I am sure the umbrellas are Cherbourgian.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thanks, Sue and ita! Since I didn't spoilerfont my post right in the first place, if I went back and fixed it now, it would make those who didn't spoilerfont after me appear to be outside of the norm. So I'll take my lumps and leave the post as is.

I think you may be right, Sue. I wasn't too happy with my original choice because it's not a view you have in the actual movie, whereas in yours, you do.

Oops, I left spoilerfont out of my last batch as I was typing it in a word document to copy and paste so it would look less suspicious from across the office. Fixed now.
Might the crosses be the Life of Brian?

Corwood, you could go ahead. Everyone else has spoilerfonted now.

It's the Algerian flag, but I think you're absolutely right (and Algeria makes it even righter, n'est-ce pas?).
Right! Also, pre-caffeinated. And thanks for the spoiler font info to you, too.
Also, Sue and I are right about Cherbourg vs. Singin' in the Rain.

OK, fixed now.

Might the Bond movie be Goldfinger ? Sort of the right colour.
Still not getting the moustache though. And what is that thing on top of it, the one with the Soviet star?

Fiona:
Goldfinger works for me on the Bond.

In the not-so-good film Gorky Park, William Hurt has that moustache and wears that hat. However, Jars suggested Dr. Zhivago, which is a better choice.

If I were programming a trio of TCM films, I think I'd go with a Careful Your Television Doesn't Ignite from the Sparks theme night and do To Have and Have Not, His Girl Friday, and Roman Holiday.
