I am proud to announce southernclay' puzzle consultation service! Watch for ad in the premium classified section! Edgar is $20 per answer cool with you, we split 50/50? ; )
That sounds good to me. We might have to give Mredburn a cut though for giving us this gravy train gig.

Most of the responses here, you guys are closer to finishing than I am, 19 more to go. And if this is the easy one, oh-boy! Can't wait to be slapping my head when I finally see the answers. I am glad I guess right on the puzzle #1 it may be the only points I get yikes!

I may not be familiar with all the answers but when I see them it will be myself that I will be mad at, because I bet I will know more of them than I could think of at the time.

Never mind, just saw your post of the entire puzzle.
No problem, just to elaborate:
A Train = GRAVY as in Gravy Train (I even threw in a subtle bonus hint on this one in post #43)
Little Guy = CHICKEN as in Chicken Little from children's tales - also a Disney animated movie
Victoria's Alter Ego = VICTOR from the movie Victor/Victoria
Half Pint = GILBERT Melissa Gilbert was called "Half Pint" in Little House on the Prairie and went on to use that name for her production company
Korean John = TRAPPER from Trapper John in M*A*S*H

never EVER heard of such a thing.
found reference to a movie called "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" - and tried "tinker" on a whim.

You were right Ed, over-thinking was the downfall. At least on my part! I was slapping myself on most of the ones I could not get. Can't wait till the next one though. Thanks for putting these on.

If you do, be sure to let my wife know. She is forever saying things like "I sure wish I knew what was going on in that mind of yours!"
