From Quiz CODA

Answer: It is an acronym describing a child of deaf adults

The film "CODA" focuses mainly on the Rossi family, with four people: the parents and two children, one of whom is the CODA (child of deaf adults), the only hearing family member; the parents and the other child are deaf. The word coda or CODA is an acronym, which refers to children of deaf adults. It specifically refers to a person who has deaf parents or guardians. The word "child" does not necessarily mean "young" but it does indicate a family relationship. CODA is pronounced as a word and not as individual letters and is used as a noun, referring to a person.

Ruby, Frank and Leo Rossi work aboard the ship 'Angela Rose' trying to catch haddock to sell to a local fishing company. As they work the nets and separate the fish from the trash Ruby sings loudly. Their work is difficult and the small amount they receive prompts Leo to tell his father that they should sell directly to customers but he initially rejects the idea. Since Ruby works on the fishing boat early she does not get to change or shower before going to school prompting both another classmate and her mother to tell her that she stinks like fish.

From Quiz A Countess from Hong Kong

Answer: Ship's steward

The size of his role can be judged by the fact that he is the last performer listed in the cast list at imdb - he makes two brief appearances as an elderly, slightly seasick, steward. This lack of acting involvement allowed him to focus on the directorial demands of the film, which some feel were poorly done (calling it outdated and stilted), while others praise the simplicity, and consider it an artistic choice. You can decide for yourself.

From Quiz A Countess from Hong Kong

Answer: Sophia Loren

The first script for the film that eventually became 'A Countess from Hong Kong' was called 'Stowaway', and was written in the 1930s with Paulette Goddard, a regular Chaplin leading lady (and his wife from 1936 until 1942), intended to play the Countess, with Chaplin himself as the male lead. It was nearly 30 years later that the film finally reached the screen, with Sophia Loren in the title role. The movie was initially a financial failure, recovering only about half of its cost in the American market, but overseas revenue and the substantial amount earned by the score pushed it into profit. Those who haven't seen the movie may still be familiar with its theme, which became a hit for Petula Clarke as 'This is My Song'. The version finally used in the film did not include the lyrics, just the music.
