Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In this movie the young woman, a very sweet young thing living in a small town, finds herself in trouble. It wasn't her fault, she had planned to marry the Daddy but, oops, he was killed. She gives the baby up, wallows in shame for a while, turns into a rather bitter older woman but finally hooks back up with her long lost son. Obviously the actress who acted all that out won an Oscar as Best Actress. For which film?
2. Another "chewing-up-the-scenery" role came in this movie. It was not so much a soap opera but a love story. An odd love story, but one nonetheless. This poor young farm girl is both deaf and dumb and gets raped, resulting in the birth of a child. A nice young doctor who likes her rushes in and saves the day, even after all those tongues wagging that he was the baby's father. He wasn't. And, yes, the lead actress won an Oscar for this one, too. What movie is this?
3. Natalie Wood. Nice New York girl. Steve McQueen. Irresponsible musician. They played folks in a movie where their ships, shall we say, went 'bump in the night'. And baby makes three! (Pretty cool gene pool for the little thing, though, don't you think?) Which one of these is the right movie?
4. In Puritan New England a young wife finds herself pregnant. She actually is married but, such misfortune. Her absent husband is not the father. Public scorn ensues and she's labeled for life. Literally. Which film?
5. He could run fast, he could play ping pong well, he liked Doctor Pepper sodas, he ended up owning a shrimping boat and he adored his Jenny. But he didn't know that she had given birth to his son. He probably didn't even know he could make that happen! They finally did marry and then she died. Sad story. Good movie. Name it!
6. This one might be a little obscure but I thought it was a pretty darned good movie. A sailor on leave meets up with a prostitute. He falls in love with her. She already has a bi-racial illegitimate son and there's a new baby coming. That sailor certainly fell into a package deal! Which 1974 film is this?
7. Another (imagine that) Oscar winning performance by a lady highlighted this movie in 1979. One of her kids was not illegitimate, another of them was and another was a step-child. She liked swimming even though minnows were clipping at her feet, she commented boldly about her friend's "skinny build" and she truly loved her children. All of them. "So It Goes Like It Goes" is the movie's theme song. Which of these am I speaking of?
8. Frank shows up at Cora's roadside diner. She's married to Nick but takes a fancy for Frank, anyway. Chaos (and a passionately cleared off kitchen table happen in no time flat). Nick ends up dead, Cora ends up thriving and Frank ends up stuck in the middle. But there's a baby on the way. Unfortunately, Cora tumbles out of a runaway car and both she and the baby buy the farm. Which movie is this one?
9. Oh, for Heaven's sake (even though Heaven had little to do with it...). In this film not one but three women end up having babies by the same unmarried guy. They all become friends; one big happy family. Guess you have to give the devil his due! Which film is this?
10. Shelley Winters played something of a mewling part in this one. She ends up a little late on her menstrual cycle and Daddy Montgomery Clift has the hots for Elizabeth Taylor. Poor Shelley ends up fish food. Which movie am I addressing now?
