This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003).

About the movie: A New York advertising executive travels to a small Southern town to collect an inheritance but finds he must create a gospel choir and lead it to success before he can collect.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		The film first aired on television on the cable movie network Showtime nearly two years after its release.
b.		The first movie recorded in Stereo using the Westrex Recording system. The Stereophonic version exists in the form of studio acetate masters but was never married to the picture. Only a handful of theaters were equipped for multi-channel sound at the time of its original release.
c.		The meaning of Operation Cross Eagles, according to the film, was that Cross Eagles was the code name for the allied invasion of the Balkans.
d.		Because of the hillbilly makeup, some of the hillbillies were not recognizable. However, three non-hillbilly cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear in the movie. These were (with their character names): Eddie Acuff (Roscoe Turner), Irving Bacon (Photographer) and George Ovey (Telegraph Operator).

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		In South Africa, the last name "van der Merwe" really is a fairly common surname (it, like many Afrikaans names, comes from the Dutch), but it would also be recognizable to most South Africans as the common name in a whole genre of jokes about stupid, bumbling, oblivious, or incompetent Afrikaaners. The fact that the Wikus van der Merwe character is (at least at the beginning of the film) an ineffectual, catastrophically clueless bureaucrat is immediately communicated by the screenwriters decision to give him that particular name.
b.		In adapting the Anthony Burgess, book, minor incidents and characters were omitted or conflated. Some of their dialogue was reassigned to other characters, including a nameless court officials line "I hope to God itll torture you to madness," reassigned to PR Deltoid. Characters not in the film include a librarian harmed by Alex who gets revenge 2 years later, prison friends (including a kindly abortionist who helps fellow prisoners injured in brawls) and prison enemies (including a man who dies of a heart attack after Alex strikes him in self-defense). A more drastic change is a scene of Alex drugging and raping two 10-year-old girls from the record shop, filmed as a consensual encounter with girls his own age. The book edition that Stanley Kubrick was given to read, excised the entire final (21st) chapter of the book. In this, Alex (no longer cured) has recruited a new gang and continues his mayhem. Later, he runs into Pete, who now has a job and a family. Alex, having grown older and bored with mayhem, chooses to follow suit. He decides it is more challenging and pleasurable to build and create rather than destroy, and that he would like to build a future for himself.
c.		The church pews and ministers podium in the movie were taken from St. Pauls United Methodist Church in Atlanta and moved into a church in Senoia Georgia (the white one with the turret used in the exterior scenes). The ministers office, kitchen and the rehearsal space thats not the choir loft where they perform was filmed in the Atlanta church. St. Pauls used the money for allowing filming in the church to add air conditioning to the sanctuary.
d.		Although John Younger is portrayed as a cousin of the Youngers, he was a brother.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		Based on the short film "Conspiracy", written and directed by Marc Clebanoff.
b.		Lillys last name is never mentioned.
c.		In 1951, after 25 years in show business, Gary Coopers professional reputation declined, and he was dropped from the Motion Picture Heralds list of the top 10 Box Office performers. In the following year he made a big comeback at the age of 51 with this film.
d.		"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on April 29, 1946 with Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer reprising their film roles.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		Kathy Bates originally played Frankie in the play "Frankie and Johnny at the Clair de Lune," which was turned into the film Frankie and Johnny, directed by Garry Marshall. This was filmed before Misery became a hit and turned Bates into a well-known actress, so she was not cast in the film version. In this film, she finally works with Marshall.
b.		Director Jack Bernhard met wife Jean Gillie in England, where he was stationed during WWII. He intended this film as a vehicle to showcase her to American audiences, but they divorced a short while later, and she did only one other film before her early death at age 33.
c.		When Alfred Hitchcocks discussion with Grace Kelly (to appear as the title character) became public, the residents of Monaco expressed their disapproval, and Kelly withdrew. In a further complication, since Kelly had not fulfilled her MGM contract when she married Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956, she could not appear in any film other than an MGM film until she fulfilled the terms of her MGM contract.
d.		Other than Darrins marriage proposal, Darrin and Lilly never state their love (or true feelings) towards each other at all in the film.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		Filming ran from November, 2007 through August, 2009.
b.		"The Hedda Hopper Show - This Is Hollywood" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on November 23, 1946 with Akim Tamiroff reprising his film role.
c.		In addition to Books Christianity, which was established during the series, characters also practice Buddhism (Inara lights "incense" in front of a Buddha shrine in her room) and Judaism (Mr. Universe steps on a glass at the end of his wedding). In The Message, the Postal Agent was wearing a yarmulke (kippah), which is worn by Orthodox Jews.
d.		Beyoncé Knowles gained weight for the role.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Fighting Temptations (2003)?
a.		The Wizards chess-set Harry and Ron were playing, the red queen is from the Lewis Chessmen, the most important of all chess pieces dating from the 12th Century. They were found in 1831 on a beach in Uig, Lewis. 78 pieces were recovered in all, and are now in the care of the National Museum of Scotland and in the British Museum in London.
b.		This is the fourth consecutive film where Woody Allen has filmed outside of the United States (after Match Point, Scoop and Cassandras Dream). New York does feature as a filming location in the film but it is believed Allen has tired of filming in New York, hence the existence of European locations in his recent work.
c.		The film started out as a project for Sean Combs.
d.		John Gordon, who played broadcaster Wally Holland, is the real-life voice of the Minnesota Twins. While his use of silly statistics (e.g. batting average against left handed pitchers faced at home for the first time in the last month of the season) is a parody, he did use his trademark home run call when he said "Touch em all, Mickey Scales!"
