b.		In 1957, United Artists released this as a double feature with Chicago Confidential.
c.		The scene of Adam listening to "Over the Rainbow" on his portable headphones was John Woos idea and not part of the original script.

(A similar scene can be seen in Woos Lat sau san taam)

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Great Guns (1941)?

This was Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardys first movie for a major studio--their previous films had been released by MGM but not made by the studio--and they were confounded by the ways of the Hollywood studio system. All of their previous films had been shot in sequence and had been directed, edited and supervised by an uncredited Stan Laurel; Fox did not allow him such creative activity. In later years Laurel continually and bitterly recalled the "shabby" treatment he and Hardy received from Fox and MGM.
b.		"Du Barry Was a Lady" was adapted from a Broadway show that opened at the 46th Street Theatre on December 6, 1939 and ran for 408 performances. The opening night cast included Bert Lahr as Louis Blore, Ethel Merman as May Daly and Benny Baker, Betty Grable, Janice Carter, Adele Jergens, Tito Renaldo, Kay Sutton and Charles Walters. Much of the bathroom humor (Lahr played a bathroom attendant) was not acceptable to the censors and was omitted from the movie. Later, Gypsy Rose Lee was a replacement cast member for Ethel Merman.
