Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Let's start off easy: In what film did Jim play a failing businessman who tries to commit suicide but is saved by an angel?

Answer: It's A Wonderful Life

One of my favorite films of all time. "It's A Wonderful Life" was released in 1946 by Liberty Films. Frank Capra produced and directed it.
2. Jim was in "North By Northwest", in which he runs through a cornfield to hide from enemy fire.

Answer: False

In the beginning it was meant as a vehicle for Jimmy Stewart, but after some script revisions Hitchcock chose Cary Grant for the part.
3. Jim portrays a famous baseball player whose career takes a turn for the worse when he accidently shoots himself in the leg in which movie?

Answer: The Stratton Story

Made in 1949, it was the first of 3 films Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson would make together. It was Jimmy Stewart's first box office hit after returning from the war.
4. In which film does Jim play a doctor running from the law who joins the circus?

Answer: The Greatest Show On Earth

Made in 1952, "The Greatest Show On Earth" starred Charlton Heston, Cornel Wilde, Betty Hutton, Gloria Grahame, and James Stewart as Buttons the Clown. His real face is never seen as he is in clown makeup the whole film. It won an Oscar for Best Picture and was directed by Cecil B. DeMille.
5. Jimmy Stewart was Tom Joad in an adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath".

Answer: False

Jim was not in the film, but his best friend Henry Fonda was in it. Ironically both stars were up for Best Actor in 1940. Jimmy came out the winner. Many think that Jimmy was given the award to make up for not giving it to him the year before for "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington".
6. In which film did Jimmy Stewart play a drunk whose best friend was a 6 ft invisible rabbit?

Answer: Harvey

A classic film made in 1950, Jimmy Stewart was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar. Alas, he did not win again but he gave a great performance.
7. In which film does Jimmy Stewart play a humble country lawyer trying to defend a husband who killed the man who raped his wife?

Answer: Anatomy of A Murder

Made in 1959, directed by Otto Preminger (Mr. Freeze on tv's "Batman"). One of Jimmy's finest performances and one of the best courtroom dramas in film history. Jimmy Stewart was nominated for the 5th and final time for Best Actor, but it was the year of "Ben-Hur" and Charlton Heston beat him out.
8. Jimmy played a bounty hunter in the film "The Naked Spur".

Answer: True

Made in 1953, "The Naked Spur" was one of Jimmy's westerns. He plays a bitter bounty hunter who only wants the money for a convicted man. One of Jimmy's great performances, he shows raw emotions in this film.
9. In which film did Jimmy Stewart play a reporter trying to get the scoop on a socialite's wedding?

Answer: The Philadelphia Story

Made in 1940, Jimmy won the Best Actor Oscar in the company of Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant. A wonderfully comedic performance, Jimmy beat out his best friend Henry Fonda.
10. In which film did Jimmy Stewart play a retired detective who becomes obsessed with his college friend's wife?

Answer: Vertigo

One of Jimmy Stewart's finest performances and a Hitchcock masterpiece. Made in 1958, co-starring Kim Novak (in a hauntingly beautiful dual performance) and Barbara Bel Geddes as an ex-love now turned friend of Jimmy Stewart's character.
