All good Steve, apart from Moon River- Andy Williams didn’t sing the version in the film (which you got right)…

And I was thinking of a different film & artist for A Groovy Kind Of Love- I don’t know if your answer is correct or not yet…

A Groovy Kind Of Love – Phil Collins in Buster

Yep! Well done guys

That was obviously much too easy! Have to find some more difficult ones…

The problem with many of these type puzzles, is that even if you know only about half the answers off the top-of your-head, there are so many sources of online info, that it is “relatively easy” to find the answers without too much work…

This is another one of the puzzle where I “cheated” and looked up some of the answers and even checked some of the others…

Yeah, I knew this was eminently cheatable, which is why I ask people NOT to use search engines!

You’re right Leif, maybe cryptice clues would be better- only problem is, I’m no good at cryptic!

Search Engines are just a tool. It is akin to asking us to solve math puzzles without paper and pen or without a calculator: “do this algebra problem in your head”

This was a bit too factual – perhaps you should add a bit of brain-teasing crypticness, such as “Continental monarch that turned into a torpedo”.

Lines from films can be fun, but possibly too Google-able, so perhaps: “Who claimed they couldn’t get married because they were not a natural blonde, had been living with a saxaphone player and could never have children? And what was the final line?”

Audrey Hepburn in the film. I thought Andy did it. He is just so associated with this song…

Here is evidence that I was correct even if not the movie you are looking for: [SOUNDTRACK]
