Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Vowels have been removed from this actor's name below. MCHLCN Which film did he star in?

Answer: Zulu

"Zulu" was a true story that rocketed Michael Caine to stardom in 1964. The British army had just lost a huge battle against the Zulus at Isandlhwana, South Africa, in 1879. Something like four thousand Zulus then marched against a small missionary outpost at Rorke's Drift where around 150 Welsh infantrymen were stationed, many of them in hospital.

A young Lieutenant, Gonville Bromhead (played by Michael), who was inexperienced in battle, found himself in command of the British soldiers. The Zulus attacked the outpost several times but the defences held.

The battle went into a second day until it grew quiet around 2a.m. The defenders were exhausted and running out of ammunition when the Zulus returned shortly after dawn. Instead of attacking, they saluted the defenders and left the battleground. Eleven Victoria Crosses, (the highest award that can be awarded in the British army), were won that day.
2. Letters from the first half of the alphabet have been removed from this actor's name below. UPRYORT Which film did he star in?

Answer: The Maltese Falcon

Sam Spade (played by Humphrey Bogart}, is one half of a detective agency called Spade and Archer. One day, a beautiful woman, called Miss Wonderly comes to their office and by the evening, Sam's partner Miles is dead and also two other dangerous men.

It seems clear that Miss Wonderly needs protection which Sam agrees to provide. Several murders follow and they are all down to the hunt for a statuette of a bird. Warner Brothers were delighted at the success of "The Maltese Falcon" and wanted to make a sequel but Dashiell Hammett who wrote the novel of the same name advised Warner Brothers that while they had purchased the rights to that story, they had not bought the rights to the character of Sam and he was not giving them permission to use him in the new film. "Three Strangers" was eventually made using different characters.
