About the movie: When paroled trustee Steve and former inmate Judy who try to put their criminal lives behind them are blackmailed, two career criminals come to their rescue.

1.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Up the River (1930)?
a.		An article in the 7 November 1966 issue of Boxoffice reported that four featurettes were made to promote the movie: "He Must Find There Nothing", in a 20-minute and a 10-minute version, a making of the production and how locations had to be modified to reflect the 1944 period; "Reality Must Not Be Left to Chance", 10-minute short behind the scenes; and a fourth featurette about composer Maurice Jarre.
b.		This movies soundtrack features the song "I Found a Million Dollar Baby (in a Five and Ten Cent Store)" on its soundtrack. Clint Eastwood, about twenty years later, made an Academy Award winning movie called Million Dollar Baby which incidentally didnt feature this song, as the score was solely composed by Eastwood. The "Million Dollar Baby" song was composed by Harry Warren with lyrics by Mort Dixon and Billy Rose. The song is heard in this film sung by Al Jarreau.
c.		Natalie Wood worked as an assistant behind the scenes of this movie. She typed script revisions, shopped for wardrobe and props, and also appeared, well-disguised, as an extra in some crowd scenes.
d.		Broadway producer Herman Shumlin granted Spencer Tracy 2-weeks leave from his hit drama, _The Last Mile (1930)_ after the actor appealed to him for the opportunity to work for John Ford in Fox Films Up the River.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Up the River (1930)?
a.		The music near the very end of the movie during the funeral eulogy is "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve.
b.		In the trailer, Mary Wickes is seen as Stella in a separately filmed sequence, in which she talks to the audience about the film.
c.		For the scene where Dr. Stoner first injects David, Strother Martin actually makes a real hypodermic puncture on Dirk Benedicts arm with the needle.
d.		This is the first John Ford film in which Spencer Tracy appeared: their second collaboration took place three decades later, when Tracy starred in Fords The Last Hurrah. It is strange to realize that these two great Irish American icons only collaborated two times (Tracy narrated How the West Was Won, one of the sequences of which was shot by Ford, but that doesnt count as a true collaboration), but for most of their careers, they were bound to different studios, Ford to 20th Century-Fox and Tracy to M.G.M. By the time the freelance era rolled around in the late 1950s, Tracy was appearing in very few movies.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Up the River (1930)?
a.		Spencer Tracy received a 2-week leave of absence from a hit Broadway show in order to appear in this film. This required the film to be shot under a very tight production schedule.
b.		The tank seen at the start of the picture was an actual American army tank but not authentically a British one. It was loaned to the production by a neighboring American army base. The production had attempted to get a real British tank but had had their request knocked backed.
c.		Lux Radio Theatre version starring Zasu Pitts aired June, 1936.
d.		In the psychedelic nightclub sequence, the band seen performing on the stage is The Litter, a Minneapolis-based group. However, in the original release version, their music is not heard; instead, we hear a piece by Frank Zappas Mothers of Invention.

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Up the River (1930)?
a.		This is the only movie in which Humphrey Bogart and Spencer Tracy co-star. Although Tracy and Bogart were good friends, they never appeared in another movie together, as Bogart was tied to a contract with Warner Bros. for much of his career while Tracy was bound first to Fox, and then (most famously) to MGM. When the freelance era rolled around in the 1950s and both were free of their studio contracts, the two talked about co-starring together in a picture, but according to Tracys lover Katharine Hepburn, they could never agree on who would get top billing (although Tracy was the more respected thespian, Bogart was more popular at the box office; however, after playing second-fiddle to Clark Gable for many years at MGM, Tracy wasnt about to accept second billing at that time in his career). Hepburn recalled they considered a suggested compromise that would have created an "X"-shaped credit in which Humphrey Tracy would have co-starred with Spencer Bogart, when read normally.
b.		Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names, if any): Hank Mann (Watchman), Martin Faust (Hoodlum), Frank Bruno (Hoodlum), Ernie Adams, Frank Marlowe, Ray Cooke and Nick Copeland.
c.		In the DVD commentary, Carrie Fisher shares that she and a friend of hers read the script out loud....and both, in fact, wanted to play Han Solo! That, of course, was impossible since Han is a male character. But that didnt stop Carrie! As she puts it, the one character she COULD play was Princess Leia....and the rest, of course, is history!
d.		Bryce Dallas Howard was offered the role of Victoria but turned it down as she found the role too small. She later took the role when Summit Entertainment fired Rachelle Lefevre from Eclipse.

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Up the River (1930)?
a.		According to the book "The Catskills Alive" by Francine Silverman, Jackie Horner was the prototype for the Penny Johnson character.
b.		The first time director Martin Campbell has ever filmed anything in his home country of New Zealand.
c.		Mickey Rooney is usually thought to have been eleven when he made this film. He was actually 14 during filming.
d.		The first of Humphrey Bogarts feature-length films to be released, on October 12, 1930. His second, "A Devil with Women", was released six days later, on October 18.
