1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Duke Is Tops (1938)?
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.		Lena Horne did not attend the June, 1938 NAACP charity premiere in Pittsburgh because she was not paid for her work.

c.		It was clear to the writers from the very beginning that the entire final sequence of the novel (Frodo and Sams encounter with Shelob) would be part of the third film, not this one. This tactical move meant the battle for Helms Deep became this films natural climax.
