Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In addition to his relationship with Bergman in "Casablanca", Bogart helps a young couple in need of money by allowing them to win while gambling at "Rick's". What game are they playing?

Answer: Roulette

This movie is on everyone's list of the best love stories from Hollywood (and is considered one of Hollywood's best films).
Bogart, being sentimental, allows the the young man to win at roulette at "Rick's". Bergman didn't know it was going to be a classic. It is.

Answer: David Copperfield

This is another one of Hollywood's most honored movies. Rhett and Scarlett - with the movie living up to the book. Everyone remembers the final line by Gable/Rhett.

3. In "An Affair to Remember", Deborah Kerr fails to keep her appointment with Cary Grant when she's injured outside the Empire State Building. How did she get there?

Answer: Car

She gets out of the car a bit too quickly and carelessly. The ending of the movie provides something extra; the movie doesn't seem that special until the ending.

Answer: Edward Binns

Glass runs the soda shop where the Jets hang out. Astin is running the dance at the gym. Oakland plays the cynical cop.

5. "Of Human Bondage" deals with infatuation and unrequited love; Leslie Howard is hung up on callous Bette Davis. What does the Davis character do for a living?

Answer: Waitress

It's a one-way street when Howard gets hung up on Davis ... who plays him for a fool before life catches up with her. Great role for Davis(and a great job by her) - but no Oscar this time.

6. "Wuthering Heights" describes the romance between Merle Oberon and Laurence Olivier, but Oberon doesn't marry Olivier in the movie. Who does she marry?

Answer: David Niven

This is one of Hollywood's earliest "great romances". It is one of Olivier's best-known roles ...and nmay be THE best-known role for Oberon.

7. What do the following love stories have in common: "A Place in the Sun", "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "Body Heat", and "Double Indemnity"?

Answer: All of the men are willing to consider murder as a solution to their problems

Clift in "Sun", MacMurray in "Indemnity", Garfield in "Postman" and Hurt in "Heat" all either perform a murder or contemplate one. Hurt is an attorney in the movie. Taylor is not married (in "Sun"). Stanwyck dies (in "Indemnity").

8. What do "Laura" and "Vertigo" have in common?

Answer: The crime "victim" is not really dead

"Laura" isn't dead; her friend is. Kim Novak (in "Vertigo") isn't dead; it's a set-up. Novak's character is married, but "Laura" is not. "Laura" survives at the end.

9. In which of these movies does Paul Newman "get the girl" at the end of the movie?

Answer: The Young Philadelphians

He parts company on good terms with Sally Field (in "Malice"); he parts company on not-so-good terms with Charlotte Rampling (in "Verdict"). Piper Laurie dies in "Hustler". In "Philadelphians", however, Newman is reunited with former girl friend Barbara Rush at the end of the movie.

10. In which Bette Davis movie is her romance with her doctor ended by her blindness and death?

Answer: Dark Victory

All four are Davis vehicles, but it's "Victory" that has her relationship with George Brent ended by her death.
