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.

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

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

No. No, no, no to all.

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

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

Just filler, I found the scene; no carrot.
