b.		The stylish convertible driven by Marjorie Weaver is a 1940 La Salle, the last of its line; only a few hundred were sold.
c.		The subplot involving Tuptim, although heavily altered by Oscar Hammerstein II in the play to make it more of a definite romance between Tuptim and Lun Tha, was once thought to have a basis in reality, but it has turned out to be completely fictional, part of the embellishments that Anna Leonowens added to her autobiography during her years as governess and schoolteacher to the Kings children.
d.		The English bulldog Uga in the film is actually Uga 5 rather than Uga 4 (former mascot of the University of Georgia). Uga 4, who was the bulldog in the book, died shortly before filming, so his son, Uga 5, took his place. Uga is owned by Sonny Seiler who appears in the film and was the real life attorney for Jim Williams.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)?
a.		When the word "Tortuga" is set on fire on the deck, it is written in the trademark Disney font.
b.		The puppets used neither of the industry standards of replaceable heads (like those used on The Nightmare Before Christmas) or replaceable mouths (like those used by Aardman Studios in Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit) but instead used precision crafted clockwork heads, adjusted by hidden keys. This allowed for unprecedented subtlety, but was apparently even more painstaking than the already notoriously arduous animation. One animator even reported having recurring nightmares of adjusting his own facial expression in this fashion.
c.		A Jewel Production. Universal, lacking its own theater network, devised a 3-tiered branding system to sell its product to independent theater owners: Red Feather (low budget programmers), Bluebird (mainstream releases) and Jewel (prestige pictures designed to command higher roadshow ticket prices). This branding system (with some modifications) was used by the studio through late 1929.
d.		The judge is played by Sonny Seiler, the attorney for Jim Williams during the trials.

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)?
a.		Most of the characters depicted in the movie were based on real Savannahians, but some details were changed for dramatic effect. Joe Odom was indeed a real person, an ex-lawyer who opened a piano bar with the real-life "Mandy," Nancy Hillis, but Odom and Hillis were never romantically involved, and Odom died of AIDS in 1991. Likewise, the character of John Kelso is loosely based on John Berendt, the author of the book, but he also never had a relationship with the real-life "Mandy" - Berendt is gay.
b.		Budget went primarily to buying snacks and Whoppers for the crew during shooting days.
c.		The closing of the film was not scripted when filming began, so the director (Mel Stuart) had to call David Seltzer and ask him to think of something. Seltzer came up with the "happily ever after" bit in five minutes.
d.		Don Ameches brother, Jim Ameche, portrayed Alexander Graham Bell in The Story of Mankind.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)?
a.		During her sex scene with Rider Strong, Eli Roth wanted Cerina Vincent to be completely naked. But Vincent, who had previously played a student who never wore clothes in Not Another Teen Movie, was concerned that over-exposing herself would lead to her being typecast as a nude scene chick, and refused to bare her rear in Cabin Fever. The standoff between the director and actress became so intense that Vincent informed Roth that if he truly wanted a naked ass in the scene, he would have to get another actress to play the role of Marcy. Eventually the two hammered out a compromise - Vincent would show one inch of her ass on film, no more, no less. When the scene was set to be filmed, Roth bought along a ruler and literally measured one inch of Vincents butt crack. Bedsheets were then taped to Vincents ass at the designated level before the sex scene was shot. Ironically, Vincent later volunteered to bare her breasts in a scene that didnt call for them. During the bathroom scene where she discovers the rashes on her back, the script had her wearing a robe, which she lowered when she turned her back to the mirror. But Vincent thought this scenario was too unrealistic and volunteered to do it topless.
b.		For the Christmas party scene at Mercer house, they actually invited a large number of people who had previously been at Jim Williams parties, including several members of his family. These extras praised the movie party because, not only was the atmosphere correct, but Kevin Spacey perfectly played Jim and how he meandered through his parties.
c.		Donald Trump filmed a cameo role on November 25, 2009. It didnt make the final cut.
d.		With the exception of the Beebe family characters, most of the people in the film are played by real-life residents of the town of Chincoteague, Virginia. The premiere of the film was held at the Island Theater (now the Roxy Theater) in Chincoteague. As part of the celebration, the real Misty placed her hoof prints in cement, and author Marguerite Henry signed her name next to the hoof prints, on the sidewalk outside the theater.

10.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997)?
a.		Lon Chaney put egg membrane on his eyeballs to give them a cloudy look.
b.		Because of the meager budget, the closing shots of Captain Wentworths ship were reused from The Bounty.
c.		The Green Lantern uniform is portrayed in computer-generated imagery; this was a creative move by the filmmakers, who wanted the uniform not to be a real cloth outfit but a light construct generated by the Lantern power ring. Notably the comics originally started with Hal Jordan wearing an actual uniform, but later changed it to where his and the other Green Lanterns uniforms were constructs created by their rings. The humanoid actors (Ryan Reynolds, Temuera Morrison and Mark Strong) wore motion-capture suits, over which the uniforms were rendered.
d.		Edward Norton was offered the role of John Kelso and turned it down.
