Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Harry el sucio' is an almost direct translation for which Clint Eastwood movie?

Answer: Dirty Harry

An almost direct translation in this case, which is somewhat unusual.
Eastwood's first appearance as cop Harry Callahan.
2. 'Tu y Yo' is which romantic movie?

Answer: An Affair To Remember

Ok, this could have fit any of the choices. 'An Affair to Remember' was once shown here directly following 'Sleepless In Seattle', in which 'Affair...' is featured.
3. 'The Sound of Music' is shown under which title? (Be careful)

Answer: Sonrisas y Lagrimas

No literal translation this time, but tuning in to 'Smiles and Tears' will bring you Julie Andrews, Chris Plummer and the kids.
4. If you tune in to 'El Mejor', what film will you expect to see?

Answer: The Natural

Literally 'The Best'. 'Citizen Kane' is shown as 'Ciudadano Kane', a literal translation.
5. 'De Ratones y Hombres' should not be difficult for Spanish speakers.

Answer: Of Mice and Men

A direct translation - ratones are mice. Rats are ratas.
6. 'Corazones de hierro' is which of these films when shown in Spain?

Answer: Casualties of War

This translates as 'Hearts of Iron', which is a pretty fair description of Sean Penn and his buddies in this one.
7. Choosing 'Encuentro en Paris' will bring this fairly forgettable film to your screen.

Answer: Paris-When It Sizzles

Good cast (William Holden, Audrey Hepburn, Noel Coward), boring plot. Did not bother to stay with it till the end. Hope you all left 'Rome Adventure' alone, even here they don't change the title quite that much.
8. 'Eva al desnudo' is which of these films?

Answer: All About Eve

This translates approximately as 'Eve The Naked One' or 'Eve In the Nude'.
9. Which Marlon Brando film will you watch if you tune in to 'La jauria humana'?

Answer: The Chase

'Jauria' is a pack of hounds. This is a lesser known Brando film from 1966. Brando plays a small town sheriff trying to recapture prison escapee Robert Redford before the 'human pack' of townspeople lynches him. Jane Fonda is also in it.
10. Which film is seen in Spain as 'Cartas a Iris'?

Answer: Stanley and Iris

Literally 'Letters to Iris'. Jane Fonda (again) as Iris who teaches Stanley (Robert De Niro) to read and write.
