Last week's Movie Quiz winners

Last week's quiz movie was Anatomy of a Murder (1959), starring the quartet of fine stars in the above poster and directed by Otto Preminger, and with, as quiz winner Michael Kelly was first to identify, "title sequence designed by the great Saul Bass." Speaking of those titles, native New Yorker Joe Rosenberg wrote: "Did you know they painted those "bodies" all over the streets of New York prior to the release? I can remember almost every corner had one of those logos out on the street-- it was wacky."

One of last week's clues was a mention of the classic jazz album with the logo on the cover. Of course, I was referring to the soundtrack by Duke Ellington, and I realize, as Hank Parmer pointed out, that I made it sound like a separate, non-related album. That's because, in a way, it was. Jim Youngdahl put his finger on what I've always found slightly odd about it: "Great movie, great album . . . but is it me, or did the score not really fit the movie so well? The music seemed more action-oriented than the plot of the movie."

So congratulations and a drink with Arthur O'Connell (on you) to the following quiz winners: Wayne Palmer, Mark Gisleson (welcome back, Wege!), Rev K, Heather Cumming, Michael Kelly, Jim Youngdahl, Hank Parmer, Christina O'Sullivan, Joe Rosenberg, E. Yarber, Margali, Tim McDonough, Corey Anderson, Bill Hearne, and Kevin Musolino. And special congratulations to Eric Castro, who wins the grand prize, The Toxic Avenger: The Novel!
