1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?
a.		Ray Liotta who plays Georges (Johnny Depp) father is only eight years older than Depp.
b.		Over 4000 daffodils were imported from the Netherlands and placed on the outskirts of the mountain town of Soria, where Zhivagos father-in-laws country estate was located.
c.		Oscar Wilde wrote the original play in French in 1891. An English translation was made and was in rehearsal in 1894, but was banned by officials on the basis that it was illegal to depict Biblical characters on the stage. Its first live performance was in Paris, France in 1896 (Wilde was jailed from 1895 to 1897). It was not performed in England until 1931.
d.		While filming scenes in Llantrisant, Wales, Lee Evans fell from a window and landed on a large nail. The sharp spike pierced his body and narrowly missed one of his kidneys.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?
a.		Most signs in the movie are written in Czech, albeit nonsensically and mostly without the proper diacritics. The banner at the secret resistance meeting says "to unite correct"; the warning signs in the factory read "Danger: Steam"; and the scribbles on the newspaper mean "From our readers letters". The labor decree that Pochenko draws up is only seen for a split second in one shot, but part of it says "further site updates are hereby postponed".
b.		In the original script, the Pred-Alien was to have died when the Predator ship crashed which occurred on page 3 or 4 of the script. It was re-written to incorporate the creature into the movie and make it the main villain as the studio was very impressed by the concept.
c.		Filmed in 1989 for a theatrical release, but debuted on cable television.
d.		The women courtiers are played by men in drag.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?
a.		When casting for the role of Donnies sister, it came to Richard Kellys attention that Maggie Gyllenhaal (who had few film credits at the time) would be available for the shoot. The agent who proposed her casting reminded Kelly of her scene in Cecil B. DeMented, where she drank urine. Though Kelly was slightly hesitant towards the idea, he did like the way she drank urine - and knew he wouldnt have to work hard at creating a sibling rivalry between her and her brother, star Jake Gyllenhaal.
b.		During the UK video nasty scare of the 1980s anti-censorship journalist Liam T. Sanford wrote a false letter petitioning against this film to the Police Watch Committee, claiming the movie to be sick and horrific, in an attempt to discredit local police forces and expose their lack of film knowledge. Sure enough the film was briefly seized by officers from video retailers before being hastily returned to the shelves.
c.		The play was also the source for the 1905 opera by Richard Strauss (based on Hedwig Lachmanns German translation) with a libretto by the composer.
d.		Walter Huston, who plays Uncle Sam, the personification of the United States, was born in Canada.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?
a.		The films opening prologue is a quotation of a Nazi mandatory loyalty service oath for Soldiers of the German Armed Forces. It states: "I swear by God this sacred oath: That I shall render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler, Führer of the German Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, And that I shall at all times be ready, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath . . . "
b.		Much of the poetry featured in the film is the result of a national poetry search conducted in the literary magazine Poets & Writers.
c.		The print shown on Turner Classic Movies, from Peter Rodgers Organization, is undoubtedly an old 16mm print made for the home movie market before being sold to television in the early 1950s. The tip-off is on the Republic Pictures Logo and the opening title card over which a black bar has been superimposed on the print covering what must have been the words In Trucolor. In 1952 it was cut to 54 minutes for the television market and distributed by Hollywood Television Service whose logo then replaced Republic Pictures on the opening and closing of all their prints; if this were a print made for television it would have those earmarks. The commercially available VHS tapes are also B&W and possibly from the same source, if complete, or else from the television print source, if incomplete. Television prints were all both edited and in black and white. The version shown on the Western Channel is the shorter, television version.
d.		A copy of this film survives at Eastman House (Rochester, New York).

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?

b.		The most commercially successful of both the Alien and the Predator movies, grossing over $172 million.
c.		Shooting overlapped somewhat with the tail-end of production on Universals "other" disaster film of 1974, Earthquake, forcing Charlton Heston, George Kennedy, cinematographer Philip H. Lathrop and producer Jennings Lang to juggle their schedules between the two films. This movie was released first.
d.		When working on her Minnesota accent for the film, Frances McDormand worked with Larissa Kokernot, "Hooker #1." McDormand referred to her accent and mannerisms as "Minnesota Nice."

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Salome (1923)?
a.		In addition to producing, writing, and actually directing, Nazimova also financed the film herself. Its total failure (both domestic and overseas) left her broke.
b.		Originally intended to be the first in a series of "Last American..." movies (based on the popular Israeli "Lemon Popsicle" series which began with Eskimo Limon).
c.		The script was first performed as an original play for Films On Consignments theatrical off-shoot, Theatre On Consignment. The film was shot a week after the plays performance, with the stage cast intact. Shooting consisted of two nights of "bookend" footage (the scenes that open and close the film, showing the characters before and after the bar), and two full days of the titular conversations (two were shot on the first day, three on the second). The conversations were shot with two cameras and lavaliere microphones.
d.		At the start of the film when the boys are trying to convince Mary to go inside the fake spaceship, Andrew Nivens says, "She balked at Pirates of the Caribbean."
