1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Circus World (1964)?

David Niven
was originally cast as Cap Carson but left after one of the earlier script rewrites, complaining that it was becoming simply "a typical

d.
The real
Jean Hill
filmed a cameo in which she played the stenographer during her own questioning. The shot was composed so that her face and the face of
Ellen McElduff
playing her would ironically be seen on split sides of the screen. But it didnt make the final cut. Her cameo can be seen as an outtake on the 2-disc special edition DVD.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Circus World (1964)?
a.
This movie is
Robert Benton
s homage to film noir and suspense thrillers of the 1940s and 1950s, particulary inspired by the works of
Fritz Lang
and
Alfred Hitchcock
.
b.
While filming a scene where the main tent catches fire, John Wayne was almost killed when the set collapsed. As he was "fighting" the fire, Wayne was to be cued by the assistant director when to leave before the set was to collapse in flames. Either Wayne didnt hear the cue, or the a.d. mistimed it (it was never determined which), but the flaming set began to collapse before Wayne got out. He escaped with just a few seconds to spare before the entire set would have fallen down on top of him.
c.
There are at least two references to the fall of the Roman republic in the movie. The first is when Bruce meets Harvey at the restaurant and Harvey mentions how the Romans would offer unlimited power to a single citizen to guide them through a crisis. Rachels character incorrectly states that the last person to get this mantle was
Gaius Julius Caesar
- in actuality, Caesar coerced the Roman senate to give him this power. The second reference is when the Joker mentions the location of Harvey and Rachel. He says that Harvey was at 250 W 52st. The other address was Avenue X and Cicero. We know later that he was lying and that Harvey was located at Avenue X and Cicero as the final scene takes place where Harvey lost his loved one, namely, 250 W. 52 St. Cicero was the Romes most famous orator and statesman, and was a vocal opponent against Caesar and tyranny. Furthermore, in ancient times Caesar represented chaos (as evidenced by Lucans civil war - where Caesar invokes fortune or chance before he goes crosses the Rubicon and goes to war against Rome) much like the Joker or Harvey later on in this movie. The analogy then is that Harvey, the gifted statesman and orator, is put against chaos and chance and ultimately fails, only to become the villain. A third reference to the fall of the Roman republic is the fact that Jim Gordon, Harvey Dent and Batman form an agreement. In modern times the agreement to control the senate by Caesar, Pompey the Great, and Crassus (the financier of the venture) was known as the first triumvirate. Batman, Gordon, and Harvey are similarly trying to control Gotham. As mentioned above Harvey represents Cicero at first (the model citizen) and then Caesar when he becomes a villain. Gordon is Pompey, the aging general who is trying to do good, and thinks this is the only way how. Batman is Crassus, as he brings together and finances the venture.
d.
The Fight scenes were originally conceived by using old action figures and walking them through each sequence.
3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Circus World (1964)?
a.
Frank Capra
began this project but left due to unhappiness with the script (Capra wanted to use his own script but John Wayne (I) insisted that
James Edward Grant
be brought to rewrite it) and budget.
b.
When showing at the old drive-in theaters in Australia every ticket holder was given a pamphlet with approximately 30 "caveman words" and an English translation for each word to listen for through the movie.
c.
In the funeral scene, soldiers in the military band are played by members of the Riverside Community College marching band.
d.
It is widely believed that
Ted Turner
had plans to colorize the film, but that wide public outcry led to his decision not to. The rumor came from a tongue-in-cheek comment from Turner that he would colorize the film in order to bait critics of the process. In actuality,
Orson Welles
had the rights to the film, and Turner couldnt have colorized the film even if he had wanted to. Nonetheless, the controversy over the potential alteration of this film was one of the catalysts that eventually led to the film industry requirement that all future video and TV releases of films that have been altered in any way - including the standard conversion from widescreen to "pan and scan" - must carry a disclaimer indicating the film has been "modified from its original version." It is also widely believed that when he heard about it, Welles supposedly roared, "Tell Ted Turner to keep his crayons away from my movie!" However, being that he owned the rights to the film, it is highly unlikely that he ever made any such statement.

a.
First of eight films in which
Marjorie Main
and
Percy Kilbride
portrayed Ma and Pa Kettle.
b.

Ben Hecht
.
c.
An electrician was electrocuted and killed in front of the cast and crew. Because of this, production was almost shut down but eventually continued after a memorial service.
d.

5.

c.
John Wayne
was suffering from the early stages of lung cancer during filming (although he didnt know it at the time). After the near fatal fire scene accident he started having a chronic cough and that night started spitting up spots of blood (he continued to smoke still unaware of the real cause). The intense fire stunt seemed to inflame his condition.
d.
