Famous trivia from Hollywood movie : The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)

This quiz will test your movies knowledge by asking you questions related to the various famous movie trivia from the Hollywood movie: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004).

About the movie: The feature adaptation of Roger Lewis' book about the actor best remembered as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)?
a.		Part of the original SHOCK THEATER package of 52 titles released to television in 1957, followed a year later with SON OF SHOCK, which added 21 more features.
b.		Rob Brydon played Dustin Hoffman in a deleted scene, which took place at the 1980 Academy Awards and involved Sellers losing the Oscar for Best Actor (for his performance in Being There) to Hoffman (for his performance in Kramer vs. Kramer), during his acceptance speech Hoffman declared "I refuse to believe that I beat Peter Sellers". Though the Academy Awards scene was deleted, the framing scene of Sellers watching it on TV is still in the picture. It has merely been reedited so whats playing on the TV has been changed to the scene from Being There that he filmed. The look on Sellers face as he watches was originally his expression while rewinding the tape of Hoffman saying "I beat Peter Sellers" and playing it over and over again. Stephen Hopkins says on the DVD commentary that the scene was altered because his dramatic point got lost in the exposition of showing Sellers lose the Oscar.
c.		When Jack Nicholson received the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama, he commented afterward, "Im a little surprised. I thought we had made a comedy."
d.		The scene where Aeon catches a fly with her eyelash is taken directly from the animated TV show.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers (2004)?
a.		The scenes in the FBI Headquarters were filmed at the "Haagse Hogeschool" in The Hague, the Netherlands. The building you see is the school.
b.		Barry Miles, in his 1999 biography "King of the Beats", claims that "Subterraneans" author Jack Kerouac suffered from an Oedipal complex in which he replaced his father Leo as his mothers faux-"husband". Kerouac always returned to his mother Gabrielle (called "Memère") after his adventures, and wound up living with her permanently after the success of "On The Road" gave him enough money to buy a house. Kerouacs friends, such as William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg were aghast that Jack was bound so tightly by his mothers apron strings, thinking it kept him emotionally retarded. He failed to have a deep, lasting relationship with any of his wives or any other woman (his last wife, Stella, was described by most as being a kind of household slave abused by both Jack and "Memère"). Kerouac defended himself, saying he made a solemn oath to his father Leo on his deathbed to take care of his mother, though it was unlikely he meant that Jack should forgo having a stable marriage of his own and live with "Memère" for the rest of his life. On her part, Memère kept Kerouac infantalized, with his own blessing: She opened his mail and forbade certain of his friends from visiting her home (and Jacks home), such as Ginsburg, who had known him all their adult lives. After reading Jacks mail, Memère would send poisonous letters to Ginsburg and others, including Jacks girlfriends, which Jack defended. Burroughs became so disgusted he terminated his friendship with Kerouac. On his part, Miles points out that Kerouac was well aware of his Oedipal problem. Kerouac named the character modeled after himself in The Subterraneans "Leo Percepeid." Leo is his fathers name, and Percepied translates literally to wounded (or "pierced") foot. Oedipus, as a baby, was ritually wounded on the foot and left to die before being saved, then growing up and slaying his father and bedding his mother.
c.		Geoffrey Rush initially turned down the film, feeling he didnt possess the mental capacity to play Peter Sellers. But after finishing Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Rush changed his mind and decided to do the film, feeling that the previous film had put him in the right mindset.
d.		The earrings that Howard Saint gives to his wife are not props but real Harry Winston diamonds, valued at $1 million.
