a.		The lead character Apollonia Kowalski is strongly based on the silent film actress Pola Negri, and even named the character after her (the name Pola is a contraction of Apollonia). Director Kotowski built the Apollonia Kowalski character to be one that he imagined Negri would enjoy playing as an old woman.
b.		In the song-and-dance number, "Two-Faced Woman," (music by Arthur Schwartz, lyrics by Howard Dietz), Joan Crawford performed in blackface. Miss Crawfords singing voice was dubbed by India Adams, whose prerecording was originally intended for Cyd Charisse in The Band Wagon. The song-and-dance performance by Miss Charisse (with Oscar Levant on piano) was dropped from this movie, but the footage appears on the DVD release from Warner Home Video. In Thats Entertainment! III, the Charisse and Crawford versions are compared via split screen.
c.		French censorship certificate: -13.
d.		Jeff Bridges modeled his character after Stephen Bruton, who was the music producer for this movie, Kris Kristofferson and John Goodwin.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seconds (1966)?
a.		Director John Frankenheimer wanted to cast Laurence Olivier, then considered the worlds greatest actor, as the lead, but the producers did not want Olivier as he was not a box office draw. Rock Hudson was cast instead. Ironically, Olivier won his seventh Oscar nomination for Othello the year "Seconds" was released.
b.		Taryn Southern who portrays Dorothy Gish in Americas Sweetheart, is not only an accomplished actress, but is also referred as a webutante extraordinaire by Tubefilter.tv, Taryns online videos and series have been seen by more than 100 million people and featured in People, Cosmopolitan, USA Today, Redbook, Maxim, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, ABC, and more.
c.		According to writer Larry Cohen the movie was turned into a stage play in Japan in 2009. He never attended a showing (because "he doesnt understand Japanese so he wouldnt have understood it anyway") but to his knowledge it ran successfully for 4 or 5 months.
d.		The original play, Saturdays Children, opened 26 January 1927 in New York.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seconds (1966)?
a.		The scene in the hangar with dozens of T-1 robots was realized via digital matte painting. Only three full-scale T-1 robots were built for the film.
b.		The big fight sequence between Gene Autry, George J. Lewis and John L. Cason was originally used in The Big Sombrero.
c.		The mounted fish over Arthurs mantle belonged to John Frankenheimer.
d.		Several reasons have been put forward for the film being in black and white. John Ford once claimed it added to the tension, however others involved with production said Paramount was cutting costs and so they had to make the movie on sound stages at the studio. Without the budget restraints, Ford would have been in Monument Valley using Technicolor stock. It has also been suggested that since both John Wayne and James Stewart were playing characters thirty years younger than they actually were (Wayne was 54 when the movie was filmed in the autumn of 1961 and Stewart was 53), the movie needed to be in black and white because they would never have got away with it in color. The age difference was particularly noticeable in Stewarts case, since he was playing a young lawyer who had only just graduated from law school and had moved West without even practicing law back East.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seconds (1966)?
a.		Director Jonathan Mostow was set to direct a Seconds remake.
b.		Although the basic situations in this film and the original 1972 "Sleuth" are frequently very similar, all of the dialogue has been completely changed (from both the 1972 film and the original play).
c.		In the ending as it was originally planned, Frost turned into La Magra and became a large swirling mass of blood instead of keeping his form. This was scrapped because they couldnt get the special effects to look right. It can be seen as a special feature on the DVD.
d.		Dr. Grabow in MANT is named after a popular, inexpensive brand of brier pipe.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seconds (1966)?
a.		Although Rock Hudson is top billing, he appears on screen only after 40 minutes of running time because the character he plays has quite different face and look after being transformed by a physical reconstruction surgery. John Randolph was chosen to play the scenes of the beginning before the physical reconstruction surgery.
b.		Samuel Fuller submitted a screenplay that was almost completely different from what was filmed. Among other things, the Lee Marvin character was not a sheriff, but a KKK leader whose racist viewpoint is completely changed around. However, Paramount got nervous about the provocative nature of the screenplay and ordered it rewritten, infuriating Fuller (who left the project because of this) and Marvin (who wanted out but had already signed a contract.)
c.		This film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1994.
d.		The original cut delivered to United Artists was longer, featuring Kim Hunter in the role of Jennifers mother. This cut was ruled too arty (i.e. disastrous in the eyes of studio barons) so the film was re-cut to 90 minutes. Kim Hunters role was completely cut.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Seconds (1966)?

Although this film is nowadays viewed as a cult classic, European critics at the Cannes Film Festival were so hostile to the film that director John Frankenheimer refused to leave nearby Monte Carlo, where he was shooting Grand Prix, for the press conference. Rock Hudson was sent instead and was unable to answer the critical questions during the hostile session.
b.		Supervisor Lou L. Ostrow was so dissatisfied with the style of the movie he wanted to replace director Jacques Tourneur after four days of filming. Producer Val Lewton got studio head Charles Koerner to reinstate Tourneur, and when Ostrow insisted on the panther appearing in the drafting room sequence, Lewton had Tourneur use low lighting putting the panther in the shadows.
c.		Both Paul Ford and John Randolph were working on the New York stage in the hit drama "Command Decision" (which itself would be produced by MGM as a Clark Gable vehicle) when they appeared in this film, which was shot on location in the city.
d.		This was actually Marie Dresslers turnaround film. After having quite a slump in her career, Dressler was apparently having her last meal at a restaurant before killing herself when Allan Dwan, who was sitting at a nearby table, ended up offering her the role for King Vidor that night. The movie was a success, and Dresslers career skyrocketed again.

c.		Although Clint Eastwood made the phrase "Go ahead, make my day" famous, it was originally used a year earlier by actor Gary Swanson in the movie Vice Squad.
