2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The Thorn (1974)?
a.		Christopher Knights part was severely shortened, originally running four minutes.
b.		As is shown in the movie, Marie Antoinette was not allowed to keep her pug, Mops, when she entered France. However, later on Count Mercy arranged for the pug to be sent to her after her marriage.
c.		Filmed in 1971 before Bette Midlers career as The Divine Miss M took off, this is an underground religious satire originally titled "The Greatest Story Overtold". Unreleased for several years, it finally had a brief theatrical run in New York City in 1974 under a new title "The Divine Mr. J" (Mr. J supposedly referring to Jesus), suggesting that the now famous Midler, who had a minor role as The Virgin Mary, was the star. Following legal threats from Midlers camp and horrific reviews, the movie quickly disappeared, but briefly turned up on home video in early Eighties (only to quickly disappear once more, again amidst legal threats) under new title The Thorn, in an attempt to cash in on Midlers mainstream hit The Rose.
d.		M. Night Shyamalan insisted that the film posters be released without showing Mel Gibsons face, as it is an ensemble piece, and that it didnt refer to The Sixth Sense, as its an entirely different movie.
