2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Undertow (2004)?
a.
Star Trek
creator
Gene Roddenberry
has been quoted as saying that this film was a major inspiration for the series. Perhaps not accidentally,
Warren Stevens
, who plays "Doc" here, would later be a guest star in 1968s
By Any Other Name
, where the true shape of the alien Kelvans, like the Krell in this movie, was implied to be extremely non-humanoid but never shown.
b.
The United Artists logo seen in the opening credits of the film was from the companys archives. All the films released under United Artists at the time of Undertows release had a different logo. As a child, director Green always saw that logo and was unsettled by it, and for that reason, he used it in the film.
c.
After director
King Vidor
complained to MGM production chief
Irving Thalberg
that he was tired of shooting pictures that played in theaters for just one week, he told Thalberg about a new kind of realistic war movie he had envisioned. Thalberg was enthusiastic about Vidors vision, and tried to buy the rights to the hit Broadway play "What Price Glory?" co-written by
Maxwell Anderson
and World War I Marine veteran
Laurence Stallings
. Since the rights to the popular anti-war play had already been acquired, Thalberg hired Stallings to come to Hollywood and write a screenplay for the new, realistic war picture that Vidor had dreamed about making. Stallings came up with "The Big Parade", an anti-war story that dispensed with traditional concepts of heroism, focusing instead on a love story between a Yank soldier and a French girl. After Vidor completed principal photography (at a cost of $200,000, approximately $2.1 million in 2003 dollars), Thalberg took the rough cut and previewed it before live audiences in Colorado. The audiences responded favorably, and Thalberg decided to expand the scope of the picture, as Vidor had created a war picture without many scenes of war. He had Vidor restage the famous marching army column sequence with 3000 extras, 200 trucks and 100 airplanes. After Vidor moved on to another project, Thalberg had other battle scenes shot by director
George W. Hill
. The result was a major hit that proved to be MGMs most profitable silent picture.
