Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where is the base the Marshalls are transferred to?

Answer: Alabama

In the beginning of the movie, the Marshalls are stationed in Hawaii, but Hank's superiors have taken notice of Carly's antics, such as sunbathing topless, and Hank is being transferred to Fort Matthews in Alabama.
2. How many children do the Marshalls have?

Answer: 2

The Marshalls have two daughters named Alex and Becky. After seeing the shabby condition of their new home at Fort Matthews, Carly freaks out and drives off in the car. Hank has to follow her and calm her down. The next morning Hank is trying to explain to the girls how their mother is like water, which can change its properties and become steam, vapor, ice or just stay as water.

After he leaves the table, Alex says, "He's blind and she's crazy", to which Becky responds, "They're perfect for each other".
3. What kind of work does Major Marshall do for the Army?

Answer: nuclear scientist

Hank has been writing reports for years, recommending underground nuclear testing. When he first arrived at Fort Matthews, Colonel Vince Johnson, the base commander, made it clear to Hank that the Army should present a united front, and the Army's position was for atmospheric testing.
4. How does Hank cool Carly down after she dances at the Hail and Farewell Dance?

Answer: throws her in a swimming pool

Hank doesn't want to dance, and neither does Ray Stevens from the Atomic Energy Commission. Vince Johnson volunteers to dance with Carly, and the two of them begin a seductive dance which has Vera (Vince's wife) and Hank watching with shock and embarrassment.

When Hank approaches them, Vince says to Carly, "Here comes the stop sign". Carly tries to get Hank to dance with her, but he tells her it's time to go. She says she'll dance by herself, and dances seductively across the floor. Hank keeps trying to take her by the arm, but she keeps fighting him.

He finally picks her up and carries her to the swimming pool, which he drops her in.
5. Where does Vince Johnson send Hank for two weeks?

Answer: Nevada

Vince Johnson sends Hank to Mercury, Nevada to monitor an underground atomic test. He's also sending Hank out of town so he can seduce Carly. Hank points this out to Carly by asking her if she remembers her bible and the story of David and Bathsheba. Just before the test, Hank sees two cowboys near the test site, but the General won't stop the test.

After the test, Hank monitors massive radiation venting from the test site. When he tries to get the AEC and the general to do something about the two men who were contaminated, they tell Hank to drop it.
6. What does "blue sky" mean in the movie?

Answer: atomic testing project name

The name of the project is called 'Blue Sky'. When Alex and Glenn are in the quonset hut discussing atomic testing, Alex explains that they test underground, but if any radiation gets into the atmosphere only the Army will know that it's there. The population will only see blue skies.
7. Who finds Carly with another man?

Answer: Alex

Alex has been hanging around with Vince Johnson's son, Glenn. They had gone to an off-limits area to hang out and were caught after Alex inadvertantly pulled the pin on a live grenade. Glenn wanted to go back there to retrieve his knife. As they approach the quonset hut, they hear voices inside. Alex is the first to look through the window and sees her mother with Vince Johnson.
8. Who tells Hank about Carly being with another man?

Answer: Carly

Alex doesn't want to talk to her mother after finding Carly with Vince Johnson. Carly says she'll tell Hank, and Alex makes her call him right then. Hank arrives back in Alabama the night of the show which was being put on by the officer's wives. He tells Vince Johnson he wants to talk to him right away. Vince thinks Hank wants to discuss him and Carly, but Hank wants to discuss what happened during the atomic test.
9. Carly puts her life in danger trying to get Hank out of the psych ward.

Answer: True

Hank gets thrown in the brig for punching Vince, but then Vince tricks Carly into signing papers to have Hank committed to base hospital. After Hank tells Carly that Vince lied to her, and without a court-martial he won't get to tell what happened at the atomic test, Carly realizes how she messed up.

She reads through all of Hank's reports on the Blue Sky project, and then drives straight through to Nevada with the girls. They find the two cowboys who were contaminated during the last test, but they won't go public.

After Carly hears that there is another test the next day, she takes a horse and rides onto the test site herself. Since reporters have already seen her, she persuades the general to get Hank released from the hospital. The general also has Vince Johnson removed as the base commander.
10. Who does Glenn say that Carly looks like when she arrives in a new convertible?

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor

Glenn is at the Marshall's helping them pack when Carly arrives with a red convertible and a new dark hairdo. She tells Glenn that his remark has earned him a ride in her new convertible. Hank is leaving the Army and will become a professor at a university in California.
