10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: It Conquered the World (1956)?
a.		James Stewart only agreed to play a cameo role in the film because John Wayne had specifically requested him. His short time on the film proved to be trying. The bad acoustics of the huge, hollow sound stages worsened his hearing difficulties, and he stayed by himself most of the time. He and Wayne muffed their lines so often in the main scene between them that director Don Siegel accused them of not trying hard enough. Waynes reply was a variation on an old John Ford line, advising the director, "If youd like the scene done better, youd better get a couple of better actors." Later on, the star told friends that Stewart had known his lines, but hadnt been able to hear his cues, and that in turn had caused his own fumbling. Because Stewarts movie career had ended several years before, he was only paid $50,000 for his part.

d.		The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow logos at the front of the film are styled in homage to the 1970s/1980s intro animation to New York station WOR-TVs "4 OClock Movie," and the accompanying music is identical.
