Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. No one did it better than Barbara Stanwyck in "Double Indemnity". She set up her husband - and Fred MacMurray, too. What role did MacMurray play?

Answer: Insurance Salesman

Classic film noir. MacMurray sold the insurance policy with the "double indemnity" provision. (Stanwyck was on the other end of things in "Sorry, Wrong Number" - she played the victim.)

2. Madeleine Stowe played a schemer in "China Moon". Who played the policeman who was part boyfriend and part fall guy?

Answer: Ed Harris

Entertaining. Harris always turns in solid performances. Nice twists.

3. "Body Heat" was a classic. The heat also came from the surroundings. Where did the story take place?

Answer: Florida

Kathleen Turner and William Hurt. Good solid suspense.

4. Lana Turner conspired with John Garfield in "The Postman Always Rings Twice". Which statement is true?

Answer: Neither got away with the crime, at the end.

Turner dies and Garfield gets a death sentence. Crime doesn't pay.

5. Who played the up-to-no-good woman in "Niagara"?

Answer: Marilyn Monroe

Early Marilyn movie. Novak did her nefarious work in "Vertigo".

6. Lana Turner plans to do in her husband in "Portrait in Black". Who plays her boyfriend?

Answer: Anthony Quinn

Quinn is the husband's doctor - how convenient! Enjoyable movie.

7. Virginia Mayo is less-than-faithful to gangster boy friend James Cagney. Which movie is this?

Answer: White Heat

Cagney wasn't in "Capone" or "Caesar". Mayo wasn't in "Enemy".

8. Jane Greer plays a scheming woman in "Out of the Past". Who was NOT in the cast?

Answer: Joan Crawford

Mitchum starred in this classic film noir. Douglas played a louse and Rhonda Fleming had a smaller supporting role. No Joan in this one.

9. Lizabeth Scott plays a woman who turns out to be dangerous to Humphrey Bogart. Which movie is this?

Answer: Dead Reckoning

Not the best of Bogart's movies, but still easy-to-watch.

10. In "Black Widow", a woman kills not for love, but for money. Who plays the killer?

Answer: Theresa Russell

Smooth suspense film that has Winger pursuing the evil Russell. Kidman did her scheming in "Malice".
