Here's the 3rd clip for the second Name That Movie game currently going on here at Cinema Styles. Bob got the first, Flickhead got the second but who will get the third? This clip is presented a little differently. It has sound as it opens, then goes mute, then sound again then mute again. Why? Because they wouldn't stop saying the character's name that's why. They must say it five times in just four seconds and so I muted it. He's not even a big character in the movie, but out of curiosity, since they say his name so much, I googled it and lo and behold, the movie title populated 8 of the first 10 hits. I googled many different variations of Embassy Club too, just to be on the safe side, and that damn name has been used in so many movies of the period you have a better chance of randomly picking a title from the IMDB database and getting the right one than finding it through that search. So here it is, odd muting and all.

Oh, Flickhead, I think you're right.
Whoa, Flickhead gets two in a row! He leads the new game 2 to Bob's 1. Yes it's Lost Horizon (although Bill's guess was sooo close. I would have also accepted The Scotch Drinker). The character is Lord Gainsford. Each one of those guys at the table says, "It's Lord Gainsford" or "Gainsford" or "Look it's Gainsford." They really burn the name onto your memory in a short amount of time. Anyway, if you google that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th links are all Lost Horizon.
Congrats again Flickhead.
A short post from a different clip of the movie will go up a little later.
Thanks!
And thanks to Bill and Marilyn for playing. I'm going to have to figure out some parting gifts to get more people to guess.
That makes me mad, because this was my mom's favorite movie, and I must have seen it with her several times. But it has been years. Oh well. Good work, Flickhead.
Yeah, I've actually seen The Lost Horizon, but it's been a REALLY long time. Maybe if you'd used a clip of a bunch of people sitting around talking about Shangri-La, I might have had a better shot.

Thanks Marilyn, I'll go check it out.
