Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Brute Force" stars which classic actor in a "got-to-get-out-of-prison" storyline?

Answer: Burt Lancaster

Hume Cronyn as the tough warden.
2. "Escape from Alcatraz" stars Clint Eastwood. Who plays the tough warden?

Answer: Patrick McGoohan

Okay, but not special.
3. "Fortune and Men's Eyes" starred Wendell Burton. Where does the title come from?

Answer: William Shakespeare

"When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes" is the opening of one of the bard's poems. Burton had a momentary success opposite Liza Minnelli in "The Sterile Cuckoo", but soon faded.
4. "Each Dawn I Die" starred what tough guy?

Answer: James Cagney

Where better for the ultimate tough guy to be tough?
5. "20,000 Years in Sing Sing" starred what actor?

Answer: Spencer Tracy

So-so, but always good to watch Tracy.
6. The story upon which "The Shawshank Redemption" was based was written by what author?

Answer: Stephen King

Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman. Good (but long).
7. Who starred in "Brubaker"?

Answer: Robert Redford

Not his best.
8. "Papillon" involved an escape from a different kind of prison environment. What tattoo was the distinguishing feature of the title character?

Answer: Butterfly

Butterfly on his chest. Steve McQueen, Dustin Hoffman. Interesting because it's true (they say), but a bit long.
9. Which of these is a "prison" movie?

Answer: The Last Castle

Again, it's Robert Redford. "Phoenix" is an airplane crash starring James Stewart. "Varrick" is a drama with Walter Matthau matching wits with the mob. "Mirage" is Gregory Peck as an amnesia victim.
10. The best for last: "The Great Escape" was superb. Who played the "scrounger"?

Answer: James Garner

McQueen was "cooler king". Bronson was "tunnel king". Pleasence was the "forger". Terrific movie.
