Originally awarded to Chicago, President Theodore Roosevelt had the Games switched to St. Louis so that they would run at the same time as the Worlds Fair. This turned out to be a huge mistake. The Games merely became a side attraction to the fairs other events and turned out to be a first class disaster. They took nearly six months to complete and were very poorly run.

c.		Cecil B. DeMille did not want to take any chances with the film. His two stars, H.B. Warner and Dorothy Cumming, were required to sign agreements which prohibited them from appearing in film roles that might compromise their "holy" screen images for a five-year period. DeMille also ordered them not to be seen doing any "un-Biblical" activities during the films shooting. These activities included attending ball games, playing cards, frequenting night clubs, swimming, and riding in convertibles.
d.		The film was shot during WWII, amid a notorious anti-German public campaign by the United States government. Screen writer Curt Siodmak, a German Jew himself who had fled his country after hearing anti-Semitic speeches there in 1937, deliberately changed the location of Frankensteins castle from Germany to the fictional "Vasaria." "Vasaria" translates loosely to "water place" in German, obviously correlating the dam, waterfall and hydroelectric turbine that are integral to the film.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)?
a.		Ingrid Bergman was the first choice for the part of Mouche. The Hollywood Reporter in November 1942 reported that mogul producer David O. Selznick approved the borrowing of its star Ingrid Bergman by Paramount Studios for this movie. By the late 1940s, the Selznick International company was making very few movies and became a talent agency by default, deriving needed income by loaning out its contract stars to other studios.
