1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thin Man (1934)?
a.

The Thin Man
while serving guests at a Christmas Party, and in
My Man Godfrey
when he comes home "intoxicated"
William Powell
sings the same line to a song, "For tomorrow may bring sorrow, so tonight let us be gay"

2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thin Man (1934)?
a.
During the parts of "Wouldnt It be Loverly" featuring
Audrey Hepburn
s own singing voice, her lip-syncing does not match her own singing as well as it does
Marni Nixon
s singing, even though Hepburn filmed the scene with her own track. This shouldnt be surprising considering that Marni Nixon "looped" her vocals to the song after the number was already filmed - and was given multiple attempts to match Audrey Hepburns lip movements precisely (as was the case when she dubbed Natalie Wood in West Side Story (1961) ). Marni Nixon discusses this in her autobiography, where she actually praises Audrey Hepburn for lip-synching very well to her own track, despite what the first paragraph of this piece of trivia says.
b.
American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931-40 erroneously identifies

(Cooper) throws a stage punch the first time, but misjudges the distance of the second and catches

(Wells) on the nose. Pertwee didnt feel the punch however as he really was drunk for that scene.

Jays line on the "driver airbag" ("Actually it came with a black dude, but he kept getting pulled over.") was not written in the script as
Will Smith
improvised it at the time. The producers liked it so much it even made the theatrical trailer. The Director however was not happy, it was played over and over in the month of June prior to the films release, making the joke old and tired by the time people saw it in the movie.

c.
For the first time in 70 years, 20th Century Fox shipped prints of
Hide and Seek
, without the final reel, which would be shipped separately. This was done as a security measure as so people wouldnt be able to reveal the final ending. To further ensure the safety of protecting the films ending, security guards would hand-deliver the reel to theaters showing the film. Fox had individually numbered each reel as well as a final security measure. Fox executive VP and sales manager Richard Myerson stated it was "to ensure everyones enjoyment of the film and to prevent spoilers, weve instituted extraordinary measures. We think its worth the effort."
d.
This was noted by the Guiness Book of World Records (1990) as to being the most violent film. It was noted with 221 acts of violence and over 108 deaths.
6.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thin Man (1934)?
a.
The opening was originally intended to be much longer, with Kirk and Spock assembling the crew from their post-Enterprise careers. Scotty was in charge of the engineering team disassembling the captured Bird-of-Prey. Uhura was a radio hostess. Chekhov was playing chess with aliens. However, budget limitations forced these scenes to be scrapped and replaced with the introduction at Starfleet Headquarters.
b.
Director/producer
Mel Gibson
was investigated by the RSPCA, who were convinced that the fake horses used were real. Only when one of his assistants provided some videotaped footage of the location shooting were they convinced otherwise.
c.
While
William Powell
,
Myrna Loy
,
Minna Gombell
,
Porter Hall
, and
William Henry
recreated their roles in the June 8, 1936 Lux Radio Theater broadcast,
Thomas Jackson
was promoted from an uncredited bit as a reporter to the major supporting role of Lt. Guild. Even though
Cecil B. DeMille
had begun his 9 year run as Lux Theater host on June 1, only one week before, he was missing from this broadcast. Taking his place was
The Thin Man
s director
W.S. Van Dyke
. Legendary silent star
Theda Bara
made an appearance and reminisced with him about silent film acting and the research she had to do to play Cleopatra in 1917. The washed-up Bara, who hadnt made a film in years, talked about making a comeback in films and seemed to be channeling the Norma Desmond character from
Sunset Blvd.
. One wonders if either
Billy Wilder
or
Charles Brackett
was listening that night. Baras unusual appearance suggests that Van Dyke was doing it as a favor to
Charles Brabin
, Baras husband, who was a director colleague of his at MGM and whose career was ostensibly over too.
d.
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on December 14, 1942 with
Charles Boyer
and
Gene Lockhart
reprising their film roles.
