1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Tall T (1957)?
a.		The real Cicero was Elyesa Bazna, an Albanian. In his book, "I Was Cicero" he retells the story, listing his collaborators as a chambermaid and his niece. The character of the countess was a Hollywood fabrication.
b.		Most of the cars were heavily reinforced with roll cages for the bridge jump. However, the roll cage would have been all too obvious in the convertible S2000. So, the stunt crew rigged up a remote control version for the jump with a dummy in the drivers seat.
c.		Michael Curtiz first wanted Doris Day to play the role of Judy Lane, having worked with her before.
d.		Columbia Pictures released this film on a double bill with Hellcats of the Navy starring Ronald Reagan and Nancy Davis.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Tall T (1957)?
a.		When the movie played at Graumanns Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 1974 it was shown in "Sensurround" with heavy bass speakers set on the floor around the theater. Very soon after the preview performances, a giant net had to be rigged above the patrons because of fear that the ornate ceiling decorations might break loose and fall on the audience below due to the low bass rumble of earthquake sequences. During the films initial preview performances at the theatre, the Sensurround vibrations actually caused an occasional, very small and harmless piece of plaster or paint to crack and fall down onto the audience. Worried that continuous periods of strong sound waves throughout the films exclusive run might loosen elements of the ceilings ornamentation and light fixtures, the theatre management ordered the safety net to be slung below the entire auditorium ceiling, just below the ornamentation. This action was publicized in the local papers. Whether or not the ceilings very visible "safety net" was an actual, workable safety measure or whether it was merely a publicity gimmick, it did serve to heighten audience anticipation of the films effects.
b.		A Crime Club Mystery. Based on "Death Catches Up with Mr. Kluck," by Xantippe (a pseudonym).
c.		Before this film, dancer Cyd Charisse had only been in films as a dance specialty or as a co-co star since 1944. Her torrid performance as the Louise Brooks-like vamp in the "Broadway Melody" fantasy number was so successful that it gave MGM the impetus to finally star her in pictures. Her next film was The Band Wagon, starring Fred Astaire.
d.		During filming it was called "The Captives" (Elmore Leonards original story title) and/or "The Tall Rider". Just prior to release someone (no one knows, or will say, who) changed the name to "The Tall T". No-one connected with the project knew what the title referred.
