| Bonus Question: Name the couple and period film pictured above. |
A while back I had posted a few of these Period Films Couples Quizzes and they were fairly popular. Before starting to post I had made out a list of period films couples and this game scrapes the bottom of the barrel and uses up the very last of the couples on my list. I tried to make the clues easier but I'm sorry if these are quite hard to guess. Only a few of these couples are heroes/heroines from their story and most are from more obscure period dramas. I hope you enjoy guessing them anyway!
To Play: Read the brief blurbs about each couple and leave a comment guessing the names of the hero, heroine and period film they appear in. I will respond with your score. Guess as many times as you wish. I'll post the answers next weekend.
Scoring: One point for each correctly guessed hero name, heroine name and period film. Eight points can be earned by correctly guessing the couple and period film in the Bonus Question. A total of 50 points can be earned!
Period Drama Couples Clues:
Couple #1. Precocious writer who requests help from grandmother / Well-educated childhood friend
Couple #2. Blacksmith turned pirate / Governor's adventurous daughter
Couple #3. Free-spirited innocent young woman / Rich and stubborn doubter of her fidelity
