1.) Part of the chain that connects the Mercury theatre and the Bond films is a film that is itself connected in some way to Mercury.
2.) The said film in question was quite unusual for its time (composition wise), and famous for camerawork.
I am basically giving it away now.
War of the Worlds?
Not what I am looking for.
'Psycho'?
Not the connection I am looking for. I am wholly willing to give more clues, as this has been so forgotten it isn't even fun to keep people guessing.
The Old Dogs:

2.) The said film in question was quite unusual for its time (composition wise), and famous for camerawork.
The New Tricks:
3.) The film that connects Bond and the Mercury Theatre to each other has a very familiar face in it from the franchise (the main thing that connects them).
4.) Blofeld and one of the characters of the film in question have a certain thing in common, you could say.
You are close! I just need a bit more!
As was Robert Brown?
I was looking for Bernard Lee in The Third Man! Also in the film was Orson Welles and Jospeh Cotten, both from the Mercury Theatre. The music of the film is done with a zither, making it a unique composition as well. All this connects Bond to the theatre. Congratulations, the game is yours! =D>
I have a feeling that some of the questions posed are far to complex and stumping people for such a long time. They get bored, and move on.
If you want these kinds of threads to thrive, then they need to be fast moving. Not ones where we're stumped with the answer for months.
Just an suggestion.
Quite true. Someone really needed a knowledge of classic film to even guess at what mine was to be. At the same time, you want to give members a fun puzzle to crack that isn't too easy. It's a balancing act.
Okay, so the grandfather of which world-famous professional wrestler was in 1967's You Only Live Twice?
Bonus: What was the grandfather's name, and what was his role?
Same thing happened with one of my quotes a while back, and as Brady said, it is most certainly a balancing act: you don't want it to be the most obvious thing in the world, but you don't want it to be something that will rack the brain for months and months.
Now we just need his name, and we'll be all complete (also I kind of need a tiebreaker, since Creasy got the main question, but Brady got the bonus and he got it first).
That's what I'm saying; the only thing it would amount to in that case would be whoever was first to find it. It ruins it; that's why I'm hoping someone gets it, because I can't bring myself to cheat, and it's going to bug me until I find out what his name is.
Creasy gets the next question, then. Good work, both of you!
