    Hmmm. A bloody good film?

    I'll have a guess and say xXx with Vin Diesel?

    A digit is a number (0 - 9)
    So it can't be XXX...

    Quite right Anon, not XXX.
    Dear Posters, you will need a good knowledge of cinema, maybe going back further than you think!

    That's right Thepastykid, it is Fritz Lang's 1927 silent classic Spione (Spys) the film that wrote the book for spy films. If you can give it a whirl.

    Okay

    Which film has:

    2 Bond alumni
    A mystery for another character to solve
    That character - the mystery solver - has a similar status to Solitaire

    The Third Man?

    Another member of the cast had a link to one of the James Bond actors. Yet another member of the cast was in a Bond film uncredited.

    Much newer than The Third Man, but good guess.

    Edit: Let's make life a little easier - 1970s

    Okay not quite

    British film. Heavily butchered in editing. Fits into horror genre. Had a terrible Hollywood remake. Anyway I'd love one of you to get it..I got the first one, and I would someone to Equalise!

    Bond himself isn't in it.

    The mystery is a missing girl, the venue is an island. Both Bond alumni were in the same Bond film

    Well done, all yours. Great film by the way, and originally screened in the UK as a double bill with Don't Look Now...which is now how I always choose to watch it. If you are unsure...well...Britt Eckland dancing naked.

    I thought she used a body double though.

    Full body from behind where she is slapping the wall - that is a body double.

    Uh, The Lawnmower Man?
    Absolutely nothing like the Stephen King novel - which is why he insisted his name was taken off the film!
    Am I right?
