We received an enthusiastic response to our first post on uncaptioned film stills in our Ludlow-Santo Domingo Collection, including a very nice writeup in the Boston Globe. Thanks to all who posted comments to help us identify those mystery movies. It seemed like readers had fun with the process, so we’ve asked the cataloger of the collection, Elise Ramsey, to provide us with another batch. As last time, please post a comment if you know what movie or performer is shown, and be sure to include the number of the photo.

Number 2 is Peter Cushing. 4 looks a bit like Ali McGraw. Is 18 Harold Lloyd?
Number 1. appears to be Gina Lollobrigida as Guilietta Cameron from Go Naked In The World, 1961.

MGM. ID’d via match to IMDB details, film poster, and Alamy still Image ID: BP9RKE.
Photo 19 looks like young Cassandra Peterson aka Elivra.
Photo 2 is Peter Cushing in “The Curse of Frankenstein.” No. 22 is Basil Rathbone. No. 24 looks like Ava Gardner.
17 is THE MUMMY (1959)
2 is Peter Cushing–I think it’s the closing moments of CURSE OF FRANKENSTEIN
8 is Lon Chaney. I think the film is LAUGH, CLOWN, LAUGH–but it could be TOWER OF LIES
Image 9 is a scene from 1964’s “Children of the Damned”.
The children are standing on the steps of a derelict church where they have been hiding from various British government authorities, and the British military.
