HISTORY & THE MOVIES: This 1935 Best Picture Oscar winner tells of a 1789 event near the isolated Pacific Volcano of Tofua show

For the first 4 games of this week, we had two correct responses and a new champ. On Friday, we had the complete opposite with one correct response and a 2x champ! I don’t think Friday’s clue was the hardest, and not because I knew it. Oscar-winning films are must-study topic. Even if you can’t watch all of them, you can watch clips or trailers of the ones you’ve never seen. But I guess there’s no guarantee you’ll remember things you’ve seen or studied when you’re up there under pressure. I saw the movie referred to in Monday’s clue but just couldn’t remember the venue.

This week’s winners:
Mon 10/28/24 $19,601 Ian Taylor
Tue 10/29/24 $7,801 John Lui
Wed 10/30/24 $16,001 Joseph Carlstein

Ian Taylor defeated 4x champ Will Wallace on Monday. Then we had a new champ everyday until Friday, when Greg Jolin won his second game for a 2-day total of $50,002.
