I assume the 10 question rule applies buddy its a great idea so I will stick to it anyway.

41 Gene Hackman 1972 version and i think none of the same characters were used in the 2006 re-make, or something bizarre like that.

45 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

46 The song was sung by Little Richard and I think it was Jane Mansfield in the role of Jerri Jordan.

47 Mia Farrow? Not sure pure guess Not a Fan of Mr Allan

48 The Mighty Dustin Hoffman.

49 Phileas Fogg of London in the classic Jules Verne Novel and the much missed David Niven in the movie.

50 Thomas Hulce he was also in National Lampoon's Animal House, he also produced a two day stage play based on John Irvine's Cider House Rules, one of the most moving things I have ever seen.

Have given a lot of thought to how I should approach this. Strictly speaking, I should dock you six points so your net yield from these even if they are all right would be -3pts.

But from your comment, I can assume that you are saying to me "okay forget the ones that have already been got - I'll have a go at another three to make the numbers up.

I am lenient on a first offence, so have decided to delete 42,43 and 44 from your first answer, which then makes you legal.
