Here are the answers to the two movies from Thursday, 14th February, 2008:

Answer to movie number one:

The first movie for Thursday was from 1969 and tells of a small group of barnstorming aerial acrobats when they arrive in a small town in the central United States to stage their exhibition over a holiday weekend. They are hosted by the aunt of the youngest member of their group - an unhappily married woman. While one member of the group has a night with a topless dancer, a doomed romance flares up between the aunt and another group member. Tension builds up and explodes with a spectacular aerial show.

This movie was "The Gypsy Moths", directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr and Gene Hackman. The script was written by William Hanley and was based on a novel by James Drought.

Answer to movie number two:

The second movie for Thursday was from 1997 and tells of a European city under siege. Proclaimed as one of the worst hot spots in the world, warring factions have destroyed most of the city, leaving civilians living in constant fear of sniper attacks. In the middle of it all, an international team of media people tries to tell the world of the horrors there. One group tries to capture the best picture they can of the atrocities while trying to stay alive in the process. At night, they hang out in bars, trading stories with a famous American journalist. They come across an orphanage and one of the journalists finds he feels for the children - especially one who makes him promise to take her home with him.

This movie was "Welcome to Sarajevo", directed by Michael Winterbottom and starring Woody Harrelson, Marisa Tomei and Kerry Fox. The script was written by Frank Cottrell Boyce and was based on the chronicled experiences one of Britain’s ITN channel reporters as written in his book, "Natasha’s Story".

The first movie for today is from 1992 and tells of a mousy librarian who seizes on a weapon, discovered after it was used in the motel room murder of a Federal Agency informer. She uses the fact she has the weapon as a way of shaking up her pristine image and becomes a femme fatale in the process. Her "girl who cries wolf" plot has one deadly drawback, however, in the form of a sadistic mobster who fears that she also possesses evidence which could have him convicted.

The second movie for today is from 1958 and, based on a Broadway play, tells of a rich actress living in luxury in a European city. Her sister and brother-in-law introduce her to a financial genius who has come to the city for a very important dinner function. He is a lifelong bachelor who masquerades as a married man to keep his single status secure. He tells the actress that he’s married, which is fine with her. She has no interest in being married and no guilt over having an affair with a supposedly married man who’s separated from a wife who doesn’t understand him. He takes a new job and sees her every weekend but, when he is told he must move to the other side of the world for a long time, complications arise for both of them. The answers will be in Thursday's edition. Good luck.
