I like old movies and cryptograms. Some time ago I got the idea: why not make a book that combines both old movies and cryptograms? The result is this book that contains a set of 50 old movies of which the director’s name, the year of presentation and, a photo of some of the protagonists are reported.
The movie title can be obtained by solving a cryptography puzzle that follows the photo.
A series of hints that can help solve the puzzle is at the bookend, together with the list of movie titles that you can watch if you were not successful in solving the cryptograms.
