About the movie: The Mystery-master's spine-clutching classic of the Phantom Mangler of Paris!

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Mystery of Marie Roget (1942)?
a.		The original Poe story is based on the real-life murder of Mary Cecilia Rogers, who was found floating in the Hudson River near Weehawken, NJ. Poe transplanted the events to Paris and placed the case in the hands of amateur detective C. Auguste Dupin. In a weird twist, Poes ultimate conclusion as to the circumstances of the crime were proved correct when the murderers confessed well after "The Mystery of Marie Roget" was published.
b.		From Sydney to Hollywood the actors arrived and were: Amy Jo Johnson, Johnny Yong Bosch, Karan Ashley, Steve Cardenas, David Yost, Jason David Frank, Paul Freeman, Gabrielle Fitzpatrick, Mark Ginther and Bryan Spicer at Graumans Chinese Theater in 22 June, 1995.
c.		Former LAPD bomb squad officer Herb Williams and former FBI agent William O. Heaton acted as advisors for the bomb sequence - and appeared in the movie as agents in a scene with Scully.
d.		According to Frank Sanellos biography "Spielberg," Nick Castle was originally attached to direct the film, and had been developing the screenplay for the film for a long time. Once Steven Spielberg expressed interest in being involved, the producers (and possibly heads of the studio) quickly gave Nick Castle a six-figure settlement, gross points and a "screen story" credit so that he could step down and Spielberg could helm the production.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Mystery of Marie Roget (1942)?
a.		The 1842 Poe story was a follow up to his earlier "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." Writer Michael Jacoby ditched almost everything except the Paris setting and the title. He changed the detectives name to Paul Dupin and moved up the clock 47 years (to 1889) than the time set in the book.
b.		Very early in the movie there is a scene of Union soldiers playing baseball. While there remains considerable dispute about exactly when, where and how the sport was invented, there is no question that the Civil War itself had a significant role in the rapid growth of the sport, as it became a popular pastime for soldiers on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line who spread it around the country. Incidentally, Union general Abner Doubleday once was credited with inventing baseball but that theory has long been discredited.
c.		The throng of uncredited teenagers included future actresses and celebrities Melinda Marx (daughter of Groucho Marx), Kim Darby (starred in True Grit), Linda Henning (Betty Jo Bradley in Petticoat Junction (1963)), Elaine Joyce (actress, game show guest star and wife to Bobby Van and Neil Simon) and Melody Patterson (Wrangler Jane on F Troop (1965)).
d.		"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on November 6, 1950 with Laurence Olivier reprising his film role.
