Pubs and Alcohol on the Big Screen Quiz

Answer: Martini - Shaken, not Stirred

Bond first orders this drink in "Goldfinger" and many further requests are made in subsequent films. Bond does not always have his martinis this way - in "You Only Live Twice" Bond accepts a drink that is "stirred, not shaken".

According to "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks" a shaken Martini is properly called a Bradford.

Answer: White Russian

Defined by the International Bartenders Association as an after-dinner cocktail, a White Russian is a mixture of vodka, coffee liqueur and milk or cream. The cocktail did not originate from Russia, getting its name simply because vodka is its main ingredient.

In the film, The Dude, played by Jeff Bridges, drinks a total of nine White Russians.

Answer: Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer - Best Original Song

Mancini and Mercer won for the title song.

The film tells the story of Joe Clay, a young alcoholic (played by Lemmon) who marries Lee Remick's Kirsten and makes her an alcoholic too, so that she can share his "passion". Both Lemmon and Remick were nominated for their performances but lost out to Gregory Peck ("To Kill a Mockingbird") and Anne Bancroft ("The Miracle Worker") respectively. Blake Edwards did not receive an Oscar nomination.

Answer: Compton Mackenzie

The novel is based upon a true story of how, during World War II, the population of a small Scottish island group raised the wreckage of a ship that had sunk off its coast, after discovering that the ship's cargo was whisky, which was being rationed at the time.

Answer: Ray Milland

Milland was cast in the role of Birnam, despite the fact that the studio had demanded a star got the part, due to the controversial nature of the film's subject (Milland was a well-regarded actor but had not yet attained star status).

Cary Grant was rumoured to have been amongst several high profile names who turned the film down and director Billy Wilder's first choice for the role, Jose Ferrer, was rejected by the studio.

Milland's Oscar was one of four that the film won in total including Best Director and Best Screenplay for Billy Wilder.

Answer: Mother Black Cap

The pub used to film this scene was originally called the Tavistock Arms as it was located, not in Camden, but in Tavistock Crescent in Notting Hill. Similarly it is now known as The Crescent having spent a few years sharing its name with the pub in the film.

The name of the fictional pub could well have come from the names of two real-life Camden pubs, The Black Cap and Mother Red Cap.

Answer: The Slaughtered Lamb

The Slaughtered Lamb is to be found on the edge of the Yorkshire moors and is visited by American students, Jack and David, in the course of their walking tour of England. Shortly after leaving the hostelry, the two are set upon by an unknown beast and Jack is killed. The pub sign, which is seen as the two enter the pub, shows the pub's name but curiously the image on it depicts not a slaughtered lamb but the decapitated head of a wolf on a pole.

A real-life Slaughtered Lamb pub can be found in Clerkenwell, East London, although it bears no resemblance whatsoever to the pub in the film.

Answer: Dudley Moore

Dudley Moore was nominated as best actor for his performance as alcoholic, Arthur Bach, in 'Arthur' but didn't win, losing out to Henry Fonda's final screen appearance in 'On Golden Pond'. John Gielgud did, however, win the Best Supporting Actor for his role as Arthur's butler.

Nicolas Cage won the Oscar for his performance in 1995's 'Leaving Las Vegas', Robert Duvall for 'Tender Mercies' in 1983 and Lee Marvin for his duel role as a drunken gunfighter and a sadistic gun for hire in 1965's 'Cat Ballou'.

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

Based on Edward Albee's stage play about a young married couple who are invited to the home of George and Martha for a nightcap after a party, 'Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf?' is another alcohol-fuelled picture to wow the voters at the Academy Awards. Taylor and supporting actress Sandy Dennis won Oscars whilst Burton and supporting actor George Segal gained nominations.

The picture garnered 13 nominations in total.

Answer: Last Orders

The pub that was used to film the scenes at The Coach and Horses was Wishing Well Inn in Peckham, only a few miles from where the book was based.

'Last Orders' was the fifth film in which Caine and Hoskins had both appeared, whilst Mirren had previously appeared with Hoskins in 'The Long Good Friday' but it was the first time that all three had appeared in the same film.
