1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: For Me and My Gal (1942)?
a.		This is the first of two movies in which a character says to Judy Garland, "Why didnt you tell me I was in love with you?" The second is Easter Parade, starring Fred Astaire.
b.		Although Stuntman Paul Marini is credited for the role of Santa, he actually was the stunt double for Sal Lizard, who was featured as Santa. When you see the views of Santa from the back, its Marini but from the front, its Lizard.
c.		Ken Kirzinger was cast two weeks before principal photography.
d.		After the success of Rocky, Sylvester Stallone lobbied hard to play Clark Kent/Superman, but he was ultimately turned down. Stallone found out that Marlon Brando, who had casting approval, turned him down for the role, just as he had allegedly vetoed Burt Reynolds casting as Sonny in The Godfather. (Responding to that rumor, Brando told Playboy Magazine interviewer Lawrence Gobel "Francis Francis Ford Coppola would never have cast Burt Reynolds.") Stallone subsequently went on Merv Griffins talk show and denounced Brando, saying he had no respect for the superstar as an actor or as a man. This surprised many as the early Stallone (as had the early Burt Reynolds) had clearly modeled himself after Brando, particularly Brandos characterization of Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront in his own role as Stanley Rosiello in The Lords of Flatbush, a man named "Stanley" (a la Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire who had a coop of pigeons on his tenement roof (like Terry Malloy). This mimicry might have been one of the the reasons Brando reportedly had such antipathy for both actors. Stallone later explained that he felt that it was hypocritical that Brando, whom stated on numerous occasions that he took the role of Jor-El simply as a paycheck and nothing more, vetoed him for the role of Superman. Unlike Brando, Stallone grew up emulating and idolizing Clark Kent/Superman (and continues to) as well as having a great love for the comics mythology. Ironically, in his review for the Stallone film Rocky, Roger Ebert called Stallone "the next Marlon Brando".
