Correct for Waleed.

' Hail the Conquering Hero' ( 1944 ), by Preston Sturges.

Where is Hans1906? I miss his quirky posts. Hope he hasn't been temporarily banned again as I know some of the forum staff were getting annoyed with a few of his contributions and attitudes in other areas.

Anyway, let's hope he returns soon. 👍

This was one of the best black and white WW2 movies I remember from my teenage years and it was a real treat to obtain it on VHS when I was about 14.

Enjoy the riddle... 😉 😎

I'm still truly amazed that Mark got the actor correct from such an angle and poor quality image. Very impressive. 👍
