Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The waltz "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" was a hit on Tin Pan Alley when released in 1919. The first movie to play it was "The Passing Show of 1918". In which pair of films would you hear it?

Answer: "The Public Enemy" and "Get Him to the Greek"

The song is played intermittently in "The Public Enemy" while "Get Him to the Greek" features an instrumental version. Kiersten Morgan sings it in "The Watermelon", a lone guitar strums it in "Sweet and Lowdown" and it is played during a scene in "Women in Love".

Answer: "Born on the Fourth of July" and "Fletch"

"Born on the Fourth of July" and "Fletch" both have instrumental versions. Andy Williams sings it in "Stuck on You" while "Curse of the Pink Panther" and "Elizabethtown" use it as background music. "Roman Holiday", "Sabrina", and "Paris When It Sizzles" are other Hepburn films but no version of "Moon River".

The team of Mercer and Mancini also teamed to write "Days of Wine and Roses" another Academy Award winner.

Answer: "White Christmas" and "This is the Army"

Bing Crosby, along with Danny Kaye and Rosemary Clooney, sang it in "White Christmas" and it was sung by Ralph Magelssen and Chorus in "This is the Army". Eddie Cantor sings it in "Kid Millions" and the 1971 version is performed by Marry Me Jane in "If Lucy Fell".

It was originally performed during World War I by singers in 'blackface'. Berlin, composer of an endless number of songs, won an Academy Award for "White Christmas" and was nominated for seven others.

4. In 1922 Gus Kahn wrote "Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo' Bye!)". Now before you go, what is the correct pair that features this song?

Answer: "The Public Enemy" and "The Jazz Singer"

The most famous rendition of this song was by Al Jolson in "The Jazz Singer" but musical renditions were heard in "The Public Enemy" as well as "Wings of Eagles". Jolson starred in "The Singing Fool" but did not sing this song. "Tootsie" was a 'red herring'. Kahn also wrote "Pretty Baby", "Love Me or Leave Me", "Side by Side" and many more during the period 1914 to 1931.

Answer: "Lord of War" and "Bull Durham"

Grace Jones sung it in "Lord of War" but the original recording by Edith Piaf was used in "Bull Durham". This song was mentioned by Ian Fleming in his books "Casino Royale" and "Diamonds Are Forever" but you won't hear it in the films. It is played in the other two films "Pr�t-�-Porter" and "French Kiss". Piaf's life was captured in a film titled, oddly enough, "La Vie en Rose".

Answer: "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "The Eddie Duchin Story"

"A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" and "The Eddy Duchin Story" both featured piano versions. A female chorus sang it in "The Great Ziegfeld" and you'll hear it in "Pennies from Heaven". "An American in Paris" and "Cover Girl" were Gene Kelly films with lots of singing but not this song and neither will you hear it in "High Noon" or "It's a Wonderful Life".

Answer: For Me and My Gal

George Murphy sang "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" and also danced to it in "For Me and My Gal". The other song "When You Wore a Tulip and I Wore a Big Red Rose" was sung and danced by Gene Kelly and Judy Garland in the same film. The other musicals were great but had neither of these two songs.

8. Jacob Gade composed "(Jealousy) Jalousie" and the song was popularized by Arthur Fiedler and The Boston Pops. In which two films would you hear this song played?

Answer: "Anchors Aweigh" and "Death on the Nile"

In both "Anchors Aweigh" and "Death on the Nile" you can hear this song. Three other films that included this song are "Silent Movie", "Painting the Clouds with Sunshine" and "Don Q, Son of Zorro". Once again, "Top Hat", "Music Man" and "Easter Parade" have loads of music but, they do not include this song.

9. "Makin' Whoopee!" was a song made popular by Eddie Cantor in the film "Whoopee!". What other two films included this song?

Answer: "The Whoopee Boys" and "The Fabulous Baker Boys"

Paul Rodriguez sang it in the "The Whoopee Boys", Michelle Pfeiffer did the number in the "The Fabulous Baker Boys" and Timothy Jerome had a minor role in "Everyone Says I Love You" but he managed to vocalize this song. Every other movie mentioned starred Fred Astaire but did not whooperize.

10. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was sung by Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz". It has also been sung in other films. Three other films are linked with this song, so what is the correct pairing?

Answer: "The Philadelphia Story" and "Sweet Bird of Youth"

Jimmy Stewart stumbles through it in "The Philadelphia Story" and a piano trills it in "Sweet Bird of Youth". Believe it or not, the Vincent Price horror film "Dr. Phibes Rises Again" also has a rendition. The rest of the films are ones that just came to mind and I needed to get some sleep.
