1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Subject Was Roses (1968)?
a.		The "shabby genteel" Bronx apartment in Frank D. Gilroys largely autobiographical "The Subject Was Roses" was recreated and filmed in a warehouse on New Yorks West 26th Street. Exterior scenes of the Bronx were filmed in that boroughs University Heights section, where Pulitzer-winning playwright Frank D. Gilroy spent the first eighteen years of his life before serving in World War II. The neighborhood had changed a great deal in twenty-plus years and was now "down at the heels" but a number of older residents remembered the Gilroy family from back in the day. For authenticity, crew members rolled back prices in the window of a vegetable store to 1946, posted signs to buy War Bonds, and lined the street with period automobiles. Said one older resident: "They even cleaned up the streets. Humph, it takes a movie company to get this neighborhood cleaned up."
b.		Toro Morenos manager, Luis Agrandi, is said to be from Argentina, but his accent in speaking Spanish to his fighter is obviously Mexican, not Argentine.
c.		The scene in which Trent angrily yells at Sue, after Sue insulted Mike, was written specifically at Vince Vaughns request. Vaughn wanted to show that beneath Trents bravado and swagger, he truly cared for Mike as a friend.
d.		It was originally suggested that there would be several sequels to The Breakfast Club, occurring every ten years, in which "The Breakfast Club" would get back together.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Subject Was Roses (1968)?
a.		One of the reasons Michael Mann decided to shoot the film in North Carolina instead of New York was that he felt the woods of North Carolina looked more like the old-growth forests of the Adirondacks, which still show evidence of logging during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many of the scenes were shot at Biltmore, George Vanderbilts North Carolina estate; the forest in the estate was carefully planned and planted about 100 years ago.
b.		Jason Lively also auditioned for the role of J.C.
c.		The boat chase took 7 weeks to shoot, as the Thames 9-MPH boat speed limit had to be factored in. The filming of the boat chase sequence was broadcast live over the Internet via webcam set up at specific points over the River Thames. Two "Clamper" policemen were disturbed in their line of duty during filming, being soaked so much that one of them ended up nearly going over the front of the car they were supposed to be clamping. Needless to say, their reactions in the film are very much real. The scene was not originally intended to be part of the opening sequence, until test audiences said that the jump-from-the-window opener was anticlimactic. As such, it was brought forward and had to be shortened. As it is now, this 14-to-15-minute opener is still the longest pre-credits sequence ever in a James Bond movie.
d.		Jack Albertson won the 1965 Tony Award (New York City) for Supporting or Features Actor in a Drama for "The Subject was Roses" and recreated the role in this production.
