1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Hidden (1987)?
a.
David Lean
s first choice for the title role was
Peter OToole
who declined, citing the grueling experience of having made
Lawrence of Arabia
with Lean. This created a rift between the two that was never fully healed.
Dirk Bogarde
and
Max von Sydow
were considered for the title role but was never actually offered the part before Lean offered the role to
Omar Sharif
.
b.
In the nightclub scene, Marlowe (
James Garner
) takes a sip of wine and smirking, judges it "impertinent. . .even baroque." These were the exact words that a character in
Gore Vidal
s Myra Breckinridge (published a year earlier) had used to describe Garners butt in an excerpt from an obtuse film journal that appeared in the novel. Obviously, an inside joke and from Garners smarmy delivery of what was otherwise a pointless remark, he was very much in on the gag.
c.
The two award ceremony scenes are parodies of two real award recipients whom
Spike Lee
has publicly criticized: the first, where DelaCroix is fumbling around and yelling "Show me the money!", is a jab at
Cuba Gooding Jr.
s enthusiastic victory speech for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor; the second scene, in which DelaCroix becomes a teary-eyed brown-noser to
Matthew Modine
, is a shot at
Ving Rhames
Golden Globe victory in which he gave teary-eyed kudos to
Jack Lemmon
.
d.
During an interview on TNT in 1994,
Claudia Christian
mentioned The Hidden as being her prior experience with aliens. She said this qualified her to work on
Babylon 5
.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Hidden (1987)?
a.
Although both Gallagher and his quarry inhabit human bodies, they do seem to have different abilities and limitations. Gallagher is able to spot the other in any body by sight, while his enemy cannot. Also Gallagher seems to be able to repair damage to his host body, while his enemys presence "uses up" his host in a matter of days.
b.
Most roadshow film presentations made at that time had an overture recorded especially for the film, meant to be heard while the lights in the theater were still up and the movie screen curtains were still closed. Then, at the end of the overture, the lights would go down and the film would start with what was known as its Main Title music. The overture to the stage version of "My Fair Lady" was longer than the films opening credits, but Lerner and Loewe apparently still wanted to use it. So, rather than using the typical roadshow format of Overture and Main Title music to get around this, the filmmakers shot the film so that half of the Overture is heard against shots of flowers appearing on the screen; then halfway through the Overture, the lights go down and the opening credits begin.
c.
The revolver that Malone uses is a Mateba Model 6 Unica, an automatic revolver, one of only a few such models ever produced.
d.
The box office failure of this movie was believed to be ultimately responsible for the demise of RKO Pictures studios.

Henry Fonda
(Juror #8) and
Joseph Sweeney
(Juror #9) meet briefly on the courthouse steps. Fonda introduces himself as "Davis", Sweeney as "McCardle".
b.
The transfer of the alien from DeVries into Jonathan Miller was accomplished by stop-motion photography. During the stops, stage hands would work at stuffing the creature model into the mock head. Actor William Boyett, upon seeing the alien going into "his" mouth, was so disgusted he refused to watch and actually left the room.
c.

Sean Tuohy
was entering his ninth season as a broadcaster for the NBA Memphis Grizzlies. As depicted in the movie, Tuohy also has a successful fast food business.
d.
