3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Double Life (1947)?
a.		"A Double Life" is about an actor playing Othello. In December of 1947, the year that "A Double Life was released, Arturo Toscanini, at that time considered the greatest conductor in the world, led a two-part radio broadcast performance of Giuseppe Verdis "Otello", an operatic version of the play, with Ramón Vinay singing the title role.
b.		One day, Martin Landau noticed that Alfred Hitchcock was giving instructions to Cary Grant, James Mason and Eva Marie Saint.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Double Life (1947)?
a.		The "Othello" scenes were filmed separately and in the exact order in which they occur in Shakespeares play, so as to give Ronald Colman the feeling that he was actually appearing in "Othello". Colman felt uneasy about performing Shakespeare, so director George Cukor and Shakespearean actor Walter Hampden, who acted as coach and advisor for these scenes, tried to make Colman as comfortable as possible in them.
b.		There were a total of seven drafts of the films screenplay.
c.		Cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond overexposed the scenes with the extraterrestrials deliberately so they would appear fuzzy and diffuse. When producer Julia Phillips saw the footage, she thought hed made a mistake and ordered the film re-processed so that the aliens came out with a normal contrast, and their rubber heads and suits were obviously fake. She then told Zsigmond hed botched up the filming and it looked awful. The upset Zsigmond told the lab to reprocess the film the way he originally said and everything looked fine in dailies the next day.

b.		In movie, Anthony John stars in a Broadway production of "Othello" that plays more than 300 performances and runs over a year. In reality, no production of a William Shakespeare play has chalked up anywhere near that many performances on Broadway; at best, most are lucky to run several months, like Richard Burtons four-month stint in a 1964 production of "Hamlet", which undoubtedly owed much of its success to his then-notorious relationship with Elizabeth Taylor.
c.		Fuck" and its derivatives are said 75 times, mostly by Carl Showalter. He says 10 of these during the scene where Steve Buscemi shoots Harve Presnell.
d.		John Humphries had never acted before doing this film. He has since said that he took his acting cues from Jo Canterbury whom he knew had some acting experience Off-Broadway. So as her performance became more teary and shrill, so did his.
