1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Topsy and Eva (1927)?
a.		3 apparent B-roll shots of the supporting characters in a ballroom full of dancers were actually created using visual effects. When the Line Producer asked the Director the minimum number of extras needed for these shots during principal photography, the Director requested 50 extras. When only 7 extras showed up on the ballroom shoot days, an alternate solution became necessary. The Visual Effects Supervisor found takes which included empty sections of the ballroom. Taking several high resolution stills from those takes, he created 3 background plates. During a day of additional photography, both the supporting characters who would appear in the foreground and pairs of dancers who would appear in the middle ground were shot against a greenscreen. The Visual Effects Supervisor then composited up to a dozen elements to create shots which appear to contain the bride, her bridesmaids and the young man and young woman characters in the midst of a ballroom full of dancing couples.
b.		Debra Winger actually left the powerful CAA agency over this film. She felt that since all the major cast and crew members were with CAA at the time, they did not hire the best people, they hired only clients who could get the film made.
c.		Lois Weber refused the opportunity to direct this film because she felt the material was racially insensitive.
d.		In an early scene, Eddie Cicotte (David Strathairn) walks by a Chicago storefront with the name Oppenheimers in the window. In the movie Day One, Strathairn plays Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer, leader of the Manhattan Project, the program that eventually developed the atomic bomb.
