Quess the movie by the picture? (no TV movie allowed)

No, and I'm surprised you don't recognize that famous profile on the right.

LW: Hmmmmm. Well, the guy in the chair looks kinda' like Alan Mowbray. The guy on the right? I'm stumped. George Murphy?

Actually, the guy on the left looks like Robert Emmett O'Connor, perhaps best known as the befuddled detective in "Night at the Opera" ("I'm Henderson, plain clothes-man." "I'm Driftwood, old clothes man")

No, not warm. There hasn't been a guess on the film so I can't give a clue but the first one is the identity of the right hand man.

John Barrymore?

Is that Frank Morgan in the chair?

LW, I'd like to solve the puzzle. Is it "American Madness"?

Kudos to you. Yes, it's "American Madness."
How did you crack it?

Funny you should ask. I was pretty sure about my identification of Robert Emmett O'Connor, so I scrolled down his list of credits in IMDb. Since he played two kinds of roles -- cops and detectives (pretty broad range there) -- I looked for any role where he played a plainclothes detective. His character in "American Madness" is listed as "Inspector," so I followed the link and it showed the cover of the VHS edition, which looks like this:

Walter Huston's unruly coiffure on the VHS cover is the same as in the picture you posted. Thus, I shouted, "Eureka!"

But I never would have guessed that the guy on the right was Pat O'Brien. It doesn't look like him at all.

OK, maybe this will pose a challenge. It's probably a publicity still, but it shows the two main characters in the movie.

That was actually Pat O'Brian sitting in the chair with the unruly hair in my pic but it was Walter Huston with the unruly hair on the VHS cover.

"Tillie and Gus" Baby LeRoy gave it away.

Ah yes, LW, the inimitable Baby LeRoy! You are correct; it is Tillie and Gus (the ship's wheel in the photo should have provided a hint). Your turn . . .

Yes, the wheel and W. C. Fields were also helpful!

Time to get a little tougher (you're all too good):

Is that Rod Taylor?

No, but I can see why you might have guessed that.
Actually, that is fishing for clues, joe! You wouldn't do that in a courtroom, would you?

No, in a courtroom I operate on a strict cash-for-information transactional basis (it's amazing what $50, slipped into a witness's pocket, can buy these days).

But this isn't a courtroom; this is movie trivia, this is serious!

Anyway, if that's not Rod Taylor then I'm totally stumped (although for a brief moment I thought the guy with the pointing finger looked like Alan Young). So, if getting hints requires me to make some wrong guesses, I'm going to guess that your photo is from the 1978 motion picture "The Cat From Outer Space."

No, not "The Cat From Outer Space" but in a way you are warm (free clue).

Gee, y'all were on a roll and now I've stumped you!

Well, I've already admitted that I'm stymied. Although that guy in the back looks like Thomas Haden Church:



Anyone else want to take a SWAG?

Two more guesses and a clue is in order. It will actually be a second clue as joe's first guess contained a hint.

Two more guesses?

Is it:

The Cat in the Hat?
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof?
Cat Ballou?
That Darn Cat?
The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing?
Curse of the Cat People?
Cat Women of the Moon?
Mousetrap?
