Re: Cryptic Films

No. The title is a bit punny and features some famous people (at the time, maybe) in cameos.
I saw this film ages ago and one scene, with a Doris Day soundtrack, has stayed with me.

Re: Cryptic Films

Devo, I realise it doesn’t fit all the clues but it would have been apt, given Dominic Cummings plans this week if it was Hitchcock’s “The man who knew too much”. However I think the only clue it fits is the Doris Day soundtrack...

Re: Cryptic Films

I should make it clear the DD soundtrack bit applies to one scene only.
As for Johnson, he is largely a manufactured character and that includes his name.

Re: Cryptic Films

The actor in the title role is Canadian.

Re: Cryptic Films

Devo - I guess it has to be a Donald Sutherland film but can’t see any that fit the clue. From the cameo remark it would seem to be either M.A.S.H or The Dirty Dozen but can’t see how either tie back to the original clue.

Re: Cryptic Films

You're right. This is one of his less well-known films and is heavily influenced by a famous Italian film.

The decapitation is a literary allusion.

Re: Cryptic Films

No. The title is three words and is a pun of a classic Victorian novel.
