About the movie:

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pretty Ladies (1925)?
a.		The film was a surprise hit in Japan where its obvious love for crumbling tradition struck a chord with Japanese audiences.
b.		Though producers wanted Donnie Wahlberg to reprise his role, his schedule made him unavailable and his character was not included in the original script. However, after shooting began, his schedule freed up, and the script was re-written to include his character.
c.		Joan Crawfords film debut, although she was credited by her birth name of Lucille LeSueur. Her name was later changed to Joan Crawford as MGM felt that Lucille LeSueur sounded unfit for a movie star.
d.		Writer Cal Howard served as the live-action model for Prince David. He recalled that he had to have padding on his legs because they were so skinny.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Pretty Ladies (1925)?
a.		Silent screen legend, Lillian Gish, was filmed for a scene in "Zelig". She scolded director of photography, Gordon Willis, on his lighting set-up and, while the crew watched aghast, gave Willis step by step instructions on how to re-light the scene. Willis complied. The scene did not make it into the final version of the film.
b.		Although the movie is based in Texas, it was filmed in California.
c.		Producer-Director Robert Rossen offered the role of Willie Stark to John Wayne. Rossen sent a copy of the script to Waynes agent, Charles K. Feldman, who forwarded it to Wayne. After reading the script, Wayne sent it back with an angry letter attached. In it, he told Feldman that before he sent the script to any of his other clients, he should ask them if they wanted to star in a film that "smears the machinery of government for no purpose of humor or enlightenment," that "degrades all relationships," and that is populated by "drunken mothers; conniving fathers; double-crossing sweethearts; bad, bad, rich people; and bad, bad poor people if they want to get ahead." He accused Rossen of wanting to make a movie that threw acid on "the American way of life." If Feldman had such clients, Wayne wrote that the agent should "rush this script... to them." Wayne, however, said to the agent that "You can take this script and shove it up Robert Rossens derri?re..." Wayne later remarked that "To make Huey Long a wonderful, rough pirate was great," he said; "but, according to this picture, everybody was s - t except for this weakling intern doctor who was trying to find a place in the world." Broderick Crawford, who had played a supporting role in Waynes Seven Sinners, eventually received the part of Stark. In a bit of irony, Crawford was Oscar-nominated for the part of Stark and found himself competing against Wayne, who was nominated the same year for Sands of Iwo Jima. Crawford won the Best Actor Oscar, giving Rossen the last laugh.
d.		A print exists (minus the Technicolor sequences).
