1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl (1919)?
a.		The film was produced by D.W. Griffith for Adolph Zukors Artcraft company, a subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. But when Griffith delivered the final print of the film to Zukor, the producer was outraged. "How dare you deliver such a terrible film to me!" Zukor raged. "Everybody in the picture dies!" Infuriated, Griffith left Zukors office and returned the next day with $250,000 in cash, which he threw on Zukors desk. "Here," Griffith shouted, "If you dont want the picture, Ill buy it back from you." Zukor accepted the offer, thus making this the first film released by United Artists, the production company formed in 1919 by Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and Griffith. It was a remarkably successful film, both critically and at the box office.
b.		The film was shot under the title "The Eighth Day". This was a reference to the Biblical creation story, which states that the earth was created in six days and on the seventh day, God rested. The original title implies the tampering of man with what God has already made, and "The Eighth Day" is still the name of the center in the movie where the children are engineered, as noted on the DVD deleted scenes. By the time the much-delayed release of the film came around, a Belgian film, Le huitième jour, had already been released in the US under the title "The Eighth Day".
