Their locations and chapters titles are; A: chapter 5, "Charlotte", page 37, line 24. 2nd, 3rd and 4th are in chapter 11, "The Miracle" page 77, line 5. C: page 77, line 19. D: page 83, lines 9 & 10.

("Charlottes old web" is on page 176, line 25, almost making it 11 times.)
b.		Although the AFI Catalogue specifies the world premiere was in Hollywood (at Graumans Chinese Theater) on 13 November 1931, the New York Times review of 10 November 1931 says "last night it succeeded in stirring the emotions of an audience in the Astor..." Since the review concludes that the film is AT THE ASTOR, it seems likely that it was ready for public viewing immediately. The AFI Catalogue world premiere statement is probably wrong, and that it was just a Hollywood premiere.
c.		Virginia Daviss final feature film.
d.		Jeremy, played by Emilio Estevez, is a post-traumatic war veteran from Vietnam. Estevez first ever acting credit was as a messenger boy in his fathers Vietnam war film Apocalypse Now (the scene was cut from the film).

a.		Prof. Len Adleman is one of the three mathematicians who invented the RSA (hes the "A") cryptosystem, currently the preeminent method of encrypting any form of data in the world. Adleman served as a mathematical consultant on the film, and spent several days constructing the slides Janek displays at the college symposium on "unbreakable codes" (which took Adleman a considerable amount of time to create using primitive early-90s computer graphics technology). In the end, director Phil Alden Robinson had the slides transposed as oil crayon scribbles, on account of the notion that "thats what a regular mathematician would have done". Adleman later remarked that this was indeed true and what he would have done, and would have saved him days if only hed known.
b.		Original director was Alex Segal, who withdrew shortly before production began.
c.		In one scene, the camera slowly heads towards the dinner table.

This position of the family and the shot is lifted from another family drama film Ordinary People.

If you look closely, you can see that he was standing in front of a "Home Sweet Home" sign when he heads out of the house.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: The War at Home (1996)?
a.		Film debut of Willie Nelson.
b.		Tuan Tran plays the Viet Cong soldier that Jeremy is forced to execute in Vietnam. Trans first credited role was that of another Viet Cong soldier in Heaven & Earth.
c.		The Baruna Bridge location was the strikingly beautiful Soca river in the Slovenian mountains. After 9 months of negotiating red tape, the production were allowed to temporarily divert the flow of the river whilst they built the bridge. The authorities had already been considering this themselves due a landslide the previous year, which had harmed the flow. Once it had been completed the river was rerouted back to its original flow. 100 trees had been specially planted to tie in with the description of the location in the book.
d.		During the hurricane sequence, there is a scene that pays homage to Buster Keatons childhood on the vaudeville stage. One brief moment has a table move in the wind, apparently animating the dummy and turning its head to face Keaton. Keaton is startled and runs. This is based on a real experience from when he was a kid and became fascinated with a dummy named Red Top, who belonged to ventriloquist Trovollo. The young Keaton had a "conversation" with the dummy and conspired to kidnap his new friend one night when the theater was empty. Trovollo, anticipating Keaton, slipped to his props offstage and when Keaton approached, brought Red Top to life, scaring Keaton out of the theater.
