3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Semi-Tough (1977)?
a.		Tom Cruise auditioned for the role of Johnny Nogerelli, but director Patricia Birch wanted someone older and taller.
b.		The documentary "Showbiz Goes to War" says of this movie: "In 1943, Hollywood glorified New Yorks Stage Door Canteen in a movie of the same name and the public responded to its wartime sentiments by making it a big box-office attraction because the story was sympathetic to the romantic problems of the hostesses who fell in love with soldiers scheduled to go overseas. Audiences could identify with the theme of wartime separation because they were living it themselves . . . Stage Door Canteen was pure propaganda but it pointed out the loneliness of men and women during the Second World war when Saturday night was the loneliest night of the week."
c.		This picture was the first film of a two picture contract between star actor Burt Reynolds and producer David Merrick. The second movie in the deal was Rough Cut.
d.		The house that the plane crashes into was built at one end of the only runway at Lincoln Park Airport, a very small airstrip in Lincoln Park, NJ USA (about 35 miles NW of New York City).

c.		In the scene when Dr. Gordon and Col. Skeffington are first investigating the death of Cassie Tower and her father, the constable asks Dr. Gordon when coming out of the room where presumably Cassie was, if there were "anything else," to which Gordon replies, "Just something about the girl." Dr. Gordon then glowers at Drake McHugh from behind as Drake tells his made-up story (to protect Parris) about plans he (Drake) had with Cassie to run away. This is the only reference in the movie to Cassies being pregnant, despite the fact that Dr. Gordons assumption as to whom was the father is obviously what primarily led to the retribution later taken against Drake. Why the pregnancy was never mentioned is up for speculation: a part of the irony build into the script, or an issue with movie code of the time, or what.
d.		The rednecks in the Louisiana coffee shop who taunt the boys, and the two in the pickup truck at the end of the movie, were all local residents recruited by the filmmakers. In the case of the coffee shop denizens, the filmmakers were preparing to audition a group of local theater people when Dennis Hopper saw Buddy Causey Jr., Duffy Lafont and several others watching them and making wisecracks and decided to use them instead.
