Having fallen ill during an engagement at the Zanzibar Room in Hollywood, he had boarded the Santa Fe Chief in Los Angeles and was headed for New York City.

d.		The "Fountain Pen Sketch" was taken from the hit musical (over 400 performances) that opened in New York in 1948, and starred Sid Caesar. Max Showalter, who performs that specialty number in this movie, was also in that opening night cast playing the same role, as well as others.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Miracle of the Bells (1948)?
a.		In the German translation Glastenberry says "We are right" instead of "Hitler was right".
b.		Lee J. Cobb credited Sinatra with saving his life after his career was nearly ruined by his defiance of the House Un-American Activities Committee investigating Communist "subversion" in the film industry. Cobb had defied HUAC for two years, after being named as a supposed Communist by Larry Parks in 1951. During those two years, Cobbs once flourishing career floundered and his wife had to be institutionalized after having a mental breakdown. Finally he agreed to testify as a "friendly" witness, appearing before HUAC in 1953. At the conclusion of his testimony, he praised the committee. Soon after his appearance there he had a massive heart attack. Sinatra - who barely knew Cobb - got him a part in his film The Miracle of the Bells when no other studio would hire Cobb. In addition, knowing that Cobb was broke, Sinatra paid his hospital bills, then had Cobb stay with him before renting him a luxurious apartment. Cobb believes that Sinatra identified with him as a troubled artist down on his luck, as Sinatras own career had been in a severe tailspin before he resurrected himself by winning an Oscar for From Here to Eternity. Cobb later said that if it wasnt for Sinatra, he didnt think he would have come through that period alive.
c.		Just like the first two Hank Danger films, this film is a serial. The seven chapters were posted one per week on the Internet. The chapter titles: 1. Dead End Alley! 2. Double Danger! 3. Jungle Menace! 4. Gauntlet of Terror! 5. Danger in the Deep! 6. The Mastermind Revealed! 7. Molten Fury!
d.		Carrie Fisher did some uncredited rewriting on the final draft of the screenplay.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Miracle of the Bells (1948)?
a.		The green remote-control Dodge can be seen again all fixed up in the sequel.
b.		Rumor had it that Ben Hecht took the screenplay assignment on condition he didnt have to read the book. Quentin Reynolds, who is credited onscreen as screenwriter, supposedly read the book and reported its contents to Hecht.
c.		In the Mob Song, when Gaston says "Screw your courage to the sticking place", this is a reference to Shakespeares Macbeth.
d.		When Mel Brooks and the rest of the filmmakers gathered together for the first time to discuss the making of the movie, one of the early questions was should the picture be made in black-and-white, mainly because Brooks earlier film Young Frankenstein was made in black and white in order to give the movie the feeling of the old Universal Frankenstein films. This idea was dropped, mainly because, as Steve Haberman said in the audio commentary of the film in DVD, a lot of the great Dracula movies were in color, specifically the Hammer pictures starring Christopher Lee and Francis Ford Coppolas Dracula.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Miracle of the Bells (1948)?
a.		In addition to playing the ice man, Hal Smith dubbed in the voices for Mr. Askin and the gas station attendant.
b.		This film is believed lost. Please check your attic.
c.		Producer Jesse L. Lasky sought approval from the Catholic Church of Frank Sinatra before casting him as Father Paul. The church had no objections.
d.		A piano and vocal interpretation of Clint Mansells "Stay With Me" theme was originally recorded for the end credits, with Justin Skomarovsky on piano and Antony Hegarty (of the group Antony and the Johnsons) on vocal. Director Darren Aronofsky, though satisfied with the piano arrangement, didnt feel that Antonys lyrics consummately reflected the films message and narrative. Ultimately, Aronofsky discarded the song and opted instead to record Skomarovskys piano arrangement with veteran Hollywood pianist Randy Kerber.
