Colour in Entertainment Trivia Questions

1. 'Lemon Tree' has been recorded many times. Which singer, who died in 2020, had the most successful chart version in 1965?

From Quiz
If Life Gives You Lemons...

Answer: Trini Lopez

Based on a traditional tune from Brazil, words were added by folk singer Will Holt. It became a popular choice for many artistes, but has never been a huge hit. The version by Trini Lopez cracked the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number twenty in 1965. Others to record the song include Peter, Paul and Mary and Herb Alpert. Trini, whose biggest hit was 'If I Had a Hammer' in 1963, died in August 2020 - his death was due, at least partly, to COVID-19.

2. What 1955 movie was an adaptation of a musical that had been based on a 1930 play by Lynn Riggs called "Green Grow the Lilacs"?

From Quiz Color Me Purple Part 2: Purple Screenings

Answer: Oklahoma!

Lynn Riggs's play used traditional folk songs (hence the title) which were replaced by material from Rodgers and Hammerstein for the 1943 musical. The plot was basically the same: Laurey is a farm girl in the Oklahoma Territory, which is just about to become a state (setting things in late 1906 or early 1907), who is being courted by two men, a farmhand named Jud and a cowboy named Curly. The conflict between the two is representative of the ongoing conflict in the region between farmers and cattlemen. In the movie, Laurey was played by Shirley Jones, Curly by Gordon MacRae, and Jud by Rod Steiger. Question prepared by looney_tunes

3. The "Red Detachment of Women" is a ballet that was performed in 1972 for President Nixon when he visited which country?

From Quiz In the Red: Leisure

Answer: China

Nixon's seven day visit to People's Republic of China in February 1972 was the first time that any American president had visited the country. His meetings with Mao Zedong and the First Lady's openness to touring schools and hospitals in cities such as Beijing, Hangzhou and Shanghai helped to cement USA relationships with China, while implementing a split between China and Soviet Union. Since "the week that changed the world" as it was dubbed, every USA president from Nixon to Trump, with the exception of Carter, has visited China. "Red Detachment of Women" tells the tale of a peasant girl, freed from her life of poverty and her subsequent rise in the Chinese Communist Party and is based on the real life events of the all-female Special Company of the 2nd Independent Division of Chinese Red Army, which was formed in May 1931. 480154st choreographed this question.

4. In DC comic books, Bizarro is a purple-clad villain who is the opposite of which DC hero who embodies truth, justice, and the American way?

From Quiz More Color Me Purple: Entertainment

Answer: Superman

Bizarro first appeared in Superboy #68, (October 1958). He lives in Bizarro World and is an imperfect duplicate of Superman, but opposite. Superman has heat vision, freeze breath, and X-Ray vision (blocked by lead), whereas Bizarro has arctic vision, flame breath, and the ability to see through lead but nothing else. There have been multiple versions of Bizarro. Although he originally wore a blue-and-red outfit like Superman's, in the 21st century he has donned shades of purple and violet, with a gold belt and shield. He is sometimes a supervillain and sometimes more of an anti-hero, but always a thorn in Superman's side. A floorless roller coaster, painted purple, is named for Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

5. Which green "Sesame Street" character lives in a trash can with Slimey the worm and Fluffy the elephant?

From Quiz It's Not Easy Being Green

Answer: Oscar the Grouch

Although Oscar's trash can may appear to be a normal sized trash can, it is far, far bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, housing a farm, a swimming pool and a bowling alley. Oscar was originally orange in the first season of "Sesame Street" in 1969 but changed to his green colour in between seasons one and two, after visiting Swamp Mushy Muddy.

6. Who played Hal Jordan aka 'Green Lantern' in the 2011 film of the same name?

From Quiz The Light Is Always Green

Answer: Ryan Reynolds

Several superheroes have fought evil under the name of Green Lantern, having been chosen by a magic ring, and Hal Jordan - played by Ryan Reynolds - is the Green Lantern who appears in the 2011 film. He is a test pilot and a member of the Justice League. The ring enables him to fly, creates energy swords and shields, and is powered by Jordan's imagination and willpower. The film also featured Peter Saarsgaard as the mad scientist Hector Hammond, and Mark Strong, Geoffrey Rush and Michael Clarke Duncan as fellow Green Lantern Corps members Sinestro, Tomar-Re and Kilowog.

7. The song "A Whiter Shade of Pale" was released in 1967 by what band?

From Quiz White in Entertainment

Answer: Procol Harum

The lyrics to "A Whiter Shade of Pale" were written by band member Keith Reid. Litigation arose between two band members over royalties for composing the music. Originally Gary Brooker received the royalties, but was sued by organist Matthew Fisher. Ultimately in 2009 the House of Lords ruled in Fisher's favor.

8. What colour was the moon that Nick Drake sang about in a studio album released in 1972?

From Quiz A Potpourri of Colours to Entertain You

Answer: Pink

'Pink Moon' (released 1972) was Nick Drake's third and final album before he died of an overdose of anti-depressants at the age of 26. His first two albums were 'Five Leaves Left' (released 1969) and 'Bryter Layter' (released 1971).

9. In the British pre-school television show "Teletubbies" which of the main characters is red?

From Quiz Come On You Reds

Answer: Po

"Teletubbies" first aired on BBC2 in Britain on 31st March 1997.

28. Written by Baroness Emma Orczy, the stage adaptation of this work, which later became a novel and several films as well, premiered in 1903 in England. What is its title?

From Quiz Entertain Me with Colour

Answer: The Scarlet Pimpernel

This play, based on the novel of the same name by Baroness Orczy, was not a success initially. With a rewritten last act, however, it took off, and it and the novel became such a success that Fred Terry, the actor who played the daring Pimpernel, continued to act in that role for the rest of his life. The storyline is set during the period of the French Revolution. The English hero of the work, Sir Percy Blakeney, in his secret disguise of the Scarlet Pimpernel, daringly rescues many people doomed to have their heads lopped off by the guillotine. To protect his identity, he adopts the daily persona of a somewhat dim-witted man about town who has become everything his wife dislikes. She of course has no idea as to his secret life, but when she finally learns of his identity, she rushes to save him from an act of betrayal, swoons in his arms, they fall in love once more and all ends most unrealistically, but very satisfactorily, ever after. This play was accepted as a work while its author was still awaiting a decision on its publication as a novel, but it was the play that was first presented to the public. Such was its popularity that it generated enormous sales of the follow up novel.

The stage name Bobby "Blue" Bland is catchy. Much better, I think, than plain Robert Bland would have been.
