Plenty of scarlet, but cut from a different cloth.

kihira, i thought that might be it, too. but then he said it's a color movie. which you'd think it'd be easy since there's only a couple dozen color movies from the thirties, but nothing's ever easy when it comes to one of gray's movie challenges.

Three-strip Technicolor, all the way through.

It's in the cards, really:
The game was dealt by a hungry man.
A Knight played a Jack without any eyes.
The deck, when shuffled once again,
Revealed a Joker in disguise.

"four feathers"?! you're kidding me! i've never seen the original and was only able to sit through about a half-hour of the remake. this whole time i was skipping it because i thought it was in black 'n' white.

"a man takes a gutter to wash in town"? "the big lebowski"!

I understand that the 2002 version with Heath Ledger (the "Joker in disguise" above) was pretty awful, though I haven't seen it. This one, from 1939, is widely considered the best of the half-dozen or so film adaptations of the original novel. They run it on TCM periodically. Once you've seen it—as I hope you will—most of my clues should make perfect sense.

Some cool dudes all right, but they're way cooler than Jeff Bridges.

:lol:

Look with your eyes, but see with your ears,
And soon the answer should be clear.
(Kihira is on the right track.)
"north to alaska".
Nary a Duke, but perhaps a dukedom?
#258

A free man, yes, but not Morgan.

(You can quote me on that.)
