Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: The Egg and I

Great movie directed by Chester Erskine. Claudette did a wonderful job as newlywed city girl who discovers on her wedding night that her husband has bought a farm out in the middle of nowhere and that they are going to make their money with chickens! Great family movie.

Answer: Topper Returns

This film is directed by Roy Del Ruth and also stars Carole Landis and Billie Burke. Billie is probably best known for her role as the good witch Glinda in "The Wizard of Oz". Roland has played the role of Cosmo Topper in all three Topper movies, yet Cary Grant is probably most recognized as being the star in "Topper".

This film was directed by H.C. Potter and also starred Melvyn Douglas and Reginald Denny. This is a great film about a city couple who want to get away from the hectic city life. They find a beautiful house in the country, but it needs some work. As they begin the small task of fixing a couple of things, more and more problems arise and it doesn't look like it will ever end!

Answer: White Christmas

I cannot make it through the holiday season without watching this wonderful film. Irving Berlin's music and Bing and Danny just make this movie enjoyable. "White Christmas" is actually somewhat of a re-make of "Holiday Inn", also starring Bing and music by Irving Berlin. Vera Ellen and Rosemary Clooney (aunt of actor George) round out the ensemble cast.

They decide to rob a train and bring down the man who killed her father. Things don't go so well when she is caught and sentenced to death.

Answer: Cat Ballou

This is my all time favorite movie! Lee Marvin as the drunken gunslinger Kid Shelleen, and his brother Strawn, was absolutely perfect casting! Deservedly, he won the Oscar for that role. Michael Callan, Dwayne Hickman, Tom Nardini, Stubby Kaye and Nat King Cole also star.
10. (1956) This film stars Danny Kaye and Glynis Johns as a couple of modern-day Robin Hoods. When the Royal Family is slaughtered, a new man takes the throne who isn't very well liked. Little did he know that the real heir to the throne, a baby, is still alive. Danny and Glynis disguise themselves and enter the palace to ensure the rightful heir to the throne will be crowned.

Answer: The Court Jester

This film, directed by Melvin Frank and Norman Panama is hysterical! Danny Kaye is just wonderful in everything he does. Excellent supporting cast, including, Basil Rathbone, Cecil Parker and Angela Lansbury.
