I’ve seen some great puzzles on the Web and I’ve enjoyed being destroyed by them. Here’s a puzzle for you… if you’re clever and want to figure it out. Remember: everything’s a clue and there’s no such thing as a mistake.

So, there’s a solution.  You must figure out what it is.  It is something shared by two towering artistic achievements of the Twentieth Century.  It connects the written page to the cinema.  The clues that follow will give some players the evidence they need to search far and wide, connecting themselves to ideas that they never suspected the existence of.  For a few players, the clues will work unconsciously to give them a solution without really trying.  Some of your solutions will be better than the actual solution.  We all work differently.  Obsession is for most of us the best answer.  Moreover, one’s lunatic obsessing consumes hours.  So that’s it.  Take a break from work.  Obsess until you get it.  The first person to post the answer in a comment and clearly declare it to be their answer wins.

I will withhold some clues and drop them in when I think they are needed.  Just use the comments to leave your thoughts, guesses, suspicions, speculations, and theories.  I’ll leave the puzzle going until I decide enough is enough, even if someone gets it early.  It’s perfectly fair to let other people play for a while.  If nobody plays at all I’ll just put it off to the side somewhere and move on.

I have whittled the clues down to a smaller group that should work pretty well.

Here are the clues:
