b.
The music in the film became the subject of a minor but telling episode in the Cold War.
Alfred Newman
, the illustrious head of the 20th Century-Fox music department, scored this picture. Its not readily known who decided to incorporate genuine Soviet music into the film, but Newmans score featured compositions by the USSRs finest:
Dmitri Shostakovich
,
Sergei Prokofiev
,
Aram Khachaturyan
and
Dominik Miskovský
. All four composers signed (or were ordered to sign) a letter of protest that claimed their music was appropriated via a "swindle" in order to accompany this "outrageous picture". No individuals were named, except "the agents of the American Twentieth Century-Fox Corporation". None of the composers would have had the opportunity to have seen the movie, thus it is to be assumed that they were put up to this protestation by the Stalin regime. Interestingly, the four "protesting" Soviet composers were at that same time under severe scrutiny themselves for composing music that was construed as subversive to the Soviet state, and for a time their heads were on the chopping block. So its also to be assumed that the four filed this protest as a gesture of their loyalty to
Joseph Stalin
(or, more likely, to save themselves from being executed). In any case, these composers were often obliged to make "statements" that they personally had nothing to do with. Coincidentally, Hollywood at this same time was beginning to be scrutinized by the House Un-American Activities Committee for signs of "subversion" of the American state, resulting its its own blacklist. See Slonimsky, Nicolas "Music Since 1900" 5th Ed. p.1066-7

Watchmen

and
Deborah Van Valkenburgh
were not told when to stop walking. Van Valkenburgh became irritated because they noticed they had reached a point where they were out of the cameras ranges.

When Trevor opens the box of stuff belonging to his lost brother, he pulls out an odd wooden item, declares that he doesnt know what it is, and sets it aside. The item is a Holmes Stereoscope, a device designed in 1861 by the American physician and writer,
Oliver Wendell Holmes
, for the viewing of so-called "stereocards". A stereocard is like a postcard which has a Left-view and Right-view photograph mounted alongside one another. When viewed through this stereoscope, the photographs are merged into one 3-D image (which was later adopted for the ViewMaster viewers and cards). The Holmes Stereoscope was a great source of entertainment in the Victorian era. It was, in a sense, the Home Entertainment Centre of its day, as it transported its users to exotic places all over the world. People bought packs of stereocards for their entertainment - in much the same way as we buy DVDs today! (Thus, a character in a 3-D movie having no idea what a stereoscope is, makes for a cute little 3-D in-joke...)
