The Child Murderer (Richard Widmark plays Cassetti, the murderer of Daisy Armstrong in that film)

None of you are right.

You have to use the fact that only certain people are circled (and more importantly which ones).

A question: feel free to ignore it - are the actors important? Some of them are fairly easy to recognize (John Gielgud, Richard Widmark), but others are not - and it's been aeons since I've seen the film, so.... ;)

The actors are not important. Just the position of the circled characters, taking into account the arrow in the middle.

Ok, a wild guess:
2010: The Text Adventure Game
The selected actors on the left are #3, 4, 6, and 7 - a total of 20
The selected actors on the right are #4 and 6 (or 7, depending on how you count) - a total of 10

Looking at them as divided, this becomes 2010.

Did that make any sense?

Nice thinking, but unfortunately not what I had in mind.
The numbers you've got are wrong. You didn't take into account the arrow in the middle.
Also, you should not divide the actors/ characters into two groups.

:) I see, you thought the arrow divides the two groups.
Actually, the direction of the arrow is more important.

New hint:

The arrow indicates the order in which the characters should be counted.
Also, one of you was very close to the correct answer.
