Sometimes the grid does the work for you!#8: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on Aug 19, 2016
I was just wondering earlier today what contribution I could make to this series. (It would have to be something easy, short words, etc. I have solved plenty of puzzles, but have yet to make one.) Then it hit me: How Green Was My Valley: Valley could become alley; Green is one of the available colors. Also I knew it had been a movie, but I really enjoyed reading the book in high school. Perhaps I'll think of another one.#9: Jill Tallmer (yidl) on Aug 19, 2016
tough one, Susan--I've been scraping the movies barrel, and there's very little left. Maybe a dropped letter from a tv show, book, a song, a name, a quotation?#10: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Aug 20, 2016
Good one.#11: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Nov 29, 2021
I saw this movie because people mentioned it "robbed" Citizen Kane and The Maltese Falcon of the 1941 Oscar. Yes, those two were better, but it was good.#12: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 26, 2023 [SPOILER]
Clever wordplay, and I definitely want to look up the rest of the series now. I'm impressed there are at least 34 others.
I thought those were staircases, so I was guessing "Up The Down Staircase." Except that's from the 1960s and Jill said 1941, so probably not.
