Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Southern Comfort (1981)?
a.
The song played over parts of the end credits (Track #1 on the soundtrack album, "Theyll Remember You") uses lyrics from
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
s poem "Wanderers Nachtlied" ("Wanderers Night Song"): "Ueber allen Gipfeln / Ist Ruh, / In allen Wipfeln / Spuerest du / Kaum einen Hauch. - Die Voegelein schweigen im Walde. / Warte nur, balde / Ruhest du auch."

c.
Most of
Audrey Hepburn
s singing was dubbed by
Marni Nixon
, despite Hepburns lengthy vocal preparation for the role. A dubber was required because Eliza Doolittles songs were not transposed down to accommodate Audrey Hepburns "low-mezzo voice" (as Marni Nixon referred to it), the way Gueneveres songs were transposed down to accommodate Vanessa Redgraves limited vocal range in Camelot (1967). Audrey Hepburn sang most of "Just You Wait", as well as the reprise to the song, herself, showcasing her ability to sing perfectly at ease when the songs were set in a reasonable tessitura. Audrey also sang one or two lines, elsewhere in the score, such as Sleep, sleep, I couldnt sleep tonight! in "I Could Have Danced All Night". Thus, the claim that Marni Nixon dubbed all of Audrey Hepburns singing (as asserted by such people as syndicated columnist Hedda Hopper), is false.
d.
The fight scene in the cantina took five days to shoot.
