1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Amelia (2009)?
a.		The film role of Corie Bratter was originally offered to actress Natalie Wood who had already played opposite Robert Redford in two movies. Wood declined the offer though, because she wanted to take time off.
b.		The movie shows Amelia Earhart finishing third in the first Santa Monica-to-Cleveland Womens Air Derby in 1929, but does not explain why. At the last stop before the final leg of the race to Cleveland, Amelia Earhart and her friend Ruth Nichols were tied for first. Nichols took off right before Earhart, but her aircraft clipped a tractor on the runway and flipped over. Instead of taking off, Earhart ran to Ruths plane to drag her to safety. After Earhart was sure that Nichols was not seriously hurt, she took off for Cleveland but finished third largely due to her delayed takeoff. A Warner Bros. movie, Women in the Wind, is also based on this air race and features a plot loosely inspired by this incident.
c.		Composer Max Steiner re-used the main title music he wrote for this film for the main title music for Casablanca, albeit with a slightly different tempo and instrumentation.
d.		Less than a week before shooting was to begin, the people who owned the original choice of location for "Tibbys house" decided they didnt want a film crew inside their house after all. The filmmakers quickly found a new location for the living room scene and built Tibbys bedroom on a soundstage.

Gene Vidal (played by Ewan McGregor), who was widely assumed to have had a romantic relationship with Amelia Earhart as depicted in this movie, had only one child, Gore Vidal (played by William Cuddy). Gore eventually grew up to become quite a celebrity himself as a controversial but successful author, screenwriter and political activist.
b.		The first of four films made by real life couple and later husband and wife Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
c.		The cameo appearance of Clive Owen can be seen both as a nod to the fact that Owen was rumored to be a contender to replace Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in Casino Royale (denied by both EON and Owen), and a tribute to Peter Sellers (the most famous actor to play Inspector Clouseau) who also parodied James Bond in the spoof film, Casino Royale. Owens role was originally intended for Pierce Brosnan, but his contract with EON specifically prohibited him from appearing as a spy in a tuxedo for at least five years after leaving the role of 007.
d.		The taxi scene was filmed on a stretch of road in Madison, Ohio.
