Puzzle by Edward Safran, edited by Will Shortz
Six movie titles clued by actors who play the title character in each constitute the interrelated entries of this Wednesday crossword -- 21A. Sean Connery: “The Man Who
WOULDBEKING” (1975); 51A. David Bowie: “The Man Who FELLTOEARTH” (1976); 3D. Boris Karloff: “The Man Who LIVEDAGAIN” (1936); 9D Burt Reynolds: “The Man Who LOVEDWOMEN” (1983); 28d. Lloyd Nolan: “The Man Who WOULDNTDIE” (1942); 30D. Billy Bob Thornton: “The Man Who WASNTTHERE” (2001).
My favorite “Man Who“ movie? Not in today’s puzzle --
“The Man Who Knew Too Much”.
