Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What prompts Angelo "Snaps" Provolone to give up his life of crime?

Answer: He made a promise to his dying father.

The deathbed scene, with Kirk Douglas and Yvonne De Carlo, is a classic.

2. Who is the first person to show up at Snaps' door at 8:43 in the morning?

Answer: "Little Ant'ny" Rossano

Vincent Spano plays Anthony with touchingly earnest pomposity. Anthony wants to marry Snaps' daughter.

3. Which person was NOT on Snaps' itinerary for the day?

Answer: Anthony Rossano

The Finnuci brothers (Martin Ferrero and Harry Shearer) were fitting Snaps for a suit. Father Clemente (Don Ameche) was collecting for the Building Fund. Dr. Poole (Tim Curry) was to give Snaps an elocution lesson. Anthony (Vincent Spano) shows up and throws off Snaps' entire day.

4. Who is Snaps' head henchman?

Answer: Aldo

Aldo (Peter Riegert) has a hard time adjusting to his new role as butler. Connie (Chazz Palminteri) is the big, dumb lunk with a heart of gold. Ace (Joey Travolta) is evidently a fairly low man on the totem pole, since he gets right to work when Aldo tells him, "Get started on those melon balls!" Johnny Elbows never appears; he's the new chauffeur.

5. What is Lisa Provolone reading when Snaps comes pounding on her bedroom door?

Answer: Lady Chatterly's Lover

Lisa (Marisa Tomei) is lounging in a negligee, smoking a cigarette, reading "Lady Chatterly", and listening to "Sweet Georgia Brown" on the phonograph. Snaps confronts her because he thinks Anthony is her lover.

6. Who does Snaps want Lisa to marry?

Answer: Bruce Underwood

Lisa whines, "I don't want to marry Bruce Underwood! He's a snob and he's got pimples!"

7. How many fiances does Lisa have before lunch?

Answer: 2

Snaps tells Lisa, "If it's Poole you want, it's Poole you'll get. But you've got to cross the finish line on this one! This is your third fiance today and it ain't even lunch yet!" But he's counting Oscar (Lisa's real lover) or Bruce Underwood (the man he wants her to marry), and neither of them was engaged to Lisa. Snaps manipulates Anthony into being the first fiance, then Anthony finagles out of the engagement by arranging a match with Dr. Poole.

8. Why did Nora, the maid, quit?

Answer: To marry Bruce Underwood

Nora (Joycelyn O'Brien) met Bruce when he came to visit Lisa. "Ah, it was love at first sight!"

9. What happens to Connie in Lisa's bedroom?

Answer: Snaps divests him of all his weapons.

He was packing two guns, a razor, a putty knife, brass knuckles, a chair leg, a knife, poison, a lead pipe, a meat hook, a slingshot, a morning star, and a homemade dynamite bomb. Snaps muttered, "It's like disarming Germany."

10. Why was Snaps' wife angry when she got home?

Answer: Johnny Elbows had dropped her off at Mass and sat outside with the motor running.

Sofia (Ornella Muti) demanded to know why Snaps had fired Oscar. "He was a real chauffeur."

11. Who is getting misinformation about Snaps from Five-Spot Charley?

Answer: Vendetti and Lt. Toomey

Five-Spot Charley (Eddie Bracken) is feeding rumors to both Vendetti (Richard Romanus) and Toomey (Kurtwood Smith). He's never one to pass up a buck.

12. What was in the bag when Snaps left it in the library with Connie?

Answer: $50,000 in cash

Aldo switched it for the bag with the underwear while Connie was distracted by Lisa and Dr. Poole.

13. Who does Toomey think Snaps is meeting with?

Answer: Albanian and his gang

Toomey got his false information from Five-Spot Charley. Snaps is meeting with the bankers (William Atherton, Mark Metcalf, Ken Howard, and Sam Chew Jr.) Toomey finds the bag he thinks is full of money and dumps it on the table, only to spill out the maid's underwear. The gentlemen of the press capture this moment.

14. What keeps Vendetti from completing the planned massacre of Snaps and everybody in his house?

Answer: His car crashes into Toomey's car, and he and his men are all arrested.

With the resulting arrests, Toomey snatches victory from the jaws of defeat.

15. Who does Lisa eventually marry?

Answer: Dr. Poole

They fell in love while chatting on the atrium. Anthony marries Theresa, as he'd originally planned. Oscar (Jim Mulholland) rushes in at the last minute to object, but Snaps has Aldo and his men cart him outside.
