Monday, 5 October 2020—DAY 5



Hello everybody.  It's Monday.  Welcome to another week of Bookman's Movie Screenshot Game.

Today we have our customarily easy start to the week.  In case you're just joining us, the basic game is simple.  I provide the screenshots, you identify the movies with their correct titles.  You can post your answers below in the Comments section or you can post them in the appropriate thread at FPN.  I post the correct answers for each game at the top of the next game.  Thursday's answers are posted separately on Friday.

Beware: the games get tougher as the week progresses.

To access earlier games in this installment, just scroll down the page.  To access the games in July, scroll down and look for the "Labels" in the left column (around image #5).  Then click on "Movie Screenshot Game" and browse the games.

To make sure we don't see the first screenshot prematurely, I post two images to act as a buffer zone.

Here are today's buffer images:


Katharine Hepburn and Ginger Rogers in Stage Door (1937).







Jean Harlow and Lee Tracy in Bombshell (1933)




All right everyone,



Are you ready to play?




Then let's play!



Good luck and have fun!
