This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Eve of St. Mark (1944).

About the movie:

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Eve of St. Mark (1944)?
a.		Bette Davis claims that Edmund Goulding worked on the script and added the character of Judiths best friend Ann so that Judith would never have to complain about her tragedy.
b.		The film premiered at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival in its original running time of 229 minutes, but on its American release the film was heavily edited by the Ladd Company (against Sergio Leones wishes) and cut down to 144 minutes. This version scrapped the flashback structure Leone used, and instead arranged all the scenes in chronological order (a well-meaning but ultimately demeaning and criticized move). Most of the major cuts were in the childhood scenes, making the 1933 scenes the most prominent part of the film. Noodles 1968 meeting with Deborah was removed, and the films "garbage truck/opium den" conclusion was altered to Secretary Bailey shooting himself offscreen. This version flopped in the U.S. and many American critics, who knew of Leones original cut, attacked the short version viciously; some critics compared shortening the film to shortening Richard Wagners operas (some of which run over five hours), saying that works of art that are meant to be long should be given the respect they deserve.
c.		Michael OShea, Stanley Prager, George Matthews, Joann Dolan , Joven E. Rola and Toni Favor all reprised their original stage roles in the film.
d.		Mercedes McCambridge had to sue Warner Brothers for credit as the voice of the demon.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Eve of St. Mark (1944)?
a.		The title refers to an old superstition that those sitting in church of the Eve of St. Marks Feast Day (April 24) will see ghostly images of all who will die during the coming year.
b.		Close to the end of the film, after landing on Vulcan. While Spocks body is being carried up the long staircase to begin the fal tor pan ritual, the "maidens" carrying Spock are not actually touching him. They are actually holding their hands above him, effectively levitating his body to the altar.
c.		The computer listed in the credits that was used to help create the movie is called the "Roddenberry".
d.		John Hodiak died suddenly one morning just before he headed to the set to film one of his final scenes for this film. He suffered a heart attack.
