Old Movies

I am an old movie fanatic! Although born in 1975, I could tell you the names of actors/actresses from 1930-1960 better than I could tell you current ones.

Anyhow, here is an extremely DIFFICULT old movie quiz that I created for a team activity at work last year. If you feel up to the challenge, see if you can answer one! Or ten! I'll put the answers in a later post!
