4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Anatomy of a Murder (1959)?

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Anatomy of a Murder (1959)?
a.		The part played by Lee Remick was first offered to Lana Turner, who agreed to take it on the condition that she would wear gowns designed exclusively by her personal couturier, Jean Louis. When director Otto Preminger objected that such gowns were not suitable for the role, Turner turned down the part. Columbia was ready to give in to Turners demands but Preminger resisted and gave the role to Remick, then almost a beginner.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Anatomy of a Murder (1959)?

b.		Erikas house was the same house used for the scene Joe and Nigel were talking in at the beginning of the movie.
c.		Steve Martin immediately accepted to reprise his role for this sequel because of his love of the character and the opportunity to do very physical, burlesque comedy.
d.		Otto Preminger originally wanted Lee Remick for the part of Laura because he had been impressed with her debut in A Face in the Crowd and knew that she could play a young sultry woman (even though Remick was 8 months pregnant when Preminger approached her for the role). A few weeks later he called to tell her that he had given the part to Lana Turner and instead offered her a smaller role of Mary Pilant, but Remick boldly refused. On an especially hectic day when Remick received a call saying that she had the part of Laura, she thought it was a joke and hung up. It took another phone call to convince her that she truly did have the lead female role.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Anatomy of a Murder (1959)?
a.		Harry A. Blackmun, who plays US Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, served as a US Supreme Court Justice from 1970 to 1994.
b.		Meagan Good was originally set to play the character of Shuga, but conflicting schedules prevented her from being available.
c.		The Special Edition DVD and the Blu-Ray disc feature several "workprint" takes showing early passes at dialogue. This early voice-over work differs from the final dialogue in several ways: the Skeksis speak in a foreign language, Frank Oz provided the voice of Aughra (sounding very similar to his voice work for Yoda in the Star Wars movies), and the Mystics were referred to by (presumably) their original name, the ur-Ru. The novelization was apparently based on this earlier version, referring to the "Trial By Stone" contest by its original name - "Hakskeekah" - and calling the Mystics the ur-Ru. In the final film, one reference to ur-Ru was not redubbed: when the Mystics enter the Skeksis Great Hall, SkekOk, the Scrollkeeper sees them and shouts "Ur-Ru!" Moreover, in the films German dubbed version the Mystics are also referred to as ur-Ru. The filmmakers decision to rename them came too late for the German dialogue track, which was already in the making at the time.
d.		The "law library" in the courthouse was actually filmed in the Carnegie Public Library in Ishpeming Michigan. The door that was opened in the Courthouse, which is in Marquette, Michigan, was the door to the mens restroom. The movie was filmed on location in Marquette County Michigan.
