    Whether this helps the Festivities or not is a mute point, but here is an F!

    It links three cities that feature in a film, a ballet and an opera in that it appears in each of the titles.
    So that's three fillums with each title containing a city starting with F, the same city in each case?

      When I posted it I thought "That's not clear, is it"

      No there are three different cities in question, one in each title and the F word appears in each of the titles as well. It only appears once in a city name.

            Take care Flay you don't want to slip and hurt yourself. Don't forget ballet, film (with music) and an opera.

            Does it help if I say one of the cities doesn't actually exist?

              is the opera by Weill ?
              is the ballet to music by Morton Gould ?

              by film with music do we mean a musical ?

                Probably influenced by last night's MR James, I've been pursuing Fear.

                  Mercia is on the money!

                  Do continue.

                  The film is most definitely not a musical. I just meant that the film could be known by way of a composer.

                    We'll see. I was thinking about Florence as in Souvenier/Anna Karenina but obviously not now.

                    It's been a busy morning cleaning up at the Flays. A candle set alight some decorations last night. The brief fire and snowshower of plasticky soot made quite a mess and ruined the food. Mind you it could have been a lot worse...

                      sorry to hear of your troubles flay

                      The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny - opera
                      Fall River Legend - ballet

                      no idea about the film. I suppose it could be fall in the sense of autumn or as in conquered by an enemy
