1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Life of Her Own (1950)?
a.		Mr. Foxs implanting of sleeping powder into blueberries for unsuspecting guard dogs to consume was taken from another Roald Dahl book, Danny the Champion of the World, in which raisins were used similarly on unsuspecting pheasants. When the Dahl attorneys learned of this, they wanted it removed. But because it had already been filmed, Wes Anderson pleaded with them and was able to keep it in the film.
b.		Universal was so anxious to get a new Abbott and Costello film into theatres that they sped up the production by bringing in a second director, Erle C. Kenton (who directed at least two production numbers, uncredited) and created the climatic chase sequence using footage from Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. The rushed production schedule made this the most expensive Abbott and Costello film up to that time.
c.		Joe Towne who plays a technician in the film (as Ariel Joseph Towne) was hired during production as the on-set voice of Garfield.
d.		The haunting theme music here by Bronislau Kaper was reused two years later in MGMs _Invitation (1952)_, and under the title Invitation became an enduring jazz standard, especially associated with tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson.

b.		The party band in the movie is a Christian alternative rock band called Hawk Nelson.
c.		The ending in the original script had washed-up model Lily James, played by Lana Turner, at forty-five years of age working as a hotel maid. The original ending as filmed had Lily James committing suicide, following in the footsteps of Mary Ashton, the older model Lily meets earlier in the film who jumps to her death from a window. After filming finished in late March 1950 the film was shown to test audiences who gave such a negative reaction to this ending that retakes were done in mid-April 1950, to provide the film with the happier ending thats used in the finished film, much to the dismay of director George Cukor.
d.		During filming in the morgue their was at most two dead bodies in the cooling cabinets, of which there was a total of four. Kyle and Ethan only ever pull a body from the same container, and none of the other ones were ever opened save for a crack. It was reasoned that they had so much success with that container, it was rightfully the first to be checked and always delivered a body.
