a.		One musical theme that Thomas Newman composed for the score did not end up in the final film but still appeared both in one of the trailers and on one of the DVD menus.
b.		The movie Billie Jean and the others watch about Joan of Arc is Saint Joan.
c.		On Stanislaw Lems personal website, shortly before he passed away, he posted that he felt this adaptation had overemphasized the human relationship dilemma in his novel, when he had been trying to propound what an Encounter with something truly Alien might be like. The planet Solaris is about as far from any preconceptions of Alien life as you can get, so identifying with Rheas Phi-Creature misses the point that all the Phi-Creatures are Solaris.
d.		In a 1950 memo to Wilder, Douglas objected to several aspects of Chuck Tatums monologue about missing New York City: "No pastrami! No garlic pickles! No Madison Square Garden! No Yogi Berra!" among other things, Douglas asked, "... what the hell is a Yogi Berra!" Douglas secretary, who was amused her boss didnt know who the New York Yankee star was, told him he was a catcher.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Ace in the Hole (1951)?
a.		Ginger Rogers was first offered the leading role but turned it down.
b.		While the 229-minute version is touted as the definite version of the film, Sergio Leone wanted the film to have a running time of 250-265 minutes. The 229-minute version left out 45 minutes that Leone considered essential on the cutting room floor, including: further explanation of the mob/labor relationship, Noodles meeting Carol in 1968, and a good deal of footage featuring Noodless relationship with Eve.
c.		When the film was released, it got bad reviews and lost money. The studio, without Billy Wilders permission, changed the title to "The Big Carnival" to increase the box office take of the film. It didnt work. On top of that, Billy Wilders next picture Stalag 17 was a hit and Billy Wilder expected a share of the Stalag 17s profits. Paramount accountants told him that since this picture lost money, the money it lost would be subtracted from the profits of Stalag 17.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Ace in the Hole (1951)?
a.		Alfred Hitchcock originally wanted Vera Miles to play Madeleine, but she became pregnant and was therefore unavailable.
b.		James Camerons two choices for Bud Brigman were Ed Harris and Jeff Bridges.
c.		Actor Victor Desny brought a lawsuit against this film while the script was being written. He claimed the film was an unauthorized version of the Floyd Collins story. Collins was actually stuck in a cave years earlier, as mentioned in the film. Since Desny owned the rights to the Collins story, he claimed copyright infringement. Desny prevailed, although Wilder appealed. The California Supreme Court ruled in Desnys favor. (Desny v. Wilder, 46 Cal. 2d 715, 299 (Cal. Sup. Ct. 1956).)
d.		Errol Flynn was criticized for playing heroes in World War II movies. Tony Thomas in his book Errol Flynn: The Spy Who Never Was states that Flynn had tried to enlist in every branch of any armed services he could but was rejected as unfit for service on the grounds of his health. Flynn had a heart condition, tuberculosis, malaria and a back problem. Flynn felt he could contribute to Americas war effort by appearing in such films as Edge of Darkness; Northern Pursuit; Dive Bomber, Objective, Burma!, and Uncertain Glory. Reportedly, Flynn was at his most professional and co-operative he ever was whilst working on Second World War movies. The studios apparently did not diffuse the criticism of Flynns state-of-health as they wished to keep it quiet for fear of his box-office draw waning.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Ace in the Hole (1951)?
a.		The studio constructed a replica cliff dwelling at a cost of $30,000. The set was located behind the Lookout Point Trading Post on U.S. Route 66, west of Gallup, New Mexico. After filming was completed, the set was left intact and the owner of the trading post used it to draw tourists to his store.
b.		Pat Roach: as Count Lippe, the large villain in the health clinic (equivalent of Guy Dolemans role in Thunderball).

c.		The freeway exit sign (the one listing Whipple Ave, Woodside Rd, Marsh Rd) passed during the freeway chase is the same sign that you would pass on the real-world highway 101 if you had just left the headquarters of Oracle Corporation and were heading southbound on 101.
