The movie was a huge hit. When MGM discovered that a clause in director
King Vidor
s contract entitled him to 20% of the net profits, studio lawyers called a meeting with him. At the meeting, MGM accountants played up the costs of the picture while downgrading the studio forecast of its potential success. Vidor was persuaded to sell his stake in the film for a small sum. The film ran for 96 weeks at the Astor Theater and grossed $5 million (approximately $50 million in 2003 dollars) domestically by 1930, making it the most profitable release in MGM history at that point.

b.
The unit portrayed is the 42d Infantry Division (Rainbow Division) as determined by the three color (red-yellow-blue) rainbow patch (long version) worn on the upper left sleeve of the uniform. Casualties were so high that post-war the patch was cut in half and worn on the forward half of the sleeve instead of centered because "we left half our rainbow in France." During the transport scene the tailgates of the trucks are all painted with "42" and then the truck number. The credits thank the 2d Division (Indianhead) so painting the "4" prior to the pre-existing "2" may have facilitated that. The 42d Division was later a New York Army National Guard unit and you could find units in Syracuse, Geneva, etc.
c.

Alec Coppel
worked on the script for about a week in mid-November 1954, shortly before the final set of retakes was done.

7.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Big Parade (1925)?
a.
Two dream sequences for this film were made in the 2-color Technicolor process. This was the first commercially released color footage to be lit with artificial light.
b.
The original scripted fight with the Power Ranger teens and the Tengus was heavily toned down for the film. In the movie, the Rangers are often leaping away from flying Tengu warriors, and the Tengus are seen tackling the Rangers to the ground or being held in the grip of Tengus. It was originally written as a more intense fight to show just how much stronger and deadlier the Tengus were. Among the sequences included were a Tengus beak biting and cutting into Adams hand, a Tengu drawing blood as it scratches Kimberlys back, and Tommy getting bloody cuts as a Tengu pecks at him with his beak. This fight scene was quickly rejected from the script by the crew, because Fox and Saban Entertainment did not want to show such a violent, scary fight sequence or have the Rangers have injuries that would draw blood to avoid complaints from parents who had already been outspoken about the violence shown in episodes of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series.
c.
Technical advisor
Dale Dye
was also the door-gunner on one of the Hueys after the church ambush. He made sure that his visor was down to disguise the identity of the gunner, as Dye also played Captain Harris.
d.
Is the highest grossing silent film of all time, making $22 million during its worldwide release
8.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Big Parade (1925)?
a.
The filmmakers persuaded
Tom Felton
to convince his girlfriend, Jade Olivia, to play Draco Malfoys wife, Astoria Greengrass, in the films epilogue.
b.
Michael J. Fox
had always been the first choice for Marty, but he was unavailable due to scheduling conflicts with his work on
Family Ties
. As "Family Ties" co-star
Meredith Baxter
was pregnant at the time, Fox was carrying a lot more of the show than usual. The shows producer
Gary David Goldberg
simply couldnt afford to let Fox go. Zemeckis and Gale then cast
Eric Stoltz
as Marty based on his performance in
Mask
. After four weeks of filming
Robert Zemeckis
and
Bob Gale
felt that Stoltz wasnt right for the part and Stoltz agreed. By this stage, Baxter was back fully on the show and Goldberg agreed to let Fox go off to make the film. Fox worked out a schedule to fulfill his commitment to both projects. Every day during production, he drove straight to the movie set after taping of the show was finished every day and averaged about five hours of sleep. The bulk of the production was filmed from 6pm to 6am, with the daylight scenes filmed on weekends. Reshooting Stoltzs scenes added $3 million dollars to the budget.
c.
After director
King Vidor
complained to MGM production chief
Irving Thalberg
that he was tired of shooting pictures that played in theaters for just one week, he told Thalberg about a new kind of realistic war movie he had envisioned. Thalberg was enthusiastic about Vidors vision, and tried to buy the rights to the hit Broadway play "What Price Glory?" co-written by
Maxwell Anderson
and World War I Marine veteran
Laurence Stallings
. Since the rights to the popular anti-war play had already been acquired, Thalberg hired Stallings to come to Hollywood and write a screenplay for the new, realistic war picture that Vidor had dreamed about making. Stallings came up with "The Big Parade", an anti-war story that dispensed with traditional concepts of heroism, focusing instead on a love story between a Yank soldier and a French girl. After Vidor completed principal photography (at a cost of $200,000, approximately $2.1 million in 2003 dollars), Thalberg took the rough cut and previewed it before live audiences in Colorado. The audiences responded favorably, and Thalberg decided to expand the scope of the picture, as Vidor had created a war picture without many scenes of war. He had Vidor restage the famous marching army column sequence with 3000 extras, 200 trucks and 100 airplanes. After Vidor moved on to another project, Thalberg had other battle scenes shot by director
George W. Hill
. The result was a major hit that proved to be MGMs most profitable silent picture.
d.
Gary Graver, the Director of Photography, agreed to shoot the movie for free. In exchange, he was given a set of master tapes, from a previously unfinished project the director made in 1999, featuring Kenneth Anger and Forrest Ackerman.
