Game 43

At the Top in 1972 and 1973

The Poster Behind the Glass

The game's question

Step by step through the clues—the name usually shows itself before the end.

Early 1970s: the poster behind the glass, the ticket in your hand, friends saving you a seat in the dark. One actor was the name everyone came to see. Theater owners named him the No. 1 box-office star two years in a row, in 1972 and 1973. Circle the name together.

  • Glenn Ford
  • Clint Eastwood
  • Rock Hudson
Need a hint?

A compass can help: his last name joins one of its directions with a word for trees. His first name is short, one sharp syllable.
