Could it be Judy Garland in A Star Is Born (1954)?

I thought of the $$$ trilogy, but he has a name in each film:

AFFOD: Joe
FAFDM: Monco
TGTBATU: Blondie

The Terminator character is more famous though.

Not Judy Garland. A hint: the person who gave the actress the film rights to the play was Howard Hughes.

The Philadelphia Story is right.

There seem to be several answers to this question. He is a character in King Solomon's Mines, the partial name of a film 'Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold' (1987), an English stockbroker shot dead in his car by the IRA in 1974, Sean Connery's character in 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen' (presumably a tribute naming to KSM). Am I missing the point though?

Which classic western are these images from?

The screenplay was based on a short story published in which US maga-zine (the word is split so as not to be censored) that is no longer in circulation?

I think 8/14 is not bad, thanks for the question it was a good one, I'll try and come up with a good one for you later today, got to go now though.

BUT you wrote the question:

"Name movies the main events of which took place in San Francisco."

and one of the answers is:

Rod Taylor - The Birds (1963)

The 'main events' of The Birds take place in a small town don't they !? I haven't seen it in longer than 10 years, maybe even 15, but I'm pretty sure about that. Am I wrong?

8/14 is outstanding! Cool

True, most of the events of the Birds take place in a small town outside San Francisco. My apoloiges Embarassed

The Man from Laramie (1955) based on a short story published in the Saturday Evening Post is correct.

I can recognize only two movies:

To Kill A Mocking Bird
The Killing Fields

Not to hard really SF is pretty recognizable. 12 Angry Men, for Fonda was a pretty silly answer as it's all in one room, except 2 mins at the start and end; but the room could have been in SF.

Ok, my question:

Similar to your San Fransisco question. For each actor listed name at least one film where a significant portion of the film takes place in London.

1. Gabriel Byrne
2. Marilyn Monroe
3. Robert Donat
4. Scarlett Johansson
5. Hugh Grant
6. Michael Caine
7. Bill Murray
8. Ingrid Bergman
9. Daniel Craig
10. Helen Mirren
