Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Sitting on my window ledge is Clint Eastwood's only musical, set during the gold rush. When he falls in love, Clint sings "I Talk To The Trees". What is this DVD?
2. Another film on the ledge is a modern musical. All of the songs were taken from the catalogue of one 1970's Super Group. The songs are all sung in the film by actors who are not known for their singing. It was a stage show first. What is this DVD?
3. The next musical on my ledge is from 1958. A MGM musical, the title was not capitalized to emphasise the diminutive stature of the film's title character. What is this family DVD?
4. An even older musical, this one from 1948 comes next on my ledge. MGM brought together Gene Kelly and Judy Garland and they performed the unforgettable Cole Porter song, "Be A Clown". The slightly complicated plot-line put many off. Which DVD with a nautical title, but set on dry land, is this?
5. Next is a musical based on a Neil Simon Broadway hit. The film stars Shirley MacLaine with an all star supporting cast, including Sammy Davis Jr and Ricardo Montalban. Which DVD is this?
6. An Oscar winning performance by Yul Brynner is, for me, the highlight of this next musical, one in which Marni Nixon supplied her voice, but not her face. It is based on a true story of a woman of British descent who lived 1831 - 1915. Which DVD is this?
7. Next comes the musical based on a book by James A. Michener and set during WW2. The use of coloured filters warns that a song is on the way, but you can forgive that minor aberration in this otherwise faultless film, set in an exotic location. What DVD is this?
8. A biographical drama film comes next. This musical focusses on the early troubled years of a famous Country singer. It is full of songs sung by the two stars. Which Oscar winning DVD is this?
9. Next in line is a 2004 film, the adaptation of a musical of the same name, which in turn was based on a French novel. The stage show is a massive hit around the world and has broken the record for the longest-running show on Broadway. What is this DVD?
10. Last, but by no means least, a film that has gone around the world since the release in 1965. This is another musical based upon a true story, though somewhat altered, but still set in Austria. Which much loved musical is this?
