2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		Huston also provided an uncredited bit part to socialite Marietta Tree, who had been a long-time lover. Tree, born Mary Endicott Peabody, who hailed from one of New Englands oldest families, was also the lover of two-time Democratic presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. Soon after this films release, she worked in the Kennedy Administration, representing the U.S. on the United Nations Commission on Human Rights.
b.		Billy Wilder was the original choice to direct. He discussed it with Columbia studio head Harry Cohn over lunch one day. Not only did Cohn turn down him as director, but he later sent Wilder a bill for their lunch.

d.		This film was a comeback movie for Mae West.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		After Columbia producer Harry Cohn saw the success of Gene Kelly and Rita Hayworth in Cover Girl, he promised this film to them. (Kelly had his big break by creating the role of Joey Evans on Broadway.) Sadly, the story took another 15 years to reach the screen and by that time, Kelly was under contract to MGM. Hayworth was cast as the older woman, with Kim Novak now playing the younger woman.
b.		The Senate had to be recreated because the film crew was denied the right to film in the real Senate chambers. As filming progressed, Laughlin found it increasingly difficult to film in Washington, D.C. They were wrongly accused of desecrating grave-sites in Arlington Cemetery.
c.		The word "fuck" is said 130 times.
d.		Co-writer James Cameron claims that he only wrote the first draft of the script and that Sylvester Stallone made many changes to it.

Cameron commented that he only wrote the "action" and that Stallone wrote the "politics".

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		The idea of a Scooby-Doo movie languished in "development hell" throughout most of the 1990s. In 1996, Jim Carrey was attached to play Shaggy and Sara Gilbert was attached to play Velma. At one point, director Kevin Smith was attached, but later dropped out. Later, Mike Myers accepted the project and was the one who most often had his name linked to it (Myers friend Janeane Garofalo was supposedly tapped by Myers to play Velma). Eventually, even Myers had to leave the project.
b.		Second only to Dumbo (who didnt speak at all), this Disney title character has very few lines of actual dialogue throughout the entire film, which is actually about the three fairies who protect her, not about the Sleeping Beauty herself. Rose/Aurora is only featured in the film in very few scenes and hardly says anything. Her first line is spoken 19 minutes into the film, and her last is delivered after she learns of her betrothal 39 minutes into the film. However, she does sing two songs during this time frame.
c.		The original Broadway stage production of "Pal Joey" opened at Ethel Barrymore Theater in New York City on December 25, 1940 and ran for 374 performances.
d.		After Hollywood or Bust, this was to have been the next film for Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Martin did not want to be seen on screen in a police uniform and refused to do the film. Their partnership soon ended, so this film was Lewis first solo effort. The part originally meant for Martin was given to Darren McGavin.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		Columbia Studios head Harry Cohn suggested Marlene Dietrich for the role of Vera Simpson. Dietrich turned down the part but suggested her friend Frank Sinatra for the role of Joey after Gene Kelly was denied the part. Cohn suggested Jack Lemmon before Sinatra was eventually cast.
b.		The sound made by the bug sweepers used in the film is the same as the sound made by the sonar equipment in Crimson Tide, also directed by Tony Scott. Gene Hackman, Jason Robards, and Lillo Brancato were in both films.
c.		Total Film magazine says this film contains "the worst line ever delivered in a mainstream Hollywood film." The line of dialogue is: "Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of The Matrix."
d.		The role of divorce attorney, Thomas Chaney, Sr. was slated to be portrayed by actor Marco Perella, who was unable to work on the project due to production conflicts. Actor David Stokey took over the role 2 weeks before filming began in June of 2004.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		According to the DVD commentary on the theatrical release version of Daredevil, Dwayne Johnsons (aka "The Rock") cousin is in the bar fight scene. He is the one who says to Quesada, "Hey, boss. Who the hell is that?"
b.		The case where Valiant keeps his cartoon gun is inscribed "Thanks for getting me out of the Hoosegow - Yosemite Sam".
c.		Rita Hayworths own singing voice is heard in the introductions to her songs otherwise dubbed by Jo Ann Greer.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pal Joey (1957)?
a.		Rita Hayworth plays the rich older woman keeping Frank Sinatra as her boy toy. In real life, Hayworth was only in her late thirties when she made this film and was three years younger than Sinatra.
b.		Preminger was signed in a seven-picture deal with Paramount (perhaps the most lucrative director/studio contract up until that time). The deal fizzled directly after this movies release. This was the fourth picture in that deal.
c.		This picture, which began its run nationally on July 8, 1948, was the second-biggest moneymaking film of the year, directly after the Crosby-Hope-Lamour Road to Rio, which was launched nationally on Christmas Day of 1947. The critical and financial success of the Garland-Astaire pairing chiefly "made up" for the mixed reviews and poor box office (except in a few large cities) of Judy Garlands prior musical, The Pirate, which had opened nationally on June 11, only a month before her frolic with Mr. Astaire was seen by moviegoers.
d.		Three of Warner Bros.s contract players (Paul Panzer, Leo White and Jack Wise) announce their real names when they board airplanes as passengers.
