Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The movie opens with young Richard and Emmaline sailing to San Francisco aboard a ship called the ____________.

Answer: Northumberland

Richard is played by Christopher Atkins in the 1980 remake. But, in 1949 the movie starred Jean Simmons and Donald Houston as Emmaline Foster and Michael Reynolds. Jean Simmons experienced a long career in TV and movies. She was Sarah Brown in 1955's "Guys and Dolls" and Varinia in 1960's "Spartacus". Later she starred in the TV movie "Valley of the Dolls", both of the "North and South" mini-series as Orry's mother Clarissa Main, and the TV series "Dark Shadows".

She was 20 years old when she played the part of the grown up Emmaline Foster.
2. How were Richard and Emmaline related?

Answer: Cousins

Emmaline calls out for Richard's father several times, as Uncle Arthur. William Daniels played Arthur LeStrange. Mr. Daniels was the voice of the A.I. (artificial intelligence) KITT in the TV series "Knight Rider" from 1982-1986. He reprised that role in the 1991 TV movie "Knight Rider 2000".
3. While still aboard the ship, why was it that Paddy Button spanked Richard?

Answer: He was looking through Paddy's belongings

There was not much for young kids to do on a long voyage. So, Richard and Emmaline snuck into the cook's room and rifled through his stuff. When caught, Richard was lingering on a photograph of a nude woman.
4. Who played the children's life saver, Paddy Button?

Answer: Leo McKern

Paddy saved the kids when their ship caught fire. He rowed them to a safe shore and taught them many survival skills before he died. Leo died at age 82 from a long illness, but you may remember him from his appearances in both of the first two "Omen" movies and 1985's "Ladyhawke".
5. After reaching safety on an island, the trio explore the area. They find a waterfall and bananas. Emmaline also finds a barrel that she said smelled like _________.

Answer: The Captain's breath

Paddy was the ship's "cookie", so he knew immediately what Emmaline meant. The barrel contained some sort of liquor, which he promptly named as rum.
6. Paddy becomes extremely upset when he sees Emmaline placing red berries in her mouth. In order to express their danger, what did Paddy tell the children the berries were?

Answer: Never wake up berries

These, of course, are the same berries that baby Paddy eats at the end of the movie. Elva Josephson played young Emmaline. She was also in the 1982 movie "Author! Author!" with Al Pacino and Dyan Cannon.
7. Richard and Emmaline needed Paddy to explain the "dead and buried" expression. Afterward Richard mentions that Mrs. Jones' baby died. Where did her baby come from and go back to, according to Emmaline?

Answer: cabbage patch

The story that children used to be told was that babies grew in a cabbage patch. Sometimes, they were told a stork delivered babies. It was not too many years after the movie came out that the Cabbage Patch Kids craze hit the United States.
8. Paddy proclaimed to have wives in many ports of sea. What was the actual number of marriages he told Richard he'd had?

Answer: 7

Richard, in particular, seemed to be most curious about marriage. Paddy had many pictures for the kids to view of families in different settings. They came from the trunk he rescued right after the ship burned.
9. Pick the skill we do NOT see Paddy teaching one of the children after arriving on their island.

Answer: Sling shot hunting

We also see him specifically teaching Richard how to weave bamboo strips and marking a tree branch with a line for each passing day.
10. According to Paddy, who lives on the other side of the island?

Answer: The Boogeyman

He warns the children that the Boogeyman will eat them, bones and all. He declares it the law that they never go over there. Soon afterward, Paddy gets drunk, swims to a neighboring island, and dies.
