1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Kinsey (2004)?
a.
On the DVD commentary, director
Bill Condon
reveals that he wanted to include in a montage a clip from
I Love Lucy
in which a character makes a joking reference to Dr.
Alfred Kinsey
s research. Condon says that he was unable to use the clip because
Lucie Arnaz
(the daughter of
Lucille Ball
and
Desi Arnaz
) denied him the rights, offering very little explanation aside from claiming that her parents would never allow themselves to be associated with Kinsey.
b.
The 29 June 1943 Hollywood Reporter stated that
Hermes Pan
would be directing dance routines involving the Roller Skating Vanities of which
Gloria Nordskog
would star. However, Nord has no listed credit on this picture but apparently was an uncredited roller skating headliner. As such, she appeared as one of the skaters but did not "star" in the picture so to speak.
c.
"Bei Mir Bist du Schon" (music by
Sholom Secunda
, English lyrics by
Sammy Cahn
and
Saul Chaplin
, sung by
Judy Garland
, was prerecorded but not filmed. Judy had performed the novelty number in her on-stage appearance at Loews State Theatre in Manhattan during March 1938. The prerecording is heard on the Rhino CD, "
Judy Garland
: Collectors Gems from the M-G-M Films."
d.

Carrie Fisher
,
Eleanor Bergstein
,
Nancy Meyers
,
Jim Cash
,
Jack Epps Jr.
and

. As Rudnick did not consider the final draft of the movie as his own work, the pseudonym Joseph Howard was chosen by him after his own suggestion for the writers credit (Screenplay by Goofy) had been rejected.
c.
Irving Berlin
loved
Ethel Merman
, having first worked with her in a previous cavalcade of his songs,
Alexanders Ragtime Band
. After that film, Berlin told her that he was so impressed with her talent that he promised to work with her again. He kept that promise and wrote two Broadway shows especially for her: "Annie Get Your Gun" in 1946 and "Call Me Madam" in 1950, the latter of which also starred Merman in the film adaptation:
Call Me Madam
. The song "Theres No Business Like Show Business" is from "Annie Get Your Gun".

d.

5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Kinsey (2004)?
a.
The
Malcolm McDowell
character, Alberto Antonelli, is heavily based on
The Robert Joffrey Ballet
s longtime artistic director, Gerald ("Jerry") Arpino. Like Arpino, Antonelli is an Italian American former dancer who has gone on to run a prominent Chicago dance company (the chastising speech that Antonelli gives to an Italian-American audience while receiving an award was taken nearly verbatim from an awards speech of Arpinos). Many of Antonellis turns of phrase in the script were taken from Arpinos speech patterns, as was his habit of watching rehearsals while sitting backwards in a white, open-backed chair that was reserved only for him.
b.
The scene in which Albert is shot while shielding Victoria from an assassination attempt is based on a real attempt that took place June 10, 1840. Edward Oxford, an unemployed barkeep, fired two pistols toward the Queens carriage as she and Albert rode on Constitution Hill near Buckingham Palace. The movie, however, contains several significant departures from the facts. In real life, Albert was not injured. The court was never able to prove that Oxford had shot anything but gunpowder from his guns. Oxford was acquitted by reason of insanity, and committed to the Bethlem Royal Hospitals criminal lunatic ward.
c.
Cole Porter
wrote the song "Too Darn Hot" for the Broadway musical "Kiss Me Kate," which premiered in 1948, the same year as the publication of
Alfred Kinsey
s book "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male". The song contains the lyrics "According to the Kinsey report / evry average man you know / much prefers to play his favorite sport / when the temperature is low." The
Ella Fitzgerald
recording of this song is played on the soundtrack. When MGM produced its movie version,
Kiss Me Kate
, the same year as the publication of Kinseys "Sexual Behavior in the Human Female", the films censors changed the lyrics to "According to the weather report...," a sign of how much more controversial Kinseys work was after the second book than the first.
d.
Headlines about the rape scene came out on July 21, 2006, the very day that the movie wrapped filming.
6.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Kinsey (2004)?
a.
The writings on the walls in the steam tunnels ("light your way", etc) are references to the game "Wizardry" and its sequels, in which clues can be found scrawled on the walls of the dungeon. The ending credits contain: "Thank to Sir-Tech, for Wizardry". Alternatively, assuming that Real Genius is meant to represent Caltech, the writing on the walls of the steam tunnels could be representative of the real writing on the walls of the real steam tunnels at Caltech.
b.
Martin Balsam
: briefly at party sequence
c.
Laura Linney
gained 20 pounds for this film, mainly by eating Krispy Kreme glazed donuts.
d.

c.
In the St. Petersburg Florida Evening Independent newspaper on August 10, 1944, the following was noted: "There will be no more shattered eardrums for movie sound men. Movie ammunition has at last gone on the subdued side. After exhausting its pre-war supply of blank cartridges, Columbia Studio laid in a supply of the new wartime restricted type for scenes in which gunplay is needed. First person to fire the new ammunition was Rose Hobart in a scene for The Soul of a Monster, in which she is supposed to empty six chambers of a revolver into George Macready. The smaller explosive charge in the shells proved easier on the actors and crew, who used to get mild shock occasionally from the heavier calibre weapons. But it is the sound men -- the guys with the amplifiers and earphones -- who have offered up the biggest prayer of thanks."
d.
Bill Condon
and
Laura Linney
appeared at a benefit screening of the movie at Indiana University to help raise money for the Kinsey Institute.
