1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Sinners' Holiday (1930)?
a.		Based on the Marie Baumer play "Penny Arcade", directed by William Keighley, which debuted on Broadway on March 11, 1930. It flopped, running just three weeks, enabling Al Jolson to pick up the screen rights for $20,000. He resold it to Warner Brothers at a tidy profit with a proviso that James Cagney and Joan Blondell be cast in their original roles.
b.		Third of three movies that paired Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
c.		The main characters name is "LANG" which is a play on words for "Liu Kang" - the Mortal Kombat character. Both Lang and Liu Kang are "chosen" heroes. This is possibly a Mortal Kombat reference as Ho Sung Pak was very well known for his role of Liu Kang in the first two Mortal Kombat video games.
d.		The play was written for Gertrude Lawrence and her appearance in the film version was contractually guaranteed. However, shortly after the show opened she was diagnosed with cancer, and she died while still playing the role on Broadway.

a.		The "Holy Hand Grenades" were actually Christmas ornaments filled with water.
b.		This film is primarily notable because it marked the movie debut of the electrifying James Cagney. Cagney was signed for the film, along with Joan Blondell, at the insistence of Al Jolson, who had seen the pair in the Broadway stage version, originally titled, "Penny Arcade," bought the rights, and insisted that they repeat their performances in the Warner Brothers film. Interestingly, though Cagney owed his film start to Jolson, the two would never meet.
c.		It was producer Robert Shaye that actually came up with the idea of the character of The Bleeder. Shaye liked the idea of a crazed murderer who always hid his face and was revealed later in the film.
d.		Ronald McCall had to cut his dreadlocks to play the character of Papa Justify.
