5.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Pawnbroker (1964)?
a.
In the climactic prison uprising, actress
Barbara Rhoades
is last seen wearing a corset (with amply jiggling cleavage), a decorative hat and one elbow-length glove. But interviews with Rhoades, and an actress whod turned down the role, reveal that the scene went further and Rhoades was filmed virtually nude. At least one still photo (apparently from the movie) shows Rhoades nude from the waist up, wearing the same hat and elbow-length glove mentioned above. (She turned down a proposed Playboy pictorial.) In a pre-release interview, Rhoades told interviewer Dan Lewis that she didnt realize her scene would be so "explicit" until the day of shooting. Her character reportedly flees "after her clothes are torn off in a prison scene and she races across the desert in her birthday suit." Actress
Eileen ONeill
was offered the role but turned it down. "When I read the script, my character is ravaged by the revolting prisoners and they tear her clothes off. She then had to run nude from the prison to an outside area lit with floodlights." Even costar
Michael Blodgett
"excitedly" told Hollywood gossip columnist
Marilyn Beck
, "Its a prison story, wild and new...man, such nudity!" Why the explicit nudity was deleted is unexplained, and the footage is presumed lost. By todays standards, what remains is fairly tame: a couple glimpses of the bare backside of star
Kirk Douglas
, a glimpse of a bare breast here and there, and some mildly risque drawings. Promoted as a "cynical western," "There Was a Crooked Man" was released on Christmas Day 1970. It did poorly at the holiday box office.
b.
While walking the streets of New York City, Nazerman passes a theater advertising
The L-Shaped Room
, a film that featured
Brock Peters
, who plays Rodriguez.
c.
John Williams
had actually written two themes for the film. He played them both for
Steven Spielberg
on the piano and Spielberg loved them so much, he suggested that Williams use both of them. He did and the result was the famous "Raiders March," performed by
Star Wars
s London Symphony Orchestra (who did not perform in any more Indiana Jones films). The March has become one of the most popular movie themes of all time.
d.
Film debut of
Ella Raines
.
6.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Pawnbroker (1964)?
a.
Harry Reems
was originally signed to play Coach Calhoun. Producers got cold feet (for fear of his adult movie notoriety) weeks before filming and replaced him with
Sid Caesar
. Prosecuted by the federal government in 1976 on federal charges of conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines, Reems was convicted, but the conviction was overturned on appeal one year later.
b.
Kevin Smith
rewrote the lines for his Warlock character.
Bruce Willis
thought the rewrite was too funny and did not follow the serious mood of the movie. Smith then rewrote the part to what Willis requested.
c.
The music first heard as background on the radio in the scene between Ortiz and his girlfriend was later revived by Quincy Jones to become the title theme music to the Austin Powers films.
d.
Clark Gable
was anxious to do the film because his father had been an oil rigger, and Gable himself had worked on oil rigs in Oklahoma before becoming an actor.

a.
For the desert shots of a travelling Bulma to be perfect,
Emmy Rossum
had to ride the motorcycle in 4-foot sand drifts at a speed of 40 mph. It was an arduous experience ("40mph over bumpy sand dunes that is enough to make anyone a little queasy"), especially since filming would start at sunrise, and the bike would stall a few times and had to be dug out often; however, the cast and crew would assist each other and put everyone at ease for filming to continue well.
b.
The Bassett Hound which brings Lex the Frisbee is the same dog that appears in a number of television commercials for Maytag appliances.
