Random Harvest Trivia Questions
1. What was the tagline for the movie?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

Answer: He had found love, lost it, and now had found it again.

The film centres around amnesia. A British Army officer loses his memory, meets a singer, falls in love, regains his old memories but forgets his recent life and his love. I won't tell you any more, but the end is worth waiting for.

2. What year was the film first released?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

Answer: 1942

It was directed by Mervyn Leroy and starred Ronald Coleman and Greer Garson.

3. The officer tagged along with Paula as she went to work. What was her occupation?

From Quiz "Random Harvest "- The Movie

Answer: Cabaret singer and dancer

Greer Garson is not usually thought of as a musical star, but her song and dance number in this film is and was, highly thought of - a truly professional presentation. Many still consider her a strictly dramatic actress, but this role shows a wider range.

4. Who is the film's male star?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

Answer: Ronald Coleman

Coleman was born in 1891 and was over 50 when he took this role. It did not stop him playing a convincing romantic lead. Although he was successful in silent movies it wasn't until sound came along that he really came into his own. He was nominated for Oscars in 1929, 1942 (for 'Random Harvest') and finally won in 1947 for 'Double Life'.

5. While Smithy watched Paula, his new friend, work, he fainted. Why?

From Quiz "Random Harvest "- The Movie

Answer: Flu

At the end of W.W.I a horrible strain of influenza, called Spanish Flu, struck the world. Between 20 and 40 million died, worldwide. Although Smithy had flu I think it was a different kind, because he recovered quickly with seemingly no ill effects- or maybe it was included to point out the fact that flu was prevalent during this time.

6. Who was the female lead?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

Answer: Greer Garson

Garson was born in 1904 and her debut role was as Katherine Chipping in 'Goodbye Mr Chips'. She won a Best Actress Oscar for Mrs Miniver in 1942 and this was probably her most famous role. Apparently, she is Robert Redford's favourite actress.

7. Charles Ranier (the male lead role) loses his memory. What does he come to be known as?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

Answer: John Smith

Paula takes him under her wing and always uses the name 'Smithy' as a term of endearment.

8. Smithy became a writer and was invited to apply for a job on a paper. To what city did he go to apply for the job?

From Quiz "Random Harvest "- The Movie

Answer: Liverpool

Liverpool, a city in the west of England, would be the perfect choice for Paula and Smithy. A large city where he could make a comfortable living, it was close to the area where they had settled and loved so much. It appeared to be close enough to commute by train.

9. Paula Ridgeway meets Charles after he has lost his memory. What is her profession?

From Quiz The Movie 'Random Harvest'

She meets Smithy after finishing a performance. She saves him from having to go back to an asylum.

From Quiz "Random Harvest "- The Movie

Answer: He was struck by a car.
