That picture says that I gave three points to Dow (which isn’t quite what I remembered when sending you a text a few hours ago sorry). So Dow. Who said Dow?

Derek said Dow.

Iconic. Interesting.

The Houses of Parliament.

Wiki agrees with me about the status. I now feel safe.

Except that my previous guess was wrong, as I have realised what it is.

Now.....
What film were my students required to watch today?

Post by **jdaw1** » 22:07 Mon 14 Oct 2013

Lolita? Or an arty Polish abortion drama?

(Was the requirement today, or was the watching today?)

You have had your guess. If you know of any arty Polish abortion dramas, though, send them my way.

jdaw1 wrote:(Was the requirement today, or was the watching today?)

They were required to watch it when they registered for the course; the time when that requirement reached fruition, hopefully, was today.

Further questions will be answered (almost certainly in the negative) in the morning - time for my beauty sleep...

I am rewriting the course document as we speak. Such fine suggestions.
No. No, no, no to all.

Made in 1938/1939. Further clues might be forthcoming if you continue to fail to guess.

No, not that one either.

Now I need to guess the other one. I thought 'Gone with the Wind' was the more studently offering.

Waits.......

But 'Gone with the Wind' is so tastic, still humming the tune. Am I right in thinking that she holds up a carrot while swearing she will never go hungry again?

{If you get it right, you then have to pose an equally useless but guessable question. If you guess wrong, you can’t guess again until somebody else has had a guess, or until a new question is posed (which would happen because a previous guess is marked ‘correct’).}

To which the correct answer, perhaps also the answer to the current question, was

I too made this assumption I must now fall back on google.

Just filler, I found the scene; no carrot.

Just found on Wiki, out in 1939, is it 'Back door to Heaven'?
