From Quiz The Whole World Loves Tom Jones

Answer: Silent film

"Tom Jones" would adopt a number of comic styles to deliver its message, including having the actors break the "fourth wall" and address the audience directly. Whilst the use of silent film techniques in contemporary films is not new nor unique it doesn't always work. Here, its use is most effective on a number of levels: - It allows the writers to capture the dumping of the baby Tom, the dismissal of the suspected mother and the adoption of the baby by Squire Allworthy in a brief space of time. - It provides an avenue to the director to convey a sense of levity to the audience over a scene that could easily have been too serious or, Heaven forbid, maudlin. - It lets the film literally scream at its audience "prepare yourself to be seriously entertained". Apart from turning the opening into a black and white film, this sequence has remained true to the silent film era by using such tools as title cards (inter titles) in lieu of sound to convey both dialogue and narrative and, music, particularly the piano and harpsichord, to promote atmosphere and an attitude to not take the film too seriously. In addition to this the actor's use of body language to convey emotion was deliberately campy and overdone and the projection speed was also varied.

Answer: Highlights from Hamlet

Frederic Bronski was a legend in his own lunchtime. Clearly in his own mind, he was a huge star. Amongst his peers, his overacting was an issue of some derision. In one scene, where he is upset by something that has happened offstage, the emotion is unwittingly transferred to his performance. One of the other actors whispers "What's happened? Tonight he's good!" In a latter part of the film, Anna Bronski describes her husband as being "world famous in Poland"!

Answer: The Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962

The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred October 18-29, 1962. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Russia moved missiles into Cuba - 90 miles from the United States' mainland. During this crisis, President John Kennedy ordered a naval blockade of Russian military ships to prevent further missiles from being transported into Cuba. The confrontation brought the two powers to the brink of a nuclear conflict, and the world held its breath. Khrushchev finally blinked after rethinking his position of wanting to engage in a war with the U.S. This international crisis was averted when Khrushchev finally agreed to remove the missiles.

Answer: 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros

After producing the box-office smash, "The Poseidon Adventure", Irwin Allen began work at 20th Century Fox on a movie adaptation of "The Glass Inferno", a novel by Thomas N. Scortia and Frank M. Robinson. He discovered that Warner Bros was working on a similarly-themed movie, based on Richard Martin Stern's novel "The Tower".

Fox took in the US receipts from the movie, while Warner drew the take from the rest of the world. It marked the first time in motion-picture history that two studios joined forces to make one movie.

From Quiz Towelhead

Answer: Zack

Jasira's father had just bought a house on a cul de sac, so Jasira could attend school in the suburbs, instead of the city. Soon after Jasira moved to Houston, the Vuoso family stopped by to welcome Jasira and her father, Rifat, to the neighborhood. While Jasira and Zack sort of played badminton outside, Rifat found Jasira a job watching Zack after school. Jasira was only three years older than Zack, so he resented being babysat and kept calling Jasira derogatory names. Although Rifat hated Saddam Hussein, he didn't correct Mr. Vuoso's impression that Rifat liked Hussein as Rifat didn't care what Mr. Vuoso thought about him.

From Quiz To Be Or Not To Be

Answer: Naughty Nazis

"Naughty Nazis" lampoons the the German ruling party. The scene opens with two German officers discussing how to hide the latest newspaper which suggests their leader's popularity is failing: "The last thing we need is a furious Fuhrer"! Brooks (as Hitler) enters and is greeted with sig heils, to which he replies "Heil myself". He makes his way to a desk which has a nameplate that says "A. Hitler. The mark stops here". This last pun is a historical inaccuracy, as Harry Truman is credited with inventing the term "The buck stops here" in 1940 (one year after the film is set).
