People Themed Groups Trivia Questions

1. John Wayne's breakthrough role was in a John Ford film, "Stagecoach". What was his character's name?

From Quiz
A Tale of Two Johns

Answer: Ringo Kid

John Wayne was Ringo Kid, a passenger on a stagecoach ride across dangerous territory at a time when Geronimo is on the warpath. A motley crew are assembled together on this trip, including the famous John Carradine, who also featured in Wayne's last film, "The Shootist". "Stagecoach" was made in 1939.

2. Sir Sean Connery - Prior to being cast in "Murder on the Orient Express", Sean Connery had starred in three other films by director Sidney Lumet. Which was the first?

From Quiz Agatha's Knights and Dames

Answer: The Hill

Although Sean Connery became a star playing James Bond, he sought other roles during his period in the role as a means to avoid being typecast. One of the first of these came when director Sidney Lumet cast him in the lead role in his 1965 film "The Hill". The film saw Connery play Trooper Joe Roberts, who is sent to a brutal army prison camp at the end of the Second World War. Connery specifically took the role because it was so different to James Bond; however, his profile enabled the film's producers to find the financial backing for the film to be made. Following "The Hill", Connery and Lumet collaborated on another four films, including the Agatha Christie adaptation "Murder on the Orient Express" in 1974 - Connery was the first actor to be cast, with the director operating on the assumption that casting as big a star as Connery would make it easier to fill the other roles. Sean Connery was appointed as a Knight Bachelor in 2000.

From Quiz African-Americans in Film

Answer: Green Pastures

"The Green Pastures" was a sensation in 1936. It was calculated that the film sold 6000 tickets per hour at its release. Many theaters canceled other films and only ran "Green Pastures" for a year. Viewed through the lens of the twenty first century, racial stereotyping is evident but does provide an insight into the 1930s status of society. One reviewer said the film "recreates various Sunday school stories from the Old Testament that's told in a spirited manner in the lingo of the rural southern Negro". Rotten Tomatoes--86%

From Quiz Towering Infernos of Film

Answer: Deborah Kerr

Nicknamed the "English Rose", Louis B. Mayer of MGM once billed her as "Kerr rhymes with Star". Kerr's ability to draw Oscar nominations should not have come as a surprise.

At the end of the twentieth century, she remained one of only four Scots to have been nominated for an Academy Award in acting, the others being Mary Ure, Tom Conti, and Sean Connery. The roles that earned her the nominations were "Edward, My Son" (1949), "From Here to Eternity" (1953), "The King and I" (1956), "Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison" (1957), "Separate Tables" (1958), and "The Sundowners" (1960).

From Quiz Double Acts on the Silver Screen

Answer: Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy

Stan Laurel (1890-1965) and Oliver Hardy (1892-1957) first worked together in the early 1920s, but officially became a team in 1926. They appeared in 23 full-length movies and about 70 silent and sound 'shorts'. The piano alluded to in the question appeared in one of their best-loved shorts, 'The Music Box', which was about their efforts to deliver a piano. No one had told them the recipient lived at the top of a steep flight of stairs. 'The Music Box' won an Oscar for Live Action Short Film (Comedy) in 1932. The tree is a reference to their song 'The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine' from the 1937 movie 'Way Out West'. Some, but not all, of these questions were suggested by a feature, 'It Takes Two To Tantalise', in 'The Times' in September 1998. How Laurel and Hardy did not make the top 20 list of movie double acts is a bit of a mystery.

21. Who played Septimus Pretorious, the sinister doctor who promised Frankenstein's Monster a mate, in "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)?

From Quiz Doctors In Scary Movies

Answer: Ernest Thesiger

Pen and paper ready, biology students? There are two ways for mad scientists to generate life in the lab: 1) a "dead" approach, and 2) a "natural" approach. The dead approach, pioneered by Dr. Henry Frankenstein, involved putting together a creature form cadaver parts and harnassing lightning to provide the massive jolt of electricity needed to give the creature life. With the natural approach, pioneered by Dr. Pertorious, miniature, perfect people are grown from seeds. Both of these brillant (but slightly mad) doctors combined their talents to make the Frankenstein Monster a mate in "Bride of Frankenstein", the wonderfully dark sequel to "Frankenstein" (1931). Boris Karloff (the Monster) and Colin Clive (his creator) starred in both movies. Showing up in "Bride of Frankenstein" as Dr. P. was Ernest Thesiger, and Elsa Lanchester shrieked her way into horror filmdom fame as the Monster's reluctant bride. (She also played Mary Shelley in the film's opening scene). Ernest Thesiger (1879-1961) made some sixty films in his fifty year career, but it is for his remarkable portrayal of the mad scientist, Dr. Pretorious, in the timeless classic "Bride of Frankenstein", for which he is remembered by new generations of the film's fans.
