2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Rhinoceros (1974)?
a.		John Corigliano wrote a complete score to the original cut, with the National Philharmonic Orchestra in London, conducted by Leonard Slatkin. Coriglianos score was rejected when re-shoots made the movie more action-driven. Because Corigliano was not interested in scoring the new version, stating it was now the kind of film he would never have signed up for, a new score was commissioned from Howard Shore.
b.		Before production started, approval was refused by the MPPDA (now the MPAA) under the Production Code (Hays Code), labeling the scenario, still called "A Comedy Of Murders", in their words "unacceptable". They continued, "In his indictment of the system and the social structure, the filmmaker offered a rationale of Verdouxs crimes, in terms of their moral work." Worst of all the board also considered Verdouxs attitude toward god "blasphemous". In a letter of response, scene by scene, Charles Chaplin upheld his screenplay again the charge of subversion, but only giving in on details. For example, when one of Verdouxs wives invites him to "come to bed" the line had to be replaced with "get to bed". Chaplin had no trouble getting around such proscriptions, as he did with Verdouxs morning-after "humming" with briskly engaging music. The production board complied and gave this film a seal of approval.
c.		Vs pseudonym, "Rookwood", is the last name of another conspirator at the 1605 Gunpowder Plot, as are the names of Rookwoods friends "Percy" and "Keyes".
