2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Escape (1963)?
a.
Originally entitled "Stingray" until another movie with the same title was released first, probably to cash in on the advanced hype of
Mark Hamill
s first post-
Star Wars
movie role. Both flopped.

.

a.
According to
David McCallum
, the barbed wire that Hilts (
Steve McQueen
) crashes into near the end of the film, which was actually made of rubber, was made by the cast and crew during their free time by tying small pieces of rubber around larger ones.

.
4.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Escape (1963)?
a.
Susan Slept Here
was condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency primarily for its suggestive title. In a male dominated society
George Washington Slept Here

The Moon Is Blue
ban a year earlier in shocked response to the word virgin used outside the church!

5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Great Escape (1963)?
a.
The name of the commissioner on the film is "Loeb". However, this is NOT a reference to comic book writer
Jeph Loeb
, author of the graphic novels "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory", but rather simply the canonical name of the Gotham City police commissioner when Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham. This is shown in
Frank Miller
s Year One, which actually influenced both "The Long Halloween" and "Dark Victory" and was published nearly a full decade before either of these.
b.
This film was responsible for launching the career of
Bette Midler
. She can be seen in the crowd as an extra playing a seasick passenger aboard a ship listening to the preacher played by
Max von Sydow
. Midler was also hired for a small speaking role and went to Los Angeles to film these scenes in a studio. Her scenes were cut from the final film. However, Bette used the money she earned to move to New York, where her career took off.
c.
The individual incidents in the film are mostly true, but were rearranged as to both the timing and the people involved. (A note at the start of the film acknowledges this.) For instance, of the 76 who escaped, there were indeed 3 who got away and 50 who were murdered in reprisal, but the murders occurred in small groups, not all at once. (14 Germans were executed after the war for their parts in them.)
d.
This was originally intended to be a
John Barrymore
vehicle. However Barrymores alcoholism was catching up with him and his memory repeatedly failed. After three days of production with virtually nothing shot, the producers were forced to replace him with
Ricardo Cortez
.
6.

Tim Kazurinsky
(Sweetchuck) had a guest appearance on
Police Academy: The Series
as a janitor.
b.
In real life, the forger was
James Hill
, so obviously the stuff about him going blind and being shot dead is fiction.

was considered for a part. His then wife,
Rita Coolidge
, has a small role in the film.
d.
Believed lost. Please check your attic.

starring
Vincent Price
and
Christopher Lee
.
b.
This is one of a handful of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer productions of the 1950-1951 period whose original copyrights were never renewed and are now apparently in Public Domain; for this reason this title is now offered, often in very inferior copies, at bargain prices, by numerous VHS and DVD distributors who do not normally handle copyrighted or Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer material.
