Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the song "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", performed by Audrey Hepburn and sung by Marni Nixon, dubbing Audrey, Fill in the Blanks: "All I want is a room somewhere. Far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair. Oh, wouldn't it be loverly. Lots of _________ for me to ____. Lots of ____ makin' lots of ______."

Answer: chocolate, eat, coal, heat

"Warm face, warm hands, warm feet. Oh, wouldn't it be loverly. Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still. I would never budge 'til spring crept over the windowsill." Marni Nixon played Sister Sophia in the "Sound of Music", starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer.
2. Also from the song "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", fill in the blanks with the correct answer: "Someone's head restin' on ___ _______. Warm and tender as he can be. Who takes good care of me."

Answer: my knee

"Oh, wouldn't it be loverly...Loverly...Loverly...Loverly...Loverly. All I want is a room somewhere. Far away from the cold night air. With one enormous chair. Oh, wouldn't it be loverly." You kind of think to yourself after watching this movie a few times, if she couldn't speak English too well, how come she sang so well? The answer is: it's a movie. Continuing with the Marni Nixon trivia, she was in "Sound of Music", which starred Julie Andrews. Julie Andrews played Eliza Doolittle for many years in the Broadway play with Rex Harrison.
3. The song "I'm an Ordinary Man" is sung and performed by Rex Harrison. Fill in the blank with the correct answer: "I'm an ordinary man who desires nothing more than just __ ___________ chance to live exactly as he likes and do precisely what he wants."

Answer: an ordinary

"An average man am I of no eccentric whim who likes to live his life
free of strife doing whatever he thinks is best for him. Well, just an ordinary man." This is one of my two personal favorite songs from this movie, and in both, Rex Harrison sings.
4. Continuing with lyrics from the song "I'm an Ordinary Man", fill in the blank: "But let a woman in your life and your serenity is through. She'll redecorate your home from the cellar to the dome then go on to the enthralling fun of ______________ you."

Answer: overhauling

"Let a woman in your life and you're up against a wall. Make a plan and you will find she has something else in mind and so rather than do either you do something else that neither likes at all." Just can't imagine Cary Grant, who was originally courted for the role of Professor Higgins, singing these songs.

This information is provided by www.imdb.com's trivia section of this movie. The web address is: http://us.imdb.com/Trivia?0058385.
5. Another fill in the blank from the song "I'm an Ordinary Man": "You want to talk of Keats or ______. She only wants to talk of love. You go to see a play or ballet and spend it searching for her glove."

Answer: Milton

"Let a woman in your life and you invite eternal strife. Let them buy
their wedding bands for those anxious little hands. I'd be equally as willing for a dentist to be drilling than to ever let a woman in my life." Rex Harrison did have the experience of playing this same role on Broadway.

Answer: fingertips

"But let a woman in your life and patience hasn't got a chance. She will beg you for advice. Your reply will be concise and she'll listen very nicely then go out and do precisely what she wants. You are a man of grace and polish who never spoke above a hush. Now all at once
you're using language that would make a sailor blush." The play "My Fair Lady" was adapted from the play "Pygmalion" by George Bernard Shaw.

"I'm a quiet-living man who prefers to spend the evenings in the silence of his room who likes an atmosphere as restful as an undiscovered tomb. A pensive man am I of philosophic joys. Who likes to meditate, contemplate, free from humanity's mad, inhuman noise. A quiet-living man."
8. Last fill in the blank for the song "I'm an Ordinary Man": "But let a woman in your life and your sabbatical is through. In a line that never ends come __ _______ of her friends come to jabber and to chatter and to tell her what the matter is with you."

Answer: an army

"She'll have a booming boisterous family who will descend on you
en masse. She'll have a large Wagnerian mother with a voice that shatters glass. Let a woman in your life...Let a woman in your life...I shall never let a woman in my life." This is the scene where Higgins turns up the speakers and all you hear is the jabbering and chattering voices of many family relatives, like the ones we all know too well!
9. In the song "With a Little Bit of Luck" performed by Stanley Holloway, fill in the blanks: "The Lord above gave man __ ____ ___ ______ so he could do his job and never shirk. The Lord above gave man __ ____ ___ ______, but..."

Answer: for man to marry

"With a little bit of luck. With a little bit of luck. You can have it all and not get hooked. With a little bit...With a little bit...With a little bit of luck you won't get hooked." Alfred Doolittle ends up getting hooked and singing "Get Me to the Church on Time" later in the movie.

17. Fill in the blank: "Next week on the 20th of ________ I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day. All the people will celebrate the glory of you and whatever you wish and want I gladly will do."

Answer: May

"Thanks a lot, King says I in a manner well-bred. But all I want is 'Enry 'Iggins' head. 'Done', says the King with a stroke. 'Guard, run and bring in the bloke.' Then they'll march you 'Enry 'Iggins, to the wall and the King will tell me, Liza, sound the call. As they raise their rifles higher I'll shout Ready, aim, fire. Ha ha ha,
'Enry 'Iggins. Down you'll go 'Enry 'Iggins. Just you wait."
18. The next few questions come from the song "The Rain in Spain" performed by Rex Harrison, Wilfrid Hyde-White, and Audrey Hepburn, and sung by the same people, except that Marni Nixon dubbed Audrey Hepburn. Fill in the blank on these opening lines for this song: "The rain in Spain...stays mainly...in the _______. Again. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the _______. I think she's got it. I think she's got it."

Answer: Hurricanes

"Now, once again where does it rain? On the plain, on the plain. And where's that blasted plain? In Spain, in Spain. The rain in Spain
stays mainly in the plain. The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." Because of the way Rex Harrison sang and talked his musical numbers, they were unable to prerecord them.
20. The next few questions are from lyrics to the song "I Could Have Danced All Night", performed by Audrey Hepburn and sung by Marni Nixon dubbing Audrey's voice. Fill in the blank on these opening lines: "Bed bed, I couldn't go to bed my head's too ________ to try to set it down. Sleep, sleep, I couldn't sleep tonight, not for all the jewels in the crown."

Answer: light

"I could have danced all night. I could have danced all night, and still have begged for more." Continuing with the Rex Harrison recording trivia, they couldn't prerecord him but they were also unable have him lip sync, so one of the first wireless microphones was rigged up and hidden under his tie.
21. Fill in the blank: "I could have spread my wings and done ________________ things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting. Why all at once my heart took flight."

Answer: a thousand

"I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting. Why all at once my heart took flight." Julie Andrews was the first choice for the role of Eliza Doolittle; however, Warner Brothers, who had paid $5.5 million for the rights to the Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe musical, didn't want to risk a stage actress in the central role of a $17-million film, despite lobbying from Lerner himself.
22. At this point in the song the servants begin to sing with Audrey (really Marni Nixon) about getting to bed. Fill in the blank: "It's after _______ now, don't you agree now? She ought to be in bed. She ought to be in bed."

Answer: 3

This is a beautiful interaction between Eliza and the servants. They are insisting on the importance of her going to bed, but she demonstrates her happiness and excitement by singing and dancing and not wanting to go to sleep.
23. Continuing with this part of the song where there is an interaction between Eliza and the servants, fill in the blank: "I could have danced all night. [You're tired out. You must be dead.] I could have danced all night. [Your face is worn. Your eyes are red.] And still have begged. [Now say good night, please. Turn out the light, please. It's really time for you to ___________.] For more."

Answer: be in bed

"I could have spread my wings. [A good time ago. Do as you're told.] And done a thousand things. [Or Mrs. Pearce is apt to scold.] I've never done before. [You're up too late, Miss. And sure as fate, Miss. You'll catch a cold.]"
24. And near the end of the song these lyrics between Mrs. Pearce and Eliza: "I understand, dear. It's all been _______, dear. But now it's time to sleep."

Answer: grand

"I could have danced all night. I could have danced all night. And still have begged for more. I could have spread my wings and done a thousand things I've never done before. I'll never know what made it so exciting. Why all at once my heart took flight. I only know when he began to dance with me, I could have danced, danced, danced all night." Audrey's face and bodily expressions portrays beautifully the excitement that Eliza is feeling during this number.
25. This question is based on the lyrics sung by the servants when they are feeling something like compassion for "Poor, Professor Higgins". Fill in the blank: "Poor Professor Higgins. Poor Professor Higgins. Night and day he slaves away. Oh, poor Professor Higgins. All day long, on his feet. Up and down until he's numb. Doesn't ______, doesn't eat. Doesn't touch a crumb."
