Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Oh What A Beautiful Mornin'"

Answer: Oklahoma!

Released in 1955, "Oklahoma!" was based on a stage musical.
This was the story of a young man and woman who were attracted to each other, but there was a catch: another man had notions of the fair lady.
And mixed up with this, one of the woman's friends had cast eyes at a roving peddler while her boyfriend was away. The peddler was a 'no good'; but would she see it and settle for the safe alternative, the beau she already had?
The movie has had some mixed reviews over the years. Some critics found it mawkish: others writing 60 years later said it was as good today as it was when it was released.
"Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin'" was the opening song - and probably one of the best known. It was sung by Gordon MacRae.
2. "Edelweiss"

Answer: The Sound of Music

"The Sound of Music" was released in 1965 and unless you are really lucky, you will not have missed it on a TV channel somewhere some Christmas.
It was based on a 1959 musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein
Their story was based, somewhat loosely, on the true story of the Austrian Von Trapp family. The head of the family, Captain Georg von Trapp, had served in the Austrian navy in World War 1.
He was, however, opposed to Nazism and decided to move with his children, who at the time were a singing group, to the USA. He had previously married Maria, who had arrived to be governess in 1927 after the death of his first wife. Von Trapp had ten children, three of them with Maria.
The family eventually settled in Vermont.
The movie dramatised events, and fictionalised many details. It won five Academy Awards.
In the movie, "Edelweiss" was sung by the captain, Maria and the children.
3. "The Pusher"

Answer: Easy Rider

Released in 1969, "Easy Rider" starred Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper as two motorcyclists travelling across the USA after selling cocaine they had smuggled in from Mexico.
On their road trip, they encountered many of the social and political realities of an America riven by racial discrimination and soul-searching over an unpopular war in Vietnam.
On a personal note, they found that their freewheeling attitude did not go down too well with some of those they met - people who did not have the freedom to up sticks and travel aimlessly.
"The Pusher" was written by Hoyt Axton, although it was a version by Steppenwolf that was used in the move.
4. "As Time Goes By"

Answer: Casablanca

Released in 1942, "Casablanca" was a love story set in World War 2.

Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif starred as the main protagonists.

7. "(I've Had) The Time of My Life"

Answer: Dirty Dancing

It stared Jennifer Grey as a rich, spoiled young woman who fell for a dance instructor from a working class background, Patrick Swayze.

Grey's involvement did not go down well with her rich family, but they became reconciled after seeing them dance.
"(I've Had) The Time of My Life" was written by Franke Previte, John DeNicola, and Donald Markowitz and sung by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.

8. "All That Jazz"

Answer: Chicago

"Summer Nights" was written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey and was sung by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John in the film. It became a chart hit.
10. "I Will Always Love You"

Answer: The Bodyguard

Released in 1992, "The Bodyguard" starred Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston.
Costner was an ex-Treasury agent hired to protect Houston, a music star, from a stalker.
Of course they fell in love, but the stalker had turned violent, killing Houston's sister. He was pursued by Costner, but escaped. Would he, though, try again to kill his main target...?
