Guys - despite pretending to have some affinity to the UK types and cricket, Richie would prefer not to have T when it comes down to it.

Short for Richard RIMB, no T in that name. Like Richie Benaud. Sorry to sound pedantic but got a thing about it.

 

[Richie]

Have I stumbled into the wrong forum guys!!

JessieGirl I did warn you about being only likely female here among us cool cat alpha males

 

[Richie]

and hope your back to health

Ditto RIMB. I wont explore the nasty details.

It was just a joke Richie

Like "I remember the last time my mother put me over her knee and spanked me"...."It'll be sore until Saturday I expect".

Ha! You fell for my trap.

You have every movie right but you have the name slightly off for one of them so you one letter wrong.

Edit: I expect I will give a clue to the final answer anyway but it is harder if you have a dodgy start.

Bit of trivia.

Which nation is credited with producing the first feature film.

Totally understandable - our name is our brand.

It would be as silly as calling me RIMFB (that extra letter chosen deliberately). Would make no sense at all!

Of course telling a public online forum with its resident trolls that you have a thing about being called Ritchie is not necessarily the smartest move

 

[RIMB]

TPOP???

Correct - those are the initials of a 1983 movie linking the 3 people from that other clue.

Bit of trivia.

Which nation is credited with producing the first feature film.

Australia, the feature film in question released on Boxing Day 1906 telling the exploits of the man with the bulletproof armour.

gggrrrrr I dont wanna google and cheat, Ill have to mull this one over....

I don't actually know what a "feature film" is and Snow White jumped to mind as the first full length something film from memory - which would make the USA the answer.

But there were silent movies before that and no doubt many other films too - so I will go with Britain first and back it up with a random Poland for fun.

I wouldn't want you to go down that path and further tarnish the poor reputation and self-worth you have supporting South Melbourne.

So a very Melbourne-esk clue:

When constabulary duty's to be done, a policeman's lot is not a happy one.

MSC got it.

EDIT:

On Boxing Day 1906 The Story of the Kelly Gang opened at the Athenaeum Theatre in Melbourne. It was the first multi-reel, feature-length film ever produced in the world.

A still from the film.

Actually Australia went on to have a thriving silent film industry after this.

It may actually be rebelliousfeminist974 who got it - I can't see MSC posting about the Kelly Gang above...?

This is a quote from a Gilbert and Sullivan play. Know this from my acting days. As far as I can go.

Maybe just name any of the three people from the 1983 film that you can and someone can both save your lazy arsed sanity and swoop for glory.

rebelliousfeminist974 who got it

It was. Apologies to him. I will make amends.
