8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Lawson: White Heat (2009)?
a.		This film, released on March 9, 1933, single-handedly rescued the movie musical, which had been considered a money losing proposition since mid-1930. Early "all talking, all dancing" musicals typically suffered from severe camera restrictions coupled with poor musical staging, soured the public on the genre in general (Universals huge losses from the lively King of Jazz had put an unofficial moratorium on the musical) and no other studio wanted to risk producing one. Warners, at the time of the films release, had Gold Diggers of 1933 nearing completion and pre-production plans were well underway for Footlight Parade, all utilizing the talents of Busby Berkeley. The success of this film would convince Radio Pictures to produce Flying Down to Rio (released that December). Other major studios would continue to shy away from musicals throughout 1933, although Paramount would proceed with plans to produce the lavish Murder at the Vanities toward the end of the year.
b.		The movie was shot over three years, when schedules and time allowed.
c.		One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.

d.		This has been the most repeatedly screened mini-series ever shown on syndicated television in the United States. By 1992 it had been seen by over 350 million viewers.
