Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. From above, we find an Englishman, far from the scene of his greatest adventure, tinkering with his motorcycle. When he eventually goes for a spin, the bike crashes and kills him.
2. Three men in dusters wait at a Western railway station. Having politely waited for the credits to skitter around the screen, the train arrives twelve minutes later. A man gets off and plays a little tune for us.
3. A rather sarcastic gent gains access to a secretive funeral parlour in 1920s Chicago. Inside, the "mourners" are being noisily entertained by a jazz band. We are primarily concerned with just two of these players.
4. A "No Trespassing" sign hangs on a wire fence. The property is identified by the letter K above the gate. Inside, an old millionaire breathes his last word, and expires.
5. A judge, wrapping up a murder case, sends the dozen (by this stage, still quite even-tempered) jurors off to deliberate.
6. A bank clerk (with a name like a bird) has an illicit lunchtime romp with her lover in Phoenix, Arizona.
7. An edgy looking New Yorker applies for a job with unsociable hours because he "can't sleep nights".
8. A writer of bad cowboy fiction steps off a train in Vienna.
9. Strauss. Apes. Strauss.
10. And finally, one set in my own home country. As described by James Joyce, a group of well-dressed folk arrive at a Dublin house on January 6th, early in the 20th century. The last film by a man who began his directorial career in 1940, already showing that he had "the stuff that dreams are made of".
