1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Broadway Rhythm (1944)?
a.		When the volcanic lava begins to destroy the mountain cabin, everyone runs to get onto a small boat. When filming this the first time, the boat sank. Jamie Renee Smith (Lauren) could not swim and Pierce Brosnan held her until a crew member pulled her from the water.
b.		James Cameron is planning to shoot some footage seven miles underwater in the Challenger Deep, the deepest point of the Mariana Trench and also the deepest location on earth. The pressure at such a depth would be over 8 tons per square inch - far beyond the capabilities of even the most advanced Russian military subs, which can handle only 1,600 pounds per square inch.
c.		Arthur Freed bought the rights to the Broadway musical "Very Warm For May", music by Jerome Kern and book and lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, as the starting point for the film, originally meant as a vehicle for Judy Garland. In typical Hollywood manner, by the time they were done all the original songs except "All the Things You Are" had been dropped, replaced by material from other writers and the project had been handed over to Jack Cummings. Three of the original songs were sung, fragmentarily, by George Murphy sitting at a piano waiting for Ginny Simms to come out. The name of the original play is also mentioned in passing in one of the scenes.
d.		"Screen Directors Playhouse" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on April 12, 1951 with Rosalind Russell reprising her film role.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Broadway Rhythm (1944)?
a.		Warren Beatty hates casinos and gambling, he did the film mainly as a favor to his mentor, director George Stevens.
b.		The original project was intended to be the fifth film in the "Broadway Melody" series, and was to star Gene Kelly, Eleanor Powell, and Lena Horne. Studio chief Louis B. Mayer decided instead to turn it into a vehicle to make a star out of his then mistress Ginny Simms. Horne was then placed into this film in a supporting role and her "Brazilian Boogie" and "Somebody Loves Me" numbers (originally filmed for Broadway Melody of 1943) was inserted into this one. Her other number filmed for Broadway Melody, "Honeysuckle Rose", was placed into Thousands Cheer along with two other numbers meant for the abandoned film: Eleanor Powells "Boogie Woogie" tap dance and Gene Kelly with the Flying Corbinos.
c.		The subtitle "Revenge of the Sith" is a play on the working subtitle for Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, "Revenge of the Jedi". For episode VI, that title was abandoned because George Lucas determined that revenge was not a suitable attitude for a Jedi. Since this film, however, is about the triumph of the Sith, "revenge" is entirely appropriate.
d.		Patricia Arquettes role was originally intended for Meg Ryan.
