Default The Great Maxwell Reed Prize Giveaway
I am going to ask 25 questions about Maxwell Reed.

If you wish to have a go please PM your answers to me.

The person getting the most correct answers will win a genuine R2 copy of the Optimum release "The Square Ring".

In the event of a tie .... the winner will be the person who PM'd their answers first.

The closing time and date for the quiz will be 6pm on Friday 23rd May 2008.

Most of the answers can be found by searching this site, Max features in both the 'Actors' and 'Features' sections plus numerous posts.

I expect the IMDB will be a handy 'research' tool as well.

Good luck!

The questions ....
  1. Where was Max born?
  2. Who was Max married to in the 50s?
  3. In which film did Max fall victim to a female serial killer?
  4. Which butterfly is also the title of a Max film?
  5. Max only played one bona fide 'hero' in his film career, what was the film and what was the name of his character?
  6. Max played a boxer in two films, what are they?
  7. In which film did Max star with Maureen O'Hara?
  8. What was Max's last appearance in front of the camera?
  9. What was the title of Max's US TV series?
  10. What film did Max first appear in?
  11. Name the two films Max made with Eric Portman.
  12. Max made two films with Siobhan McKenna, in which of those films did he play a Russian?
  13. In which Max film did a very young Anthony Valentine make an appearance?
  14. Max made one Italian film, what is the title?
  15. In the 60s Max 'guested' in many US TV series, in which one did he appear with Raymond Burr?
  16. In which film did Max fight with Stanley Baker?
  17. What is Batman's favourite Max film?
  18. Max played a speedway rider in which film?
  19. In which Max film does a character die with a fish attached to his head?
  20. Which Max film has a plotline similar to a famous Lana Turner/John Garfield film?
  21. In which film was Max almost hanged for allegedly murdering the man who is scheduled to execute him?
  22. Which Max film features Bryan Forbes as the hero's sidekick?
  23. What was the name of Max's character in The Dark Man?
  24. In which film did Max star with Zsa Zsa Gabor?
  25. In what year did Max die?

C'mon you lot ..... only three more quiz days to go and no clear winner has emerged yet so you're still in with a chance. It's a great prize ......

"In Basil Dearden and Michael Relph’s excellent version of Ralph W Peterson’s boxing play THE SQUARE RING, Reed plays the cynical Rick Martell, a boxer known for ‘throwing’ fights. Among such heavyweight talents as Jack Warner, Robert Beatty, Sid James and Kay Kendall, Reed more than holds his own. His Rick Martell is a fighter who has lost all his self respect and hides it behind a mask of pure bravado. His only hope of redemption is his girlfriend Frankie, played by Reed’s then wife Joan Collins."

Extract from: 'The Forgotten Man' by Dave Pyke

PM sent. And a big thanks for running this competition and for the prize, most generous of you. I'll be looking forward to seeing this film, it certainly has a fine cast.

I'm also sure Royal Mail will appreciate your kind donation to their coffers.
