Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The intro of this film begins with the silhouettes of a group of boys harmonizing and a bridge, at sunset. What is the name of the bridge that is pictured?

Answer: Verrazano Narrows Bridge

Doo-Wop was, and still is, a favorite time in the history of music. During the 1950s, teenage doo-woop groups would gather on street corners and in front of candy stores to sing and harmonize. During the 1960s, they relocated to under the highways or bridges for the echo quality of the location to try to enhance their sound.
2. Where is Vinny's youngest child, Tina, at the beginning of this film?

Answer: In Bay Ridge Hospital

Tina is very sick with a serious blood disease. Vinny had lost his wife from ovarian cancer two years after Tina was born, and now he finds himself back in the very same hospital, filled with anguish and worry for his youngest child.
3. Joanne, Tina's nurse, noticed her wearing earrings. Tina wore a baseball cap to cover her baldness during her treatment but wore the earrings anyway. What was Joanne's comment on seeing this wonderfully brave child wearing the earrings?

Answer: "I like them trashy/tasteful".

As Vinny Perilli watched Joanne the nurse, fawn over his beloved daughter, he began to realize what an attractive and compassionate woman she was, and he was very grateful for her affection toward Tina. When he ran into her while leaving the hospital, she offered to give him a ride to his musician's job and he decided to ask her to dinner and took her number.
4. Besides playing keyboard in a band, what was Vinny's other job?

Answer: a bartender in a restaurant

One of his former group members owned the restaurant. He called Joanne from there to ask her out for the following Saturday night, for dinner. She accepted.
5. When Anthony and his dad were on the pier, he asked Vinny to give him the name of a singing group that rhymed with the word "swell". What group did Vinny name?

Answer: The Dells

Anthony was writing a song. He was looking to write something special that fit into the years when his dad and the Dreamers were Number One on the charts. He was having trouble with what he called "a hook" a key phrase that could possibly be used both in the chorus and the title.
6. Later in the evening, Joanne and Vinny went to see Anthony perform at Wetlands, a club in NYC. Anthony surprised his father by singing one of the Dreamers' greatest hits. What was the name of the song?

Answer: This I Swear

As Vinny watched his son, Anthony, sing his old signature song from his time with The Dreamers, his heart swelled and broke at the same time. His other son Tommy, who was a police officer, and his wife were also there. Joanne sensed his warring pride and discomfort. Later, during breakfast at a diner, Joanne tried to engage him in conversation about it, but he abruptly cut off the subject.

Then Vic and his date came in the diner and joined them at their table. When Vic made it known that he was one of the Dreamers, he pushed an uncomfortable Vinny into singing, right there at the table.
7. How old was Vinny Perilli going to be on April 18th?

Answer: 50

Vinny and Vic were the only members of the group who still worked in the music industry. Playing in a "wedding" band. Vic was always pushing for them to do Dreamers' songs but Vinny felt the Dreamers were dead and gone. He wouldn't budge on it. The evening of Vinny's birthday, they were doing a wedding at a catering hall, and at the finish of the job Vinny and Vic went their separate ways.

Answer: Gloria DiBennedetto

On their first date, when Joanne asked Vinny who he had written "Your Way" for, he named the woman he had married.
9. What happened on the night of his birthday, when Vinny arrived at the place where he worked evenings as a bartender, ?

Answer: a surprise birthday party was waiting for him

He was stunned when everyone came out and shouted "Surprise"! Joanne had arranged everything. Then, to the strains of doo-wop, all the original members of the Dreamers came out. They partied and sang and finally got Vinny to lead a song.
10. When Vinny first met Joanne's daughter Nicki, she was listening to music. What was the name of the group she was listening to?

Answer: Butt Crack Highway

Vinny realized he knew nothing about the music of today, nor did he want to. When Joanne came out, looking beautiful, he realized he could finally get close to someone.
11. When Vinny pulled up to pick up Joanne, he spoke to the doorman at the front of the building where she lived. What was the name of the building?

Answer: The Joan

They went to dinner at The River's Edge and then to see Tony sing in the city. When Vinny took her home, he knew he would be seeing a lot of her in the future.
12. When Vinny got the emergency call from the hospital, he had just stepped out of the shower. He rushed to the hospital to find out that Tina had 104 fever and pnemounia. Joanne and the rest of his immediate family were already there. He was shocked and saddened that Joanne did not inform him immediately. She explained that this was not the kind of message one should leave on a machine. What was the name of the doctor who came forward and said that immediate surgery had to be done to find out what strain of virus that Tina had.

Answer: Ludwig

Vinny was terrified. He had waited in these same halls when his wife was dying and now he feared that he would lose his baby, Tina.
13. After the surgery the doctor was pleased to tell the family that he had an antibiotic that would help Tina. With relief, Vinny headed to his bartending job. His old friends surprised him, once he arrrived. Boots had arranged for them to go on a short trip to get Vinny's mind off Tina for awhile. Where did Boots arrange for them to go?

Answer: Atlantic City

Vinny was hesitant because Tina just had that crisis, but Boots assured him that the hospital had his cell number and that if there was an emergency, a helicopter would be waiting.
14. What hotel did they visit in Atlantic City?

Answer: Taj Mahal

The guys were together again. Vic was a gambler, much to Vinny's dismay. Typically, he asked to borrow money. Vic said it was to get his Rolex out of the pawn shop. Boots voluntered to give him the money, but Vinny stopped him. Vinny gave the money to Vic and he stated that is was for the watch, not for gambling.
15. While Vinny rode the bus, there was an old man singing one of their songs out loud. What was the name of the song that reached into his very soul and made him realize that no one forgot?

Answer: Listen To The Wisdom Of A Fool

Vinny and Vic got into an argument that night and it seemed to be over the money. The other guys broke it up. They were amazed at these childhood friends suddenly erupting into such a rage. But when Vinny calmed down he approached Vic and asked what was really eating at him. Vic sadly told Vinny that when he quit the Dreamers, he felt as if Vinny robbed him. Vic confessed that when he stood on stage with them was the only time that he felt like someone.
