2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Raid on Rommel (1971)?
a.		DaFino refers to himself as a "brother Seamus", which was a common slang term for a private investigator during the interwar years, incidentally when The Big Sleep, the Raymond Chandler story the Coen Brothers were inspired by to make this film, was written. The Dude, of course, has no idea what it means.
b.		This independent production was originally picked up by Paramount for use on the bottom half of a double bill with its in-house production of I Married a Monster from Outer Space. Early marketing tests and initial bookings indicated that a larger share of the ticket buyers were coming for this film rather than the former, so it became the main feature and more money was spent on its promotion.
c.		Screened at Microcinefest 2003 in Baltimore, MD.
d.		The word Rommel of this movies title refers to Field Marshal Erwin Rommel (1891-1944). Rommel, whose full name was Erwin Johannes Eugen Rommel, was a high-ranking German Nazi officer during World War II. Rommel was famous for commanding the Axis alliance forces of Italy and Germany in the North African theatre of the Second World War. His triumphs in this region make him to be one of the most successful military leaders in desert warfare and thus contributed to his legendary name, Wüstenfuchs or the Desert Fox, a nick-name he is more frequently known by. This Desert Fox name was used as its own movie title twenty years earlier with The Desert Fox: The Story of Rommel.

The next day the producers confirmed the movies title was simply "Saw 3D" and "The traps come alive" was only a tagline.
d.		Joan Leslie was 16 when she made this film, the same age as the real Gracie. Alvin C. York had made it clear that he didnt want any actress with any sort of notoriety connected with her portraying his wife.
