Wait! I don't remember Jesus bein' in Destry Rides Again ???

Heck for THAT matter, was there even a CHURCH in Bottleneck?

So, if you're passin' here laffite, then here's one for the learned assembled here:

This British film featured an Ariel motorcycle on which one of the main characters is killed.

I don't care about anything right now but one thing. Was it Stewart and Carson?????????? I don't ask this for reasons of who's turn it is. I just want to satisfy my curiosity.

Thank yoooooooooo

I'm pretty sure when Lawrence earlier said "he was going for Jimmy Stewart" that he meant he was a bit surprised (and like I was) that you had first thought of the 12th billed Jack Carson as being Dietrich's "co-star" in this western and not Jimmy Stewart who I would think would normally be considered as such.

(...that's all)

I see. Okay, I guess the missed the "co-star" but I thought that Carson could still be answer because he was in the damn movie But I get it, he is not a co-star, per se. I thought it might be a trick question. Was Stewart an rising star? I thought he had already "made it." He had 23 pictures prior to Destry. Whatever

Thanks Dargo, for clarifying for me. I missed Lawrence's earlier comment.

Aaah! NOW I see where the confusion existed. You didn't think of Jimmy Stewart's career as being "on the rise" in the year 1939.

(...I suppose a case could be made for this, and considering he probably wasn't considered a "major star" until just the year prior to this and for his role in You Can't Take It With You)

And so now that we have this settled here, I'll now reiterate my earlier offering...

This British film featured an Ariel motorcycle on which one of the main characters is killed.

Do we need a hint here?

[LawrenceA]

Do we need a hint here?

Is it ole Larry of Arabia?

[Dargo]

Nope. T.E.Lawrence in real life and at the beginning of Lean's movie, rode a Brough (pronounced "Bruff") Superior to his demise.

(...good guess though, Lawrence...care for another hint here?)

Yeah, I don't know motorcycle models at all, I was just trying to think of a movie where someone died on a motorcycle at the end. Other than Larry of A, all I can think of is Easy Rider, and that certainly isn't British, so yeah, I guess another clue is needed.

Sure thing then.

The movie in question, and as was your earlier guess here, is set during wartime.

[Dargo]

The Second World War, specifically.

[Dargo]

Next hint:

The actor who is killed while riding his Ariel motorcycle during the film in question here, is also briefly shown riding in the sidecar of Harley-Davidson motorcycle in a film made just a few years prior and directed by the same man.

[Dargo]

Next hint:

The character who dies in the motorcycle crash was on his way to save the life of the lead character.
