Movie Buffs Associated - Van Heflin Logic Puzzle

A five-member panel, determined by a ballot of members of the local Movie Buffs Associated at the Annual General Meeting, select a series of movies, starring a particular actor/actress, to be shown in the Municipal Offices function room each evening from Monday to Friday. The panel of Sally Boyden, Mark Thomson, Jessica Farmer, Laurie Davison and Mary Peters were re-elected for 2015.

Last week their choice actor/actress was Van Heflin, and the films chosen - one per member - were 3:10 to Yuma (1957), Battle Cry (1955), Gunman's Walk (1958), Airport (1970), and Possessed (1947). The films chosen were not respective, 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 men had showings on consecutive days, as did the women.
  • 2. Possessed was the first of the women's showings.
  • 3. Of the showings before 8:00 pm, one opened the week and the other was Miss Farmer's choice.
  • 4. The latest time showing was on Tuesday, one hour and 10 minutes ahead of that of Mr. Davison's choice.
  • 5. Either 3:10 to Yuma or Gunmans Walk opened the week and the other closed it.
  • 6. Miss Peters chose the only 1940's release.
  • 7. Gunman's Walk was the only release shown at 10 minutes past the hour.
  • 8. Of the showings on even-numbered days, Airport was first.
