B.]

Film 20 Viva Las Vegas, Driver 11 Elvis Presley, Elva Mk VI

No.

[pnegyesi]

Driver No20 is the late Don Simpson. Movie, hm, No13: Days of Thunder?

[Otto Puzzell]

You've got driver and film right. One picture right and the other wrong.

#15 is a lobby card from Thunder in Carolina



Connie Hines (Mrs. Wilbur Post) was such a sweetie. I had her pic cued up for an "art and cars puzzle". Not for this movie, but for her connection with Studebaker, the sponsor of Mr. Ed. She appeared in the commercials for the Studebaker Lark during the show's run.

[Ray B.]

I can see at least two reasons why you'd call her that...

[Ray B.]

Film 4 is Herbie the lovebug, with old Yaller ( VIII, I think ), dont know which actor.

No to that too.

[Ray B.]

#15 is a lobby card from Thunder in Carolina

Right. So connected with Driver#4. The point is yours.

Please guys use "driver" or" film" before "#15"  and such. It's easy to get lost here.

[Ray B.]

Driver No20 is the late Don Simpson. Movie, hm, No13: Days of Thunder?

Right!
I'm not to keen to have a big Tom Cruise face attached here. So, no poster.

Right, and right.

[Otto Puzzell]

I've a pair ID'd, but can't figure out which member of the cast is shown in the matching picture. 

What the heck - here goes nothing:

Movie 16 The Roadracers and actor 9 Skip Ward (I hope)

[Ray B.]

I
Movie 16 The Roadracers and actor 9 Skip Ward (I hope)

The pictures and the film are right, but it's not Skip Ward. Here is Skip Ward below.
The puzzle actor was part of the first cast and not an extra. He should be easy to find.
His picture here does come from Roadracers.
Here is the only other one of him that I've found on the internet.

Locked for you 48 hours, as I did for metalshapes.

[Otto Puzzell]

That girl looks like Tabatha from Bewitched. Joel Lawrence was credited on an episode of that show, as "2nd Policeman".
