Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Merry-Go-Round (1923)?
a.
Stephen Chow
wanted
Kitty Zhang Yuqi
to play Chi-Chi.
b.
During the year-long production of
Erich von Stroheim
s
Foolish Wives
, producer
Irving Thalberg
had been unable to fire the megalomaniac director because he was the star of the movie as well. Thanks to von Stroheims excesses in sets and costumes and his refusal to stop filming new scenes, the cost of the film ballooned to over $1 million (an astronomical sum for the day) before Thalberg was able to shut down production on it. For this film, von Stroheim promised to bring it in on time and under budget. Thalberg didnt believe him, and insisted that silent star
Norman Kerry
, not von Stroheim, should be the star of the movie. After six weeks of shooting, it was clear to Thalberg that von Stroheims excesses and haphazard shooting schedule were going to take the movie over budget again. Thalberg fired von Stroheim, and replaced him with director
Rupert Julian
.
c.
The meaning and relevance of a "Sting" is that it can be defined as a confidence trick, a scam, confidence game or a con. The use of the word sting to mean this is a metaphor based on the hurt or pain of a bee sting doubling for that of being a victim of a swindle.

One of the lawyers then asks, "Who was the movie star?" and the response is, "Does it matter?" This movie star was, in fact,

Aaron Sorkin
by providing him insider information about goings-on at Harvard at the time Facebook first appeared there.

Norman Rockwell
s Freedom from Want Thanksgiving Day painting with Cobra as the grandfather and Stitch as the grandmother.

s excesses on the film included bringing in a real Viennese streetcar to be used in street scenes (a Los Angeles streetcar simply wouldnt do, said the director).

and ship it to Hollywood.

A Super Jewel Production. Universal, lacking a proprietary theater chain, used a 3-tiered branding system to market its feature product to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low-budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream releases) and Jewel (prestige productions).
