2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Night of the Snakehead Fish (2003)?
a.		John Michael Hayes wrote the screenplay based on a treatment written by Angus MacPhail. But Hayes was infuriated when Alfred Hitchcock submitted both Hayes and MacPhails names to receive credit for the screenplay.

c.		The "flicker" given off by the candles during all the night scenes is not a practical effect, rather a complex, multi-layered image matting process completed in post production
d.		Ethel Barrymore was very old and feeble during the filming and spent most of her time between takes in a wheelchair. She was not crippled but was getting frail and had to conserve her energy for her onscreen performance. Frank Sinatra threw a surprise birthday party for her on the set, a gesture that clearly moved and touched her.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Night of the Snakehead Fish (2003)?

c.		The international corporation set up by Saddam Hussein to launder money from his various enterprises was called Montana Management after the Scarface main character.
d.		All scenes in Kevins car were shot weeks later than the rest of the film at a park near the directors house (instead of a wooded area miles away). Those scenes were shot on the side of a street in the park, rather than the parking lot that was intended. When the actors and director pulled into the parking lot, they found numerous groups of men engaged in sexual activity directly in front of their cars. (None of that action was filmed)

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Night of the Snakehead Fish (2003)?
a.		Charlize Theron was originally cast as Melanie Carmichael, but due to the actors strike, she jumped to a ready-to-go movie Trapped. Reese Witherspoon was cast the same weekend that Legally Blonde opened.

c.		Penelopes quote, "A picture is a secret about a secret. The more it tells, the less you know" is actually a quote by acclaimed American photographer Diane Arbus (1923-1971). The biographical film Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus, featured Nicole Kidman as Arbus, one of the 20th centurys most revered photographers. Incidentally, "arbus" is Russian for "water melon", which might explain why one gets turned into a camera by the Penelope character.

c.		Milos Forman originally wanted E.L. Doctorow to collaborate on the screenplay, but the novelist thought that a feature film could not do justice to his epic novel and believed that it should be done as a ten-part TV miniseries. Doctorow did not participate in the development of the screenplay.
d.		On the shelf in the living room is a picture of the real life Frank Gilbreth in uniform as an Army Major during WWI. This is visible outside the makeshift operating room during the mass tonsillectomies.
