There is a very tight relation between #9 and this man.

Ray B. · « **Reply #26 on:** November 05, 2009, 02:45:22 PM »

And a much more farfetched (and semantic) relation between #7 and this woman.

I don't know who she is... $:-\$

Ray B. · « **Reply #29 on:** March 02, 2010, 08:38:31 AM »

Actress, singer. Very famous in her time.

If I were to tally the points now, we'd have:
Ehhxekt, jotage 21: 6 pts
Allemano: 2 pts
Unfortunately there's still two cars unidentified, despite the clues given, and they'll all have to wait.

The loneliness of the forgotten puzzles...

This (see reply #25) is a SELF-portrait. As for the nationality of the artist, it should made obvious by one look at picture #9 in the first page of this puzzle.

... as for the girl who was a clue for #7 (see replies 26 and 29), she passed away last Sunday...

Allemano · « **Reply #33 on:** May 10, 2010, 09:32:02 AM »

that's Lena Horne...

Ray B. · « **Reply #34 on:** May 10, 2010, 10:57:24 AM »

Fine. Now you've got another clue in reply 13, and guess what the name of this girl is...

I assume No9 is a French film and the clue self-portrait shows the director. Right?

Ray B. · « **Reply #36 on:** May 11, 2010, 05:41:51 AM »

A french film, yes. Not the director, but even more concerned by the film, which is totally inspired by his work.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #37 on:** May 11, 2010, 06:29:32 AM »

Was this clue-guy to No9 an artist, like a painter?

Ray B. · « **Reply #38 on:** May 11, 2010, 11:49:24 AM »

I said it was a self portrait, right? Not exactly a painter. But very well known (in France at least) in his time.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #39 on:** May 11, 2010, 12:14:36 PM »

"his time" - was that pre-war?

Ray B. · « **Reply #40 on:** May 12, 2010, 04:43:15 AM »

Before and after WWII

pnegyesi · « **Reply #41 on:** May 12, 2010, 10:18:25 AM »

Was he active in cartoons or caricatures?

Ray B. · « **Reply #42 on:** May 13, 2010, 11:08:19 AM »

The word cartoon is too vague. Let's say yes, cartoonist, illustrators. I don't believe he made many caricatures (no political drawings as far as I know). He illustrated several books, made a few famous movie posters.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #43 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:41:06 PM »

Roger Soubie?

Ray B. · « **Reply #44 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:56:07 PM »

No.
This guy's style is very consistent, whatever the medium, cartoon or movie poster. Here's another example.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #45 on:** May 14, 2010, 03:33:17 AM »

The movie is La Rue sans Loi, the guy is Albert Dubout, the car, well, I don't know yet

Ray B. · « **Reply #46 on:** May 14, 2010, 03:46:06 AM »

Very well done, as this movie isn't mentioned on the Albert Dubout page (only on a "Dubout" page) on imdb!
The car is to be a "made for movie" car. The specialized website doesn't know more. I doubt that you could, and it's not what we're after.

Only one left!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #47 on:** May 14, 2010, 04:23:31 AM »

Lena Horne is phonetically similar to the name of the clue girl, right?

Ray B. · « **Reply #48 on:** May 14, 2010, 08:51:22 AM »

Yes. Not her whole name, only half of it.
Add that and the action that you see the clue girl doing, and you're halfway home!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #49 on:** May 14, 2010, 09:48:07 AM »

It's like finding a needle in haystack. In the first clue, that girl is jumping over a haystack. Is that from a movie?
