3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Baby Doll (1956)?
a.		When the film was released in 1956, it was enormously controversial for its extremely risqué subject matter. The Legion of Decency condemned the film for its "carnal suggestiveness". Francis Cardinal Spellman condemned the film in a stunning attack from the pulpit of St. Patricks Cathedral two days before the film opened, saying that the film had been "responsibly judged to be evil in concept" and was certain that it would "exert an immoral and corrupting influence on those who see it", and exhorted all Catholics to refrain from patronizing the film "under pain of sin". Cardinal Spellmans condemnation of the film led to the Legion of Decencys first-ever nationwide boycott of an American-made film produced by a major studio. All over the country, almost 20 million Catholics protested the film and picketed theaters that showed it. The Catholic boycott nearly killed the film; it was cancelled by 77% of theaters scheduled to show it, and it only made a meager $600,000 at the box office. The film was also condemned by Time Magazine, which called it the dirtiest American-made motion picture that had ever been legally exhibited. Surprisingly, despite the films sordid elements, the Production Code Administration gave it a seal of approval, but only after nearly a year of arguments. This was one of many examples of how the lax attitude of new Code official Geoffrey Shurlock, the successor at the PCA to the strict Catholic militant Joseph Breen, would lead to a schism with the Legon of Decency and the PCAs own downfall over the next few years. After this film, the PCA drifted farther and farther away from its traditional guidelines until it was replaced by the MPAA ratings system in 1968.
b.		Last Bond film to reveal the name of the next Bond film during the end credits, namely "From A View to a Kill" which was later changed to A View to a Kill.
c.		Oscar-nominated writing team Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz began a script that would pass through the hands of writers David Koepp and Steven Zaillian, before being ultimately refined by Koepp and Robert Towne. Towne kept revising the script all the way through production after Koepp left to direct The Trigger Effect.
d.		If you look closely at one of the racing cars, its white, has the Apple logo, and the number is 84. 1984 was the year Apple released the Macintosh, the computer that revolutionized Apple as a company. Pixar was previously owned by Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Baby Doll (1956)?
a.		Marilyn Burns, whose character was chased by Leatherface through the undergrowth, actually cut herself on the branches quite badly, so a lot of the blood on her body and clothes is real.
b.		Code title used during production: "Daydreamer".
c.		Feature film debuts of Eli Wallach and Rip Torn.
d.		Carrie Fisher was an uncredited script doctor on the film.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Baby Doll (1956)?
a.		Tennessee Williamss first choice for the title role of Baby Doll was Marilyn Monroe, (who was straining to improve herself as an actress at the time and wanted the role badly), although Elia Kazan preferred newcomer Carroll Baker, whose work he was familiar with from the Actors Studio in New York.
b.		Jim Jarmusch had intended that the shack that the fugitives find refuge in after escaping prison would have bunk beds, so as to make it look exactly like the prison cell. Incredibly, they found a shack were two bunk beds were already standing, so no extra furniture had to be added.
c.		The Springfield High School class of 1980, from Akron Ohio, had a surprise in their yearbook; personal behind the scenes photos, while in character, of both John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd on the set of the Blues Brothers movie. This turns out to be courtesy of Belushis uncle, who was the owner of a photography studio in the city. As a personal favor, both stars agreed to appear in the shots with the family members for the advertisement/school supporter section of the yearbook, with one of the pictures showing Belushi holding an antique camera with a sign on it which reads: "Look Mean... but smile!"
d.		Originally the dog owned by Molly Porter (Ashely Scott) and Danny Fisher (John Cena) named Shorty was going to be a bulldog. The producers changed the dog to a pug when the filming was done as pugs can be mistaken for bulldogs.
