Movie Buffs Associated - Vivien Leigh Logic Puzzle

Every week since its inauguration, the local Movie Buffs Associated have shown a series of movies chosen by a selection panel, determined annually by a ballot of members, in the Municipal Offices function room each evening from Monday to Friday, and starring a particular actor/actress. The selection panel for the current year is Sally Boyden, Mark Thomson, Jessica Farmer, Laurie Davison and Mary Peters.

Last week their choice was Vivien Leigh, and the films chosen - one per member - were Waterloo Bridge (1940), That Hamilton Woman (1941), Fire Over England (1937), Sidewalks of London (1938), and Ship of Fools (1965) but not respectively, and neither were they shown in that order, nor in the order in which they were released. Showing time differed each evening. From this information and the following clues, for each member, can you determine who chose which film, the day on which it was shown, and at what time?

  • 1. The mid-week showing was at 25 minutes to the hour.
  • 2. On odd-numbered days the men had showings, one of which was That Hamilton Woman, but not at 8:10 pm.
  • 3. Mary had the last, but not latest, showing.
  • 4. Miss Farmer's choice, which was Sidewalks of London, showed the day after that of Laurie's.
  • 5. Of the two showings after 7:35 pm, Jessica had one and Mary the other.
  • 6. Miss Boyden's choice, the 1940 release, was on an even-numbered day at 45 minutes to the hour.
  • 7. The week opened with a showing which had a time difference of 1 hour from the 1965 release.
  • 8. Thursday was not the day for showing either Jessica's or Miss Peters' choice.
  • 9. Fire Over England was shown on a later day than Laurie's choice.
  • 1. The mid-week showing was at 25 minutes to the hour.
  • 2. On odd-numbered days the men had showings, one of which was That Hamilton Woman, but not at 8:10 pm.
  • 3. Mary had the last, but not latest, showing.
