A H(a)unting we will go.

(A)cross the Pacific

I would agree with #2.

It's a famous movie--I bet you've seen it

LIberties were taken with capitalization

Hang in there, you'll get it soon

I don't think so. Giving up.

Even with the hint in the title?

Ship [A]Hoy?

I know a hoy is a type of ship... lol I'm probably wrong.

I'm not asking for the moon--just for someone to solve this little puzzle.

This is why, to avoid a stalemate like this, I showed the title of the movies less the dropped letter in the first comment. This way people could ponder the answer as long as short as they cared to, then go to the first comment for a broad hint or to confirm that they had guessed corredtly. On one of your puzzles I went to a site that listed over 3,000 titles! No way am I going to look for a needle in that haystack, :)

I don't understand--all of my droplet puzzles are famous movies. If you go to 1942 movies, this one is in the top dozen. Also, I put a huge hint in the title and another in the comments. You could Google either hint and get the movie title.

I've been putting the year in the description. The puzzles themselves are exceptionally easy to solve, so the year is a hint for guessing the movie.

Sometimes the correct SPOILER comment is not hidden. Sometimes an incorrect guess (such as Amy's above) is hidden as a "SPOILER"--can I as the creator manage which comments are listed as SPOILER?

You have it! Bravo! What a relief!
Check out the thing in the corner.

I have no idea what the thing in the corner is. It looks like a bird but you said it's not a bird. ????

it's an arrow

I don't get it.Why an arrow? Can't see the connection.

where is it pointing?

Can we just drop the guessing games and explain what letter you dropped?

If you were indicating a direction you should have included a compass of some kind.

yes, making and guessing this compact puzzle requires a leap of faith and flexibility as to capitalization. perhaps a larger board would have made the joke clearer. I'm happier with the little ones. thank you for persevering. there's a ring of hell reserved for people who make puzzles that no one solves.

So, it's supposed to be NW Voyager? And no, I've never seen it, not heard of it or the 2 cigarettes. :(

That's it! I've seen it several times. It's one of Bette Davis's most popular films, even though the storyline is (typically) icky toward women.

It was considered a very sexy scene for it's time.

JT have you noticed how Aldege very politely and very obligingly chimes in with the answer if no one guesses his puzzles after a decent interval? No ring of hell for him. Just a big pat on the back for knowing when to cave.

I was shocked that anyone got my #8, and this #10 seemed infinitely easier. Go know.

I haven't seen too many Bette Davis movies. (I did do a puzzle of her, from when she was super young.)
I've seen All About Eve, and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

I wouldn't mind taking a whack at that puzzle. What number is it?

21225. It's really small and simple. Also try 21226 and 21228.

Okay, here I go

I hope to see more puzzles from you JT. I rather like the challenge and I like being forced to think about the answer. I'm often late in doing the puzzles, so the one time I was able to post the correct answer before anyone else gave my cleverness ego a boost.

Thank you Starkie!
