Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970)?
a.
Michael Mann
: [repeated line] The phrase Time is Luck is used by McCauley when talking to Eady about their relationship and having time for them. (It is also used in

The "Vesper" martini drink is described as being three measures (9 ounces) of gin (Gordons was Bonds choice), one measure (3 ounces) of vodka (Bond preferred a grain vodka be used; e.g. Absolut) and half a measure (1.5 ounces) of Kina Lillet. The ingredients are shaken over ice until cold, served in a cocktail glass with a slice of lemon peel for garnish. Kina Lillet has not been made since 1985 and the modern substitute would be Lillet Blanc, made by the same company, Lillet, based in Podensac, France. This also creates somewhat of an anachronism as this movie is clearly set in the present, where Kina Lillet would no longer be available.
