Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "The Ten Commandments" was a legendary epic. Who directed it?

Answer: Cecil B. DeMille

This one had the legendary C.B. at the helm. One of the most famous movies of all times - always shown on the appropriate holidays.
2. "The Big Country" was a western which cast Heston as a tough guy. Who was the principal star of the movie?

Answer: Gregory Peck

Peck is the dude who must adapt to the Old West. Okay, but overblown.
3. "Ben-Hur" is considered one of the masterpieces of movie-making. The best known scene is the chariot race. Heston wins the race; what happens to the loser?

Answer: He is injured in the race and dies

Stephen Boyd does a fine job in the key supporting role. He is injured in the race and dies shortly thereafter.
4. "El Cid" is also an epic tale with Heston in the title role. Who is his leading lady?

Answer: Sophia Loren

Also overblown and not on a par with his other "spectaculars" - but not all that bad.
5. "The Greatest Show on Earth" was an entertaining circus adventure. Who was NOT in the cast with Heston?

Answer: Betty Grable

Wilde was the aerialist. Grahame was another performer. Stewart was a clown. Heston's romantic interest was Betty Hutton, however - not Betty Grable.
6. "Planet of the Apes" was a Heston sci-fi story. Which statement accurately describes the plot?

Answer: He journeys into Earth's future

He thinks he's on another planet, but when he discovers the Statue of Liberty, the sad truth is revealed.
7. "Will Penny" also starred Heston. What type of movie was it?

Answer: Western

A "quiet" western - with an emphasis on character (rather than on action).
8. Which of the following is a Heston western?

Answer: Major Dundee

"Billy" stars Robert Taylor. (There have been other versions, but none with Heston.) "Sergeant" was a weak effort by John Ford; it starred Jeffrey Hunter. "Return" was a sequel to the Tyrone Power movie about Jesse James; it starred Henry Fonda.
9. Heston portrayed this president in two different movies.

Answer: Andrew Jackson

He played Jackson in "The Buccaneer" and in "The President's Lady". The first was about Jean Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans; the second was about Jackson's romance with Rachel.
10. Heston starred in "The Agony and The Ecstasy". Who was the movie about?

Answer: Michelangelo

Ah, the hardships involved in painting the Sistine Chapel! Kirk Douglas starred as Van Gogh in "Lust for Life". Jose Ferer starred as T-L in "Moulin Rouge". (Not the Nicole Kidman version.)
