Did someone actually win the last one?
Well I thought if someone won the last one it would be back to $250 prize, but if someone didn't I thought it would jackpot to $750 (as June was already at $500), so how it is at $500 this month has me a little confused...

Last month's winner is decided after the following month's quiz is posted. Since the July quiz is here, if no-one wins the June quiz, they may bump the jackpot for August to $750.

thanks for the clarification pingli. I think the answer to question 1 is "Journey into Fear" (1943) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7MHkG9Lnd8

The answer to Question 2 is Haitithe police think that John Brennan and his family are flying to Haiti because he plants a false bag of information with a picture of the presidential palace. I actually watched the movie last week, but if you want a link for your own piece of mind: http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/nextthreedays.htmlI don't like my chances for some of the other questions though we may need to pool our collective knowledge to have a go at this one

5. They all played in 'Film Noir' Movies'Film Noir' was the term given by French film critic Nino Frank in 1946 to Hollywood crime films playing in France following WWII. The 'Golden Age' of Film Noir is regarded to be the 1940s and 1950s, and as with any set dates there is always some overlap of the style. However 'Noir' style films from 1960 and on have been labeled 'Neo-Noir'. Notorious - (1946, Cary Grant) Scarface - (1932, Ann Dvorak) In A Lonely Place - (1950, Frank Lovejoy) I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang - (1932, Paul Muni) House Of Strangers - (1949, Susan Hayward) http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=59The desperate hours (1955, Fredric March) http://onlyoldmovies.info/the-desperate-hours-1955-humphrey-bogart-fredric-march/

10. Three Days of the Condor (1975)Turner says he has told the press "a story" (they are standing outside The New York Times office), but Higgins questions Turner's assurances that the story will be printed. After a brief dialogue, an anxious Turner glances at Higgins and the New York Times office, then hastily walks away. The final shot is a freeze frame of Turner passing behind a Salvation Army band singing Christmas carols while looking over his shoulder back at Higgins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Days_of_the_Condor

I think we have it all covered. Here again our combined results:
1. "Journey into Fear" (1943) 2. Haiti 3. Tim Holt in "Road Agent" (1952) 4. Ellen Graham (singer) met Philip Raven (killer) - "This Gun for Hire" (1942) 5. They all played in 'Film Noir' Movies 6. Louise Brooks 7. "Conquest of Space" (1955) 8. "Persons in Hiding" by John Edgar Hoover 9. Different working titles for the same film 10. "Three Days of the Condor" (1975)

The answer for Question 4. doesn't make sense? Who met whom on a night train to Los Angeles when he stole five bucks from her purse?*

I just noticed that the 4. questions has not been answered completely. The correct answer would be: Ellen Graham (singer) met Philip Raven (killer) - "This Gun for Hire" (1942)Ellen is forced to postpone her wedding plans because of her commitment to Burnett, and unwittingly shares her seat on the train to Los Angeles with Raven. When she notices that he has stolen five dollars from her purse, she demands the return of the money, but graciously refrains from turning him in. http://www.doctormacro.com/Movie%20Summaries/T/This%20Gun%20for%20Hire.htmI will amend my post below accordingly. @pingli By the way you mixed up the names of the posters. I did not answer question #4
