In a 50 year old movie classic, two sisters are killed by the
same person. One murder takes place at the movie's beginning
and the other toward the end. Both killings involved some
highly unusual murder weapons.
The killer of the two sisters is not slapped with 20 to life
in the local pen. Indeed, the killer is set free to make a trip
back home, which is where the action starts. If you can
remember the movie where all this occurs, you should have no
trouble naming (1) the murderer, (2) the two victims, and (3)
the murder weapons.

charges the husband with murder. He didn't ask them any
questions and didn't do any other investigative work. How did
he know the husband was guilty?

The king dies and two men, the true heir and an imposter,
both claim to be his long lost son. Both fit the description of

general appearance. Finally, one of the elders thought of a way

to the test and the other flatly refused. The one who agreed
was immediately sent on his way, and the one who refused was
correctly identified as the rightful heir. What was the elder's
test?

ticket. Why?
