a.
Carissa Capobianco

b.
Crowds can be difficult to manage simply because of the effort needed to maintain their concentration. During the filming of
Grand Prix
there was a scene where a flaming car is driven into the pits. It was about 4 oclock in the afternoon and the director,
John Frankenheimer
, was disgusted by the crowds lack of reaction to the dramatic action during the rehearsals. They appeared to be more interested in their tea break. Frankenheimer called his special effects man over and told him to blow up the tea van when given the signal. The unit went for a take. The flaming sports car came into the pits. The crowd looked on.

(from "Production Management for Film and Video" by Richard Gates)
c.
According to Director Brandon Landers over 6 hours of footage was damaged and could not be used in the final cut. He says it is some of his best scenes.
d.
One of the biggest news stories of the 1940s was the birth of the first known set of quintuplets to the Dionne family in Canada, so Trudys set of six babies would have been an even bigger sensation. This explains why, in the montage of international reactions to the births, the Canadian Premier is quoted as saying that the news is "Possible, but not probable" in the evident hope that his nation will not lose its claim to fame. Also, the reason that Hitler and Mussolini are portrayed as receiving the news of Miss Kockenlockers happy event with anger and dismay is because both Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy had a policy of encouraging motherhood and an expanding population in their countries, even offering cash bonuses for large families.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Dance of the Dead (2008)?

c.

d.
Stanley Kubrick
initially approached
Arthur C. Clarke
by saying that he wanted to make "the proverbial good science-fiction movie". Clarke suggested that his story "The Sentinel" (1948) about finding an alien artifact on the moon, would provide a suitable premise. Clarke had written it for a BBC competition, but it didnt even make the shortlist. The movies opening scene has elements in common with Clarkes story "Encounter at Dawn," and the ending is arguably related to his beloved novel "Childhoods End." The screenplay was written primarily by Kubrick and the novel primarily by Clarke, each working simultaneously and also providing feedback to the other. As the story went through many revisions, changes in the novel were taken over into the screenplay and vice versa. The official records say that the screenplay was written in 58 days (13 October 1965-9 December 1965). Shooting began with the "Monolith on the Moon" scene on 29 December 1965. It was undecided whether film or novel would be released first; in the end it was the film. Kubrick was to have been credited as second author of the novel, but in the end was not. It is believed that Kubrick deliberately withheld his approval of the novel as to not hurt the release of the film.

c.
William Castle
: [gimmick] Used a gimmick called "Emergo" in theaters. When the skeleton rises from the acid vat in the film, a lighted plastic skeleton on a wire appeared from a black box next to the screen to swoop over the heads of the audience. The skeleton would then be pulled back into the box as the skeleton in the film is "reeled in". Many theaters soon stopped using this "effect" because when the local boys heard about it, they would bring slingshots to the theater; when the skeleton started its journey, they would pull out their slingshots and fire at it with stones, BBs, ball bearings and whatever else they could find.
