d.		According to "Cecil B. DeMilles Hollywood" by Robert S. Birchard, the 96-minute version of the film was only screened once, at a test screening in Huntington Park, California, on December 15, 1933. The test audience, apparently mostly composed of kids (who were there waiting to see the war aviation movie Ace of Aces), felt that the movie was too long by ten minutes, and that further character-set up was necessary. To accommodate this DeMille added in the opening blurb that the movie was filmed on real locations and he included brief bios for each of the four frightened people. DeMille then screened the movie and deemed the test audience was correct, and cut a "thousand feet" from the film, resulting in the 17 minutes cut from the test version. So then, the 96-minute "longer" cut was never actually shown to a mass audience; the only certain thing about it was that it included sequences with Ethel Griffies, who played the mother of Arnold Ainger (Herbert Marshall).

It is characterized by open palm fighting, with circular footwork. Both styles are two of the three main "internal" styles of Chinese kung fu - the third being Taiji Quan (Tai Chi).
b.		Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton were all born within 45 days of each other, and celebrated their 50th birthdays together while filming this movie.
c.		This film is believed lost. Please check your attic.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Four Frightened People (1934)?
a.		Barry Miles, in his 1999 biography "King of the Beats", claims that "Subterraneans" author Jack Kerouac suffered from an Oedipal complex in which he replaced his father Leo as his mothers faux-"husband". Kerouac always returned to his mother Gabrielle (called "Memère") after his adventures, and wound up living with her permanently after the success of "On The Road" gave him enough money to buy a house. Kerouacs friends, such as William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg were aghast that Jack was bound so tightly by his mothers apron strings, thinking it kept him emotionally retarded. He failed to have a deep, lasting relationship with any of his wives or any other woman (his last wife, Stella, was described by most as being a kind of household slave abused by both Jack and "Memère"). Kerouac defended himself, saying he made a solemn oath to his father Leo on his deathbed to take care of his mother, though it was unlikely he meant that Jack should forgo having a stable marriage of his own and live with "Memère" for the rest of his life. On her part, Memère kept Kerouac infantalized, with his own blessing: She opened his mail and forbade certain of his friends from visiting her home (and Jacks home), such as Ginsburg, who had known him all their adult lives. After reading Jacks mail, Memère would send poisonous letters to Ginsburg and others, including Jacks girlfriends, which Jack defended. Burroughs became so disgusted he terminated his friendship with Kerouac. On his part, Miles points out that Kerouac was well aware of his Oedipal problem. Kerouac named the character modeled after himself in The Subterraneans "Leo Percepeid." Leo is his fathers name, and Percepied translates literally to wounded (or "pierced") foot. Oedipus, as a baby, was ritually wounded on the foot and left to die before being saved, then growing up and slaying his father and bedding his mother.
b.		The entire shootout scene at the creek was filmed in two days due to restrictions. There were over 120 shots during this sequence.
c.		Claudette Colbert was still filming Torch Singer when pre-production began on this film, and the shooting schedule was tailored accordingly so as not to interfere.
d.		This is a Howard Hughes production as the opening credits declare. It is well known that Hughes himself was an aviation aficionado who also produced Hells Angels, Sky Devils and Jet Pilot (1957), the latter of which also starred John Wayne.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Four Frightened People (1934)?
a.		Shortly before the opening assassination attempt on the US president, a number of portraits of past assassinated presidents are featured in the background: Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and William McKinley.
b.		Ken Berry, who plays a heckler and was the films baseball coach, was an outfielder for the Chicago White Sox. He was called "The Bandit" because of his ability to take hits away from batters.
c.		While most reference books give Marie Windsors character name as "Princess Mari", her characters name in the movie is actually "Princess Sita".
d.		One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by MCA ever since.
