This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957).

About the movie: Director Billy Wilder salutes his idol, Ernst Lubitsch, with this comedy about a middle-aged playboy...

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Inspired by the true story of a traditional English mens footwear factory in Northamptonshire which turned to production of kinky boots for transvestites in order to save the ailing family business and safeguard the jobs of the local community.
b.		John Dillinger was shot to death by FBI agents on the night of July 22, 1934 while exiting Chicagos Biograph Theater, where he had attended a screening of Manhattan Melodrama. While the Biograph Theater was still operating at the time of the production of Public Enemies, the interior had been converted into a number of smaller venues, and no longer resembled the Depression-era movie palace it had been at the time of Dillingers death. Production scouts for Public Enemies found that the Paramount Theatre in nearby Aurora, Illinois resembled the Biograph Theater of 1934 enough to double as that venue. For that reason, the interiors for two scenes were filmed there: The scene in which John Dillinger and his cohorts attend a movie and are alarmed to see themselves and their photographs featured during a newsreel, and the scene taking place immediately prior to Dillingers death. The exterior of the Biograph Theater during the latter scene, however, depicts that actual historic venue, dressed to appear as it did in 1934.
c.		Hayworth practiced hard to try and do her own singing, but finally Morris Stoloff hired Jo Ann Greer to dub Ritas voice. Greer and Hayworth worked well together and she later dubbed Rita in "Miss Sadie Thompson" and "Pal Joey".
d.		Debut of John McGiver.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Though many people view Joan Crawford as the "bad girl" of the movie, Clare Boothe Luce, who wrote (as Clare Boothe) the play that the film was based on, sympathized most with Crystal Allen, Crawfords character.
b.		Many of the sets, including the exterior of the broadcast building, many of the interior walls, and a biplane buzzing a signal tower, were computer generated.
c.		The original ending of the film just showed the two lovers departing together on a train, which threatened to land the film on the Catholic Legion of Decencys "Condemned List." As a result, Maurice Chevalier was called back to do the voice-over heard at the close of the film, in which he reports that the couple are "now married and serving a life sentence in New York City."
d.		During the last year of the production, sound engineer Steve Bartkowicz consulted the Frederick Military Academy Alumni Webmaster, Richard W. Abrams (uncredited), to determine which French bugle call would have been played during the opening massacre sequence. For historical accuracy, Abrams was also called upon to determine if the bugle call would have remained the same today as in the year of the massacre. The bugle call was found on a French military web site and forwarded to Bartkowicz.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Second theatrical feature directed by Tom Holland. Fright Night two years earlier had been his first.
b.		Originally, Kathy was to sing "You Are My Lucky Star" to a billboard of Don Lockwood after he sang to her in the studio, by way of dramatizing that she was the president of the Don Lockwood Fan Club.

Closing the movie is the "billboard duet" of this song by Miss Reynolds and Gene Kelly with a chorus.

b.		Meryl Streep and Jessica Lange considered the role of Julia.
c.		Audrey Hepburns character (Ariane) and Maurice Chevaliers character (Claude) are named after the films scriptwriter, Claude Anet.
d.		"Professional Sweetheart" was Ginger Rogers first film for RKO and - ironically, since so much of the plot revolves around getting Rogers character to sign a radio contract - she had not yet signed a long-term contract with RKO when she made this film.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		The working title for Song of the South was "Uncle Remus".

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Cary Grant never said "Judy, Judy, Judy" in the movies, which he credits to Larry Storch, but he did say "Susan, Susan, Susan" in Bringing Up Baby.
b.		Audrey Hepburn filmed this back-to-back with Funny Face.
c.		Performed so poorly in US theaters, that it was released straight-to-video in Europe.
d.		When the projected $50 million budget escalated to $67 million shortly after shooting began, executive producer Arnon Milchan ordered director David Fincher to cut the budget by at least $5 million. Fincher refused, saying it would damage the integrity of the film, prompting Milchan to quit the movie. However, because Milchans company, Regency Enterprises, was providing $25 million of the budget, without him, the project could not go ahead. 20th Century Fox studio head Bill Mechanic begged Milchan to return, and began to send him dailies so as to illustrate to him the merits of the film. After three weeks of seeing raw footage from the set, Milchan returned to the film, and approved the budget increase to $67 million, upping Regency Enterprises investment to $34 million.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Cary Grant was offered the part of Frank Flannigan but turned it down because of the age difference between him and Audrey Hepburn.
b.		This film has been cited as one of the factors that brought an end to the Italian-made "sword and sandal"/"mythological muscleman" epics that had been popular since the late 1950s. Specialized suppliers raised their prices for goods and services supplied to this production. The higher prices were beyond the budget of Italian producers so production values for their films dropped and audiences declined.
c.		The name of John Cusacks character is a combined reference to Edward Gordon Craig and Bruce Schwartz. Schwartz is an accomplished American puppeteer while Craig was a turn-of-the-century theater artist who suggested that actors should be viewed as no more important than marionettes.
d.		Featured in David Sedaris story "Repeat After Me" in his 2004 book "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim."

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?
a.		Principal photography was targeted to last a total of 150 days, excluding the time it would take to create the visual effects for the metamorphosis of Brad Pitts character to the infant stage.
b.		When Samantha orders a pizza, the pizza guy asks if she wants a pizza with extra anchovies. This is a very subtle nod to the Patrick Dempsey comedy, Loverboy. The extra anchovies reference in that film meant that the delivery boy would be delivering a lot more than pizzas.
c.		Gary Cooper was very pleased with his performance and was very disappointed that the majority of critics thought him miscast due to his age. Indeed, the films box office failure was largely attributed to him being considered too old to play Audrey Hepburns lover. In April 1958 he had a full facelift, but the procedure was largely unsuccessful.
d.		After reading the screenplay, director Pitof and Jean Rabasse presented to the producers an alternative version of the story that was refused using the argument that it was too artistic.

The sequence: English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Italian, Hebrew, Greek, Swedish, Russian, Japanese, English, Greek, Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Spanish, Farsi, Swahili, Sanskrit, French, Hebrew, Swedish, Chinese, German, Japanese, English.
d.		The recurring line "Pepsi Cola hits the spot" refers to the then-current jingle for the soft drink.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Love in the Afternoon (1957)?

These include: pulling on a hand-brake in the Aston Martin DB5, flipping open the glove compartment to reveal a bottle of chilled Bollinger champagne, using the laser in the opening bungee jump and cutting through the floor of the train with the laser in 007s wristwatch.
b.		To dispel any impression that Audrey Hepburn and Gary Cooper actually have sex in their many afternoon meetings in his hotel room, a line was dubbed into the release print. When his back is turned to the camera in Chevaliers office, Cooper is heard to say, "I cant get to first base with her."
