4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Little Night Music (1977)?
a.		Contrary to popular claims, this was never banned in the UK. It originally received an "X" rating in 1971 and was withdrawn from distribution in 1973 by Stanley Kubrick himself. One of Kubricks reasons for withdrawing the movie in the UK was that, according to his wife Christiane Kubrick, he and his family received several death threats because of the film. In the 1980s and 1990s, British fans who wanted to see this movie would have to order it from video stores in other countries, usually France. In 1993 Londons popular Scala Film Club showed this movie without permission. At Kubricks insistence, Warner Brothers sued and won, causing the Scala to close in near bankruptcy. In 2000, the year after Kubricks death, the film was released again throughout Great Britain and received an "18" rating.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A Little Night Music (1977)?
a.		The battle with Wookiees dates back to the earliest screenplays of Star Wars. Originally, the Wookiees were supposed to help the Rebels conquer an Imperial bunker. This idea was the basis for the Battle of Endor in Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, but instead of using Wookiees, George Lucas decided to use a smaller furry race and call them Ewoks.
b.		Disneys original title for the movie was, "Two Fabulous Characters." Apparently, the only reason these two stories are linked together is the fact that their main characters are "prone to disaster".
c.		Several changes were made in adapting the stage version of A Little Night Music for the screen. At least four songs were deleted. Two songs (The Glamorous Life and Night Waltz) were entirely rewritten and reinterpreted. The Greek-chorus singing quintet was removed. Arguably, the most important change was setting the story in Austria instead of Sweden (which was not only the setting of the stage musical but also the setting of the Ingmar Bergman film that is its source material). This change in setting also slightly changed some characters names. Fredrik, Fredrika, and Henrik were altered to be Fredrick, Fredricka, and Erich, respectively. Also, the last name of the Count and Charlotte was changed from Malcolm to Mittelheim.
d.		Director Michael Bay didnt like the script and often engaged Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in discussions about how the dialogue and scenes could improve. He often allowed them to improvise while the camera were rolling. He secretly told Will to call Lawrence a bitch before the car-scene. The whole "two bitches in the sea" was improvised, as was Martins comment when Téa Leoni called him gay.
