Pierre Boulle
s original novel to be anti-British.
Charles Laughton
,
James Mason
,

,
Noel Coward
and

were all approached. It was only after
Jack Hawkins
had been cast in the part of Major Warden that Guinness reconsidered his position, largely at Hawkins instigation.
c.

2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A New Leaf (1971)?

The film as delivered by

c.
Film debut of
Desiree Cousteau

3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A New Leaf (1971)?
a.

4.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: A New Leaf (1971)?
a.
The original story included a sub-plot in which Henry discovers from the household accounts that Henrietta is being blackmailed on dubious grounds by the lawyer, McPherson, and a third party; and Henry poisons both of them. This darkly casts Henrys eventual resignation to lead a conventional life with Henrietta as his "sentence". By eliminating the sub-plot, Paramount got rid of the excess (3 hour) running time, avoided the awkwardness of Henry getting away with murder, and transformed the same ending into a positive and rather sweet statement of love and personal redemption.
b.
Director
Steven Soderbergh
originally wanted to shoot the movie in black and white. Warner Brothers said he could if he drastically reduced the filming costs, so Soderbergh changed his mind.
c.
Carl Betzs movie debut.

You Can Be Killed By Internal Electrical System If This Meter Is Tampered With". Also written on the parking meters was the rate - 1 minute parking cost $3. On a magazine rack were to be found magazines with mocked up twentieth-first covers; these magazines included Krotch, Zord, Bash, Creative Emotion and Droid. A skin magazine called Horn had headlines reading "The Cosmic Orgasm", "Hot Lust in Space", "Tit Job Review", "Scratch and Sniff Centrespread." Crime magazine Kill had covers reading "Multiple Murders - Readers Own Photos", "98 Dead in Spinner Dive", "Death Penalty Snuffs 12 Jurors in Freak Accident." Another magazine, Moni, had headlines "Earthlings: Pay Big $ to See Future" by M. Deeley, "Higher Tech" by L.G. Paull and "Illegal Aliens" by R. Scott.
