4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Holy Rollers (2010)?

Pictures purchased a majority interest in First National Pictures and from that point on, all "First National" productions were actually made under Warner Bros. control, even though the two companies continued to retain separate identities until the mid-1930s, after which time "A Warner Bros.-First National Picture" was often used.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Holy Rollers (2010)?
a.		Lee Harry: Appears as the patron that the theater loudmouth talks to (hes the mustachioed man to the left of him). He also provides the voice of the commentator of the Christmas parade that Mother Superior watches.
b.		The success of the film had encouraged MGM to create further movies involving the Smith family and was to be based on further tales of Sally Bensons family. MGM wanted to make sort of a deluxe color group of serials in the spirit of the popular "Andy Hardy" series. A proposed sequel titled "Meet Me in Manhattan" was in the works in which the Smith family actually moved to New York. (This happened in real life to Sally Bensons family.) However, the project never got out of planning stages and the film was never made.

d.		Judaism is not a proselytizing religion, meaning that unlike some other religions, its members do not actively recruit new converts. However, very orthodox and Hasidic Jews have no similar compunction against encouraging people who are already Jewish but less orthodox to become more orthodox. That explains the interaction that Sam has late in the movie with a Hasidic man on the street - once the other man verifies that Sam is Jewish, he helps him "wrap tefillin" and pray because he assumes that Sam is a secular Jew.

d.		The title is an American colloquial expression that refers informally (and sometimes derogatorily) to Protestant sects whose worship meetings often include sessions of frenzied excitement (despite the Christian connotation of the term, this movie is about Jews). In addition to that connection, the title also is a reference to the other subject matter of the film, the illegal trafficking of the drug MDMA or "Ecstasy" ("rolling" is a slang term used to describe being high on Ecstasy).

The long black pieces of leather with small boxes attached to them that Sam puts on his arms and head several times during the movie are called "tefillin" (or less commonly, "phylacteries," which is their secular, Greek-derived name).

The four Torah passages inside the little boxes all contain some variation of specific instructions to put those passages "on your hand" (which is why one box goes onto the arm) and "between your eyes" (which is why one box goes on the forehead). "Laying" or "wrapping" tefillin is considered to be a very important "Mitzvah" (commandment) in Judaism.
