This one may not be right because we also have this possibility:
5. FRANK LANGELLA + Z) PASSENGERS (Michael Sheen) = Frost/Nixon

You're right, I forgot about that.

When I said "similar signifier," I specifically intended to include the "/" here.

Re: SSS Movie Puzzle
Since both of them are too good not to be true, I either miscounted the number of actors used twice or one of the pairs using another actor twice is wrong.silverscreenselect wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 9:14 amWhen I said "similar signifier," I specifically intended to include the "/" here.

Re: SSS Movie Puzzle
FOUND MY MISTAKE!
I mixed up who played Harry and who played Walter. The correct match is
55. ELLIOTT GOULD + F) MISERY (James Caan) = Harry and Walter Go to New York
31. DANIEL RADCLIFFE (Any of the Harry Potter movies)
So Danny Kaye is only used once and Frank Langella used twice.

Re: SSS Movie Puzzle
I had a lot of fun coming up with this. And I still screwed up one matchup. I honestly didn't think it would take that long. Oddly, a lot of the films and clues were things I already knew and remembered from my own movie-going experiences over the years, and only a few were lookups specifically to make triples work.
Next time I'll try to make a puzzle that won't take this long but still presents a challenge. I know Frank has spent a lot of time on his puzzles, so I wanted to give him a chance to solve something for a change.
