Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Val Waxman is a director who has seen better years. Who plays the character of Val?

Answer: Woody Allen

Woody Allen is Val Waxman, a waning director who is plagued with psychological problems. Even though he has won two Oscars, he is struggling to salvage his career.

2. In which country do we see Val shooting a deodorant commercial, in the midst of a blizzard?

Answer: Canada

Val has not directed a successful picture in several years. He is relegated to directing obscure commercials and relatively insignificant jobs. He is having a miserable time in Canada. He says, "They got moose up here. Moose. Are moose carnivorous?" He is fired from the job after only one day.

3. Ellie (Tea Leoni) advocates for Val, nominating him to direct the latest film project by the studio that she works for. What is the name of the film?

Answer: The City That Never Sleeps

Val receives a script for "The City That Never Sleeps". He is very excited about the prospect of directing a film about New York. The drawback is that he will be obligated to work with his ex-wife and the man that she left him for. You may recognize the other fictional movie titles from "Seinfeld".

4. What is the name of the studio that Ellie works for?

Answer: Galaxie Studios

Ellie is engaged to Hal (Treat Williams) and has convinced Hal to hire Val to direct their new film project. Val is initially reluctant to take on the project because Ellie is Val's ex-wife and she left Val for Hal.

5. Ellie's influence has landed Val the job as director. Val has a free reign to hire his own staff for the film. He hires a foreign cameraman to shoot the picture. Where is the cameraman from?

Answer: China

Val has chosen a cameraman from China named Kow Chan. Kow Chan doesn't speak a word of English and he requires a translator. The cameraman is described as having done, "some real stunning work .. mostly with the Red Army."

6. Val is just about to start shooting the film when he is afflicted with a debilitating illness. What happens to him?

Answer: blindness

Suddenly unable to see, Val summons his agent, who makes an appointment for him with his physician. The physician finds that there is no underlying physical illness and it's his opinion that the blindness is a psychosomatic illness brought on by the stress of directing.

7. It's vital that Val keep his illness a secret as he would most certainly be fired if discovered. Who is enlisted to act as his aid during the filming?

Answer: translator

Val's agent initially acts as his assistant until he is informed that he can no longer be on the set. Someone that is actively participating in shooting the film must act as Val's assistant. The translator is selected to work with Val since his future in the film industry will not be in jeopardy if their secret is revealed.

8. Hal Yeager has promised that he would leave the directing to Val and not view the dailies. Does he break his promise?

Answer: Yes

Hal, being the quintessential businessman, cannot subdue his curiosity and views the dailies in secret. Ellie says the dailies are, "just a bunch of bits and pieces out of sequence." Hal confesses that he has seen them and that he is very disappointed in what he has seen.

9. Val wants to reconcile with his estranged son, Tony. Tony has adopted a somewhat radical lifestyle and has changed his name. What is Tony's new name?

Answer: Scumbag X

Tony is the lead persona in a heavy metal band. He eats rats on stage. He has changed his name from Tony Waxman to Scumbag X. Val says, "Oh, that's nice. It's much better than Tony Waxman. I love you, Scumbag."

Answer: France

While Val is lamenting his poor reviews, Al greets Val with tremendous news. The French have viewed the film in Paris and they say that it's the greatest American film in fifty years. Val is offered a film project in Paris. Val's career is salvaged. Val says, "Oh, thank God the French exist."
