Answer: 1968

The year 1968 is the right answer. I am not big on date questions, but this movie is a classic. For this movie to be from 1968 is shocking! It was scary. Seems that modern-day movies, even thrillers, have a happy ending. I mean, someone lives. With this movie, it was shown at a time when thrillers could be at a matinee and was before the rating system. Young kids could attend. No one survived this flick. *shudder*

Answer: Rembrandt

Rembrandt van Rijn, born in what is now known as Netherlands, was the artist of "The Night Watch". It was an oil painting on canvas. It was also known as "The Shooting Company of Frans Banning Cocq". An interesting note, this painting has had three acts of vandalism.

The first was in 1911 when it was slashed with a shoemaker's knife. The second was in 1975 when someone slashed it with a bread knife. The third time acid was sprayed on the painting.
