Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Limelight (1952)?

In the final scene at the church, Nick has Andy stand back and hide. On the wall behind Andy is a brick inscribed "H. Hawks." This is undoubtedly a reference to

s favorite director
Howard Hawks
.
b.
Charles Chaplin
and
Buster Keaton
had an interesting relationship. Long considered rivals but always having avoided commenting about each other in the press, Chaplin hired Keaton for a part in
Limelight
. Keaton, who was flat broke at the time, went into a career decline after having been signed by MGM in 1928, as the studio would not let him improvise in any of his films nor allow him any writing or directorial input, and he was eventually reduced to writing gags - often uncredited - for other comedians films. Chaplin, at this point, felt sorry for Keaton due to his hard luck, but Keaton recognized that, despite Charlies better fortune and far greater wealth, Chaplin was (strangely) the more depressed of the two. In one scene in Limelight, Chaplins character was dying. While the camera was fading away, Keaton was muttering to Chaplin without moving his lips, "Thats it, good, wait, dont move, wait, good, were through." In his autobiography Keaton called Chaplin "the greatest silent comedian of all time."

Writer-director
Sarah Polley
had intended her feature film debut to be based on a script she wrote about a 12-year-old actress starring on a television series.

The story deals with a couple in their Sixties coping with the wifes Alzheimers disease.
d.
The rescue of K-19 was performed by the S-270 submarine under the command of Capt. 3rd rank Zhan Sebrilov.
8.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Limelight (1952)?
a.
The rumor has been widely circulated that
Buster Keaton
was much funnier than
Charles Chaplin
in their scene together, so Chaplin cut Keatons best scenes. In her book "Buster Keaton Remembered", Keatons widow
Eleanor Keaton
refutes this story; according to her, the rumor was started by
Raymond Rohauer
, Keatons business partner. The point of the scene was to show Chaplin as Calvero having one final triumph before he has a heart attack and dies. It would not have made sense for Keaton, who was not even a major character in the movie, to outshine Chaplin.
b.
Originally filmed in late 2003, this was subsequently shelved for many years and never released theatrically (allegedly after poor test screening). Finally released directly to DVD in June 2008.

William Goldman
, his screenplay originally was entitled "The Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy." Both
Steve McQueen
and

read the script at approximately the same time, and agreed to do it, with McQueen playing the Sundance Kid. When McQueen dropped out, the names reversed in the title, as Newman was a superstar.
d.
A total of 64 sets were constructed for the movie.
