Emma Thompsons version of the flashback scene finally was agreed on.
c.		Winner of Best Picture at the Backlot Film Festival in Los Angeles.
d.		At the same time this movie was shooting the hospital scene on the ramps at Columbia University, Comedy Central was filming Porn n Chicken right outside. In fact, the graduation set for Porn n Chicken is in the distance outside the glass wall. Kurt Fuller appears in both films.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Americanization of Emily (1964)?
a.		James Garner says that this is his favorite of his movies.
b.		Number 9 on Owen Gleibermans Entertainment Weekly Magazine list of the 10 best movies of 2008.
c.		Body Count: 10.
d.		Isabelle Huppert was the first choice for Madame Mimieux, the former owner of the cinema featured in the film. But scheduling conflicts got in the way, so Quentin Tarantino cast Maggie Cheung in the role. The role wound up being cut out of the finished film.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Americanization of Emily (1964)?
a.		Frank Capra first became aware of the play when he caught a performance of it when he was in New York in 1937 for the premiere of Lost Horizon. He tried to persuade Columbia boss Harry Cohn to buy the rights but Cohn refused, partly because he baulked at the prospect of shelling out what he considered to be the exorbitant sum of $200,000 for the rights, but mainly because he was still smarting from the lost battles hed had with Capra over the final edit of Lost Horizon. Capra too was out of sorts with Cohn as he objected strongly to the Columbia boss trying to market the Jean Arthur film If You Could Only Cook in Britain as one of his own. A court case ensued, only being resolved in November 1937, with the proviso that Columbia buy the rights to the play and assign the project to Capra.
b.		Mike opens the rooms Bible at random to Chapter 11 of Samuel 2; 11 and 2 equal 13. (Not to mention that book sharing its name with Samuel L. Jackson.) Also--though it may be pure coincidence--the 13th verse of this same chapter is a close analogy to Mr. Olins dealings with Mike: "At Davids invitation, he Uriah ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his masters servants; he did not go home." (New International Version.) This is part of the famous story of how King David sent Uriah out to die in battle so that he could marry Uriahs wife Bathsheeba. Olins last line in the film implies a similar duplicity.
c.		The song "Lonely Room" (sung by Jud) was omitted from the film. In the song, Jud explains his bitter resentments and deep frustrations. Possibly this was considered too strong for 1955 film-goers.
d.		According to screenwriter Joe Eszterhass 2004 autobiography "American Animal", producer Martin Ransohoff removed director William Wyler from the picture as Wyler wanted to change Paddy Chayefskys script. It was a rare instance in which a producer supported a screenwriter over a director, particularly one of Wylers caliber. As Chayefsky was known to have guarantees written into his contracts protecting his scripts, Ransohoff may have had no choice but to replace Wyler with Arthur Hiller.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Americanization of Emily (1964)?
a.		Many viewers claim that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino never (or hardly ever) actually share screen time during the film, despite the hype surrounding the films release as showcasing their first screen appearance. In most Pan and Scan versions of the film, and TV broadcasts, it does appear that during the "diner scene" the two never actually share the screen, but viewing the film in correct letterbox format, as the director intended, clearly shows the two actors sitting at the table, though only in wide shots.
b.		The role of Lt. Cmdr. Charles E. Madison was originally offered to William Holden, while James Garner was considered for the part of "Bus" Cummings.
c.		In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked this as the #86 Greatest Movie of All Time.

c.		This film is believed to be lost.
