1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Tillie and Gus (1933)?
a.
Before the steamboat race, one of the boats used in the filming began to sink. The crew frantically tried to bail, but water was coming in as fast as they could bail it out. The fire department was called, and set their pumps to work until 1 AM, to no avail; the water was still rushing in. Director
Francis Martin
called the man who built the boat, who stated that it could not spring a leak. Martin ordered the man to come down to the set and see for himself. Seeing the boat list to one side, the builder repeated that it could not spring a leak. The following conversation is reported to have taken place, at that point: Francis Martin: "All I know is weve been pumping water out of her hold for nine hours and it comes in as fast as we pump it out." Builder: "She aint got a hold." Francis Martin: "I dont care what the technical term is, all I know is weve been pumping water out of her interior for nine hours." Builder: "She aint got an interior any more than a raft. Shes flat on the bottom, sitting on drums. Youve got all that heavy stuff on one side and thats what makes it lean over. Youve been bailing Malibu Lake into Malibu Lake for nine hours."
b.
Kirsten Dunst
was the first actor cast in the movie.
c.
Eddie Albert
, who played Colonel Thompson, was a World War II veteran. However, Albert actually served in the Pacific, not in Europe.
d.
Screenwriters
Michael Wilson
and
Carl Foreman
were on the blacklist of people with accused Communist ties at the time the film was made, and went uncredited. The sole writing credit, and therefore the Oscar for best adapted screenplay, went to
Pierre Boulle
, who wrote the original French novel but did not speak English. Clearly Pierre had not written the English script and this became a long-running controversy between the Academy and the actual authors to achieve recognition for their work. In 1984 the Academy retrospectively awarded the Oscar to Wilson and Foreman. Sadly Wilson did not live to see this; Foreman died the day after it was announced. When the film was restored, their names were added to the credits.
