The film was inspired by the "Judges Trial" which was held in 1947 before a Nuremberg Military Tribunal. All four judges were convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
The role of Emil Hahn (one of the judges on trial) was played by Werner Klemperer who later became well known as the goofy Col. Klink in the TV comedy "Hogan's Heroes".
The film had a star-studded cast including Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, Richard Widmark, Montgomery Clift, Marlene Dietrich and Judy Garland.
Maximilian Schell won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
3. In the 1962 romantic comedy "That Touch of Mink" starring Cary Grant and Doris Day, a famous American sportsman plays himself in the movie. Who is this sportsman?

Answer: Mickey Mantle

Mickey Mantle (1931 - 1995) played for the New York Yankees for 18 years from 1951 - 1968 and was regarded by many as one of the greatest "switch hitters" of all time. He played in seven World Series Championship sides, 20 times an All-Star and finished his career with 536 home runs.
In the movie Philip Shayne (Cary Grant) is a part owner of the New York Yankees baseball team. In the movie Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris and Yogi Berra play themselves during a Yankees dugout scene. Doris Day plays the role of Cathy Timberlake, a New York City career woman.
4. The suspense/horror movie "The Birds" in 1963 was directed by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock. The location of the movie is an actual town in California that still to this day markets itself with a "Birds"-themed Visitors' Centre. What is the name of this town?

Answer: Bodega Bay

Bodega Bay is a town in Sonoma County, California which was the location for the filming of the movie. The town still markets itself in connection to the movie with a Visitors' Centre ("Birds" theme).
All of the above are located in Sonoma County. In the movie Mitch Brenner (Rod Taylor) lives in Bodega Bay and it is here that he and Melanie Daniels (Tippi Hedren) are set upon through a series of widespread and violet bird attacks over the course of a few days.
5. In the third film of the James Bond series, "Goldfinger" (1964), Jill Masterson was completely covered in gold paint and subsequently dies of skin suffocation. Who was the actress who played the role of Jill Masterson?

Answer: Shirley Eaton

Jill Masterson (Shirley Eaton) was an assistant to Goldfinger and she betrayed him, so as her punishment he had her painted gold. While preparing for the scene to be shot it took one hour and a half to apply the gold paint to her body. This became quite a well-known part of the film (although a small part); however, the painted body was displayed on the cover of "Life" magazine in November 1964. Honor Blackman played Pussy Galore and Tania Mallet played Tilly Masterson, the sister of Jill. Lois Maxwell was Miss Moneypenny (M's secretary) and played this role in 14 James Bond productions. "Goldfinger" was the third Top Grossing film in the USA in 1964 after "Mary Poppins" and "My Fair Lady".

It was during the filming of "Goldfinger" that Sean Connery became an avid golf fan.
6. The Top Grossing film in the USA in 1965 was "The Sound of Music". Captain Georg von Trapp was the father of the seven children that eventually escaped over the Alps from Austria into Switzerland. Georg von Trapp was a captain in what organisation?

Answer: Navy

Although Austria is landlocked, it did prior to the 1930s have a combined Austro-Hungarian Navy which was allied to Germany during WWI.
Captain von Trapp actually commanded a number of submarines in WWI and was highly decorated.
One of the children, Maria von Trapp (portrayed as Louisa in the movie), was the last surviving member of the seven von Trapp children and sadly passed away in 2014 at the age of 99.
7. In 1966 a movie starring Michael Caine and Shelley Winters was released that was the first film to be "suggested for mature audiences" by the Motion Picture Association of America in the USA, which today is known as a PG rating. What was the name of this film?

Answer: Alfie

All four movies were released in 1966. Michael Caine (Alfred "Alfie" Elkins) starred as a young womaniser who leads a self-centred life. He cheats on various women and treats them all with disrespect. Shelley Winters played the role of Ruby.
The main reason for the move by the MPAA was that it depicted an abortion scene (although off camera). The rating appeased the beliefs of a number of religious groups that monitored the movie industry.
8. Lucas (Luke) Jackson, played by Paul Newman in the 1967 classic "Cool Hand Luke", was arrested and imprisoned for two years to a Florida chain gang. What was he arrested for?

Answer: Cutting off the "heads" of parking meters

Luke was a decorated war veteran, but drunkenly cut off the heads of parking meters (opening scenes of the movie). He was sentenced to two years to the chain gang. He actually got his name of "Cool Hand Luke" after a poker game that he won by having nothing. He made the comment "nothing can be a real cool hand". It was Dragline (George Kennedy) that gave him the name "Cool Hand Luke".
9. The 1968 movie "The Lion in Winter" starring Peter O'Toole, Katharine Hepburn and Anthony Hopkins was also the film debut of a future James Bond who played the role of King Phillip II of France. Who was this actor?

Answer: Timothy Dalton

Timothy Dalton portrayed James Bond in "The Living Daylights" (1987) and "Licence to Kill" (1989).
Brosnan appeared in his first film role as an IRA hitman in "The Long Good Friday" (1980) and appeared as James Bond in four movies from 1995 - 2002.
Daniel Graig's first film role was in "The Power of One" (1992) and his first James Bond role was in "Casino Royale" (2006).
George Lazenby (Australian actor) made his first movie appearance and only film role as James Bond in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969).
Very few realise that David Niven also played Sir James Bond in the film "Casino Royale" (1967).
10. Lee Marvin stars as Ben Rumson in the 1969 movie "Paint Your Wagon". His mining partner in the movie is Clint Eastwood who is only known as "Pardner". Only at the end of the movie does Ben ask his "Pardner" what is his real name. What was the name given by Pardner (Clint Eastwood)?

Answer: Sylvester Newel
