Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Broadway Danny Rose (1984)?
a.
The reason
Mia Farrow
wears sunglasses most of the film is that

did not feel she could pass herself as a tough Italian "broad", so he had her wear the sunglasses most of the film to hide her eyes, making her seem more sultry and mysterious. The only time she removes the sunglasses is when her character is supposed to be more vulnerable.
b.
There were no less than three major drafts written for this film before the final rewrites by

. The first draft was written in 1993 by

(who was recommended to

by
Harrison Ford
while working on
The Fugitive
). It was sub-titled "Saucerman from Mars" and it features many plot elements used in the film including the Doomtown nuclear sequence, launch bay test fight, the jungle, Russian enemies, and as well as Indy getting married in the end to a fellow scientist called Dr. Molly. The second draft, written by
Jeffrey Boam
in 1995, simply called Indy IV had Indy searching for Noahs Ark. Boams draft contains elements that were used in the final film, including having Marion back from the first film, Indy having a son (called Abner and was described as a geek) and the main object was a crystal skull. This draft could have been used if the film was released in 1995, but was shelved at that time. The third major draft by

, subtitled "City of Gods" was very similar to the final film, with Marion in the film but also has Oxley in it, but removes Mutt.
Steven Spielberg
reportedly loved the script (according to Darabont he called it the greatest script hed read since
Raiders of the Lost Ark
), but Lucas rejected it for reasons not disclosed. Koepp looked at all the films previous drafts, and kept what he felt were good ideas. He tried not to make his work a "fan script," avoiding any trivial references to the previous films. He noted that the story would have to acknowledge Ford/Joness age, and also aimed for the mix of comedy and adventure from the first film, trying to make it less dark than the second film and yet less comic than the third film. Plot elements from all three drafts were used for the final script.

re-shot the scene in which Danny Rose tries to sell acts to Phil Chomsky, re-casting comedian and singer
David I. Kissel
in the role of the owner of "Weinsteins Majestic Bungalow Colony". Kissel persistently called it "Mrs. Weinbergs Bungalow Colony" during filming, and Allen, exasperated, asked the actor why he kept saying this. Kissel explained that his wife always bought a brand of kosher chopped liver called "Mrs. Weinbergs Chopped Liver," and he kept thinking of that. Allen, amused, but ever the perfectionist, taped the words "Weinsteins Majestic Bungalow Colony" to the top of a filing cabinet in the office. As you view this scene, early in the film, you will notice that Dave Kissel faces away from the camera as he says those words, and speaks with his back to the camera: he is reading the words "Weinsteins Majestic Bungalow Colony" off that "crib sheet" on the filing cabinet.
