1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: History Is Made at Night (1937)?
a.		Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor were criticized in the mass media in 1963 for what was perceived as their part in causing the budgets of their epic films ("Mutiny on the Bounty" and Cleopatra) to balloon out of control. Aside from their paychecks ($1.25 million for Brando, with overages; a minimum of $1 million to Taylor, both record salaries for the time), the press claimed it was prima donna behavior on the part of the two stars that caused the resulting fiscal hardships at their respective studios, M.G.M. and 20th-Century Fox. The truth is, although both films were costly, and neither made a profit, "Cleopatra" cost more than twice what "Bounty" did (Taylors film cost $44 million approximately $270 million in 2006 dollars, making it the most expensive film ever made, when adjusted for inflation), and earned the studio only $26 million in rentals, generating a shortfall against budget of $18 million versus less than $10 million for the Brando picture. While M.G.M. was hurt financially, "Cleopatra" caused Fox to fail. In his defense, Brando later pointed out that M.G.M. charged the $500,000 paid in the mid-1930s to the books two authors to the budget of the remake, an example of creative accounting that makes Hollywood profit-and-loss statements highly suspect. Whatever the truth, the fact is that Brandos star went into decline after "Bounty" whereas Taylor went on to win a second Oscar and remained among the highest paid movie stars in the world throughout the decade of the 1960s.
b.		Elisabeth Shue was cast as Jennifer, and all the closing shots of Back to the Future were re-shot for the beginning of this film. Claudia Wells (Jennifer in "Back to the Future") was unable to reprise her role as she had stopped acting because her mother had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to acting for the independent film Still Waters Burn.
c.		Called "Deadly Pursuit" in the UK. Because of the recent massacre in Hungerford, where Micheal Ryan had gone on a shooting rampage killing around dozen people and injuring a number of others, it was thought to be in bad taste to release a film with "shoot" in the title.
d.		"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on November 10, 1940 with Charles Boyer reprising his film role.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: History Is Made at Night (1937)?
a.		French director Jean-Pierre Melville credited this film with being a formative influence on his work and made references to it in his films.
b.		Jean Arthur, the first choice by studio head Harry Cohn, turned down the role of Hildy Johnson because she and Howard Hawks had been cool to each other during the filming of Only Angels Have Wings the year before.
c.		The Hindenburg is mentioned as (successfully) completing a transatlantic trip, with the husband on board. This movie was released (USA) March 5, 1937. The Hindenburg disaster occurred on May 6, 1937. It never made that return flight to Europe.
d.		In Hong Kong, the movie was given a title that translated to The Big Liar.
