10. Can you identify the correct title of this classic movie? 'There are those who prefer heaps of jalapeño' Hint: 'Nobody's perfect' (1959)

From Quiz 'The Sheep are Quiet': Movies in Other Words 2

Answer: Some Like It Hot

Synopsis: Two fugitive musicians (Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon), who inadvertently witness a Chicago gangland massacre, impersonate women in an all-girl band to escape the 'mob'. They're befriended by a lonely vocalist (Marilyn Monroe), with whom the Curtis character becomes besotted. In turn, Lemmon is pursued by satchel-mouthed veteran Joe E Brown. When the gangsters are routed and all is revealed at the Miami denouement (Lemmon: 'But Osgood, I'm a man!'), Brown utters the immortal final line of the movie expressed in the hint. Noted for first depicting men in drag to wide acceptance and commercial success, it was a death knell for the sanctimonious grip of the Hays motion picture code. It also established the versatile Curtis as a romantic-comedy leading man after making his name in a cringeworthy series of matinee swashbucklers in the mid-50s - medieval knights and coiffed crusaders with a thick Bronx accent - spare me! In a key beach scene, Curtis gives a passable Cary Grant imitation - given some of his past performances, who knew? Trivia: Marilyn's pill-popping and erratic behavior on set were by now notorious. Lemmon and Curtis are said to have bet on how many takes she would need to complete a given scene; the film was shot in black and white against the trend for major films of the time because, according to director Billy Wilder, Curtis and Lemmon looked 'unacceptably grotesque' in color. Ergo, they look 'acceptably grotesque' in this?

11. Can you guess the correct movie title? 'Hoosier of possible Welsh descent visits a fateful place of worship' Hint: Spielberg (1984)

From Quiz 'The Sheep Are Quiet': Movies in Other Words

Answer: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Yes, that sweaty, ophidiophobic, two-fisted archaeologist and master of numerous dead languages and deadpan wisecracks in the face of deadly peril, Henry Watson Jones Jr. Jones is simply Johnson in Welsh. The etymology of 'Hoosier' (resident of Indiana) is uncertain. Using states for nicknames seems to be a mainly American predilection - I've never heard of an East-Anglia Eastwood, Ontario O'Hara or Queensland Quinn, but we have Tennessee Williams, Minnesota Fats, Washington Irving, and Louisiana May Alcott - wait ... what? This was the second instalment of Stephen Spielberg's hugely successful tribute to the 'matinee cliffhanger' genre which had inspired his youthful moviemaking ambitions. It's ostensibly a prequel to 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' set in 1935. This outing was widely criticized for excessive violence and offence to Hindus, causing outrage in India. Synopsis: Intrepid Indy (Harrison Ford) together with his 11-year-old sidekick Shorty Round (Ke Quan) and current flame Willie Scott (Kate Capshaw) find themselves in remote northern India, arriving in characteristic fashion by burning plane and inflatable raft down a raging rapid, while on the run from Chinese gangsters. The trio is drawn into mysterious village child kidnappings and the theft of a sacred temple stone. Investigations lead them deep under a mountain to the heart of a horrific human-sacrifice cult practising child slavery. After numerous obligatory escapes from the jaws of death (a riproaring underground railroad chase, climbing a cliff above crocodile-infested waters, while shot at by Thuggee archers, among others), they succeed in destroying the cult, freeing the children and returning the sacred stone.
