Margaret Sullavan
was then brought in as Anna and shooting resumed, but while clowning around with
Ray Milland
on the set between takes (she was squirting him with a concealed water pistol), she fell and fractured her arm. She refused to do the rest of the film in a sling as the studio heads demanded, and also quit. At this point Dietrich offered to come back, but Paramount refused and instead brought in Italian sex symbol
Isa Miranda
. However, Miranda knew no English and had to have all her dialogue supplied phonetically.
d.
Walt Disney
was initially hoping to cast
Barry Fitzgerald
in the dual roles of Darby OGill and King Brian. Fitzgerald reportedly declined due to his advanced age (although his eventual replacement as Darby,

10.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: First Blood (1982)?
a.
Robert Pattinson
unknowingly contributed two songs to this film. Apparently, he didnt know that "a mysterious third party" had given the director a copy of music he had recorded years ago. She decided to use two of the songs, and he was surprised to hear them when viewing early film footage. The songs are: "Never Think" playing during the restaurant scene and "Let Me Sign" (plays during the scene where Edward has to drink Bellas blood to save her). Pattinson said he was overwhelmed by how well "Let Me Sign" fit into the film.
b.
(At 1:03.41) When Rambo is believed to have been killed in mine attack by the National Guardsmen, Teasle returns to his office. Behind him, you can clearly see a display case that displays three medals. The three medals, from right to left, are: the Silver Star, The Purple Heart, and the Army Distinguished Service Cross Medals. These indicate Teasle was a highly decorated Korean War hero as both the Silver Star and ADSC are awarded for extreme valor and bravery in enemy combat. The subtext of the book was a battle of different war tactics, for this reason; this is underplayed in the film.
c.
For the epilogue scene, all actors are required to accompany the original Schindlerjuden they portrayed in the movie in pairs (actor and the Jew they portrayed carrying and placing a pebble on the grave). This actually explains why
