Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: King Solomon's Mines (1985)?
a.
At the beginning of the movie, you see a close-up of flowers on a green field, and then the tanks roll over them. This resembles
James Cameron
s style (see also
The Terminator
).
b.
Director
Lewis Milestone
needed to persuade Columbia Pictures president
Harry Cohn
to hire actor
John Gilbert
for this picture. At the time it was generally believed that Gilberts voice recorded higher in pitch than suited his masculine silent screen image, but Milestone believed that Gilberts voice recorded higher in pitch because of the actors anxiety at having to test for MGM as a means of defending his exorbitant salary there. Gilbert agreed to submit to a new voice-test for the role as a means of persuading Cohn that his casting in the picture was a viable investment. With his friend Milestone directing the test for the Columbia picture his voice recorded perfectly and John Gilbert was hired for the role.

Filmed concurrently with its sequel, "Allan Quatermain and the City of Gold".
d.
The "Vesper" that James Bond orders at Casino Royale is taken from the novel. It consists of three parts gin (Gordons was Bonds choice), one part vodka (Bond preferred a grain vodka be used; e.g. Absolut) and half part of Kina Lillet. The ingredients are shaken over ice until cold, served in a cocktail glass with a slice of lemon peel for garnish. Kina Lillet has not been made since 1985 and the modern substitute would be Lillet Blanc, made by the same company, Lillet, based in Podensac, France. This also creates somewhat of an anachronism as the film adaptation of "Casino Royale" is clearly set in the present, where Kina Lillet would no longer be available.
