1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Summertree (1971)?
a.		Based upon characters from an extensive series of spy/fantasy novels called "The Destroyer".
b.		The character of Ben was originally written as an angry person. When Duane Jones was given the role, he expressed concern that the character be rewritten to remove some of the anger - such as the scene where Ben hits Barbara - afraid of how it would be widely perceived in the United States at the time to see a black man acting in this way. The nation was still plagued with high racial tensions during the late sixties; the film was released to theaters shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King. Nonetheless, George A. Romero and most of the rest of the predominantly white crew decided against it, thinking they were being "hip" by not changing it. Years later, Romero lamented that he had not taken Jones concerns more into consideration, and thought that he was probably correct. Hes expressed that he wishes he could speak with the late Jones again, asking him how he felt about the films legendary status, and believes Jones would just say "Who knew?" and laugh.
c.		Though it is never credited, the film is based on Francis Marion Crawfords classic horror story of the same title, first published around 1906. Interestingly, Crawfords inspiration for the tale, in turn, came from the folklore surrounding the so-called "screaming skull" that was kept on display at Bettiscomb Manor in Dorset, England. The actual skull that inspired both the story and the movie is said to be that of a black slave whose request for burial in his native country was denied following his death and was subsequently followed by strange occurrences and unexplainable shrieking noises that emanated from the wooden box in which the skull was kept.
d.		Kirk Douglas, bought the film rights to the play as a gift to his son after Michael Douglas was fired from the stage production.
