About the movie: Tomboy Rose Marie Lemaitre, the orphaned ward of Mountie Mike Malone, falls in love with him, and he with her...

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Rose Marie (1954)?
a.		Most roadshow film presentations made at that time had an overture recorded especially for the film, meant to be heard while the lights in the theater were still up and the movie screen curtains were still closed. Then, at the end of the overture, the lights would go down and the film would start with what was known as its Main Title music. The overture to the stage version of "My Fair Lady" was longer than the films opening credits, but Lerner and Loewe apparently still wanted to use it. So, rather than using the typical roadshow format of Overture and Main Title music to get around this, the filmmakers shot the film so that half of the Overture is heard against shots of flowers appearing on the screen; then halfway through the Overture, the lights go down and the opening credits begin.
b.		Originally, Thurl Ravenscroft was to be only the single voice double for the Medicine Man. However, the actor could not synchronize his lip movements to Thurls recording, so the studio called in Thurl at the last minute to actually play the role on-screen.
c.		The 1968 Camaro seen throughout the film was built specifically for the film at a cost of $50,000. On occasion, one can see peeks of whats under its tilt-lift fiberglass hood: a factory built 510 horsepower ZZ502 Ram Jet engine built by Chevrolet. Unfortunately, the car was damaged substantially during the films production as a result of it having a much lower clearance than Mexicos infamous "topes" (or, known in English as, very large "speedbumps").
d.		Djimon Hounsou learned Mende for his role as Cinque.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Rose Marie (1954)?
a.		Joan Crawford (I), who played Ann Blyths mother in Mildred Pierce, played Rose Marie in the original version of this film, Rose-Marie.
b.		The hall Det. Matthews walks down to pick up his son at the police office was actually a dressing room for the crew.
c.		The role of June was originally offered to Al Jolsons real-life wife, Ruby Keeler, but she decided she didnt want to make her film debut opposite her husband. It turned out better for her than for him -- her first film, "42nd Street," was a major hit while "Hallelujah, Im a Bum" was a major flop -- but the strain on Jolson as his wife became more popular than he was helped lead to the breakup of their marriage.
d.		The film includes concert footage of both Big Brother & the Holding Co. (featuring Janis Joplin) and the Grateful Dead. Additionally, the hippies who observe Petulia taken out of Archies apartment on a stretcher are members of the Grateful Dead and their communal entourage.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Rose Marie (1954)?
a.		This film was reportedly the most expensive film ever made in U.S. dollars, with a green-lit budget of $250 million. However, with the ground-up development of revolutionary CGI, the astronomical costs of shooting on location in New York (reportedly at $1 million per day) and extensive re-shoots which over-ran the production schedule an additional 8 months, have led many industry insiders to speculate a final tab of $350 Million or more in production costs alone. If this figure is true, then only Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End comes in second with a final budget of $300 million.
b.		Previously filmed twice, as a silent film starring Joan Crawford, Rose-Marie, and later starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, Rose-Marie.
c.		Final film of Pola Negri. She had been retired for about 20 years when Walt Disney himself convinced her to come out of retirement to make this film.
d.		First movie to be released simultaneously on DVD, HDDVD and Blu-ray Disc.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Rose Marie (1954)?
a.		According to Jay Robinson (Caligula), the break in principal photography between The Robe and Demetrius and the Gladiators was only three weeks. This would account for "The Robe"s opening shot of the gladiatorial arena; a scene lifted from its sequel. The scene featues Victor Mature & Jay Robinson. Also Ernest Borgnine, William Marshall, Richard Egan AND Susan Hayward; these last four were not in The Robe.
b.		Second film in which Samantha Mathis plays the love interest of the hero and John Travolta plays the villain. The first was Broken Arrow.
c.		Adapted from a Broadway play that opened on September 2, 1924 at the Imperial Theatre in New York and ran for 557 performances.
d.		Jackie Gleason said the cafe scene with himself and Burt Reynolds was not in the original story, it was Gleasons idea.
