Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. 'Gone With The Wind': Often considered to be the best movie of all-time. What was distinctive about Rhett's lady friend, Belle?

Answer: Her hair color

Bright red hair. What can you say about the movie that hasn't been said before?
2. Western: 'Shane'. Who played the role of a 'bad guy' who changes his way toward the end of the movie?

Answer: Ben Johnson

Veteran Western star Johnson repents at the end and helps Shane after Palance shoots Cook . Excellent movie. I give the edge to it over 'High Noon'.
3. Musical: West Side Story'. Who played the nasty cop?

Answer: Simon Oakland

Glass was the storeowner. Tamblyn was 'Riff'. Chakiris was 'Bernardo'. Everything was well-done. ('Cabaret' had great music, but the story was so-so.)
4. Swashbuckler: 'Adventures of Robin Hood'. How is Robin Hood lured into a trap?

Answer: Archery Contest

In order to win a golden arrow from Maid Marian (Olivia de Havilland). Great fun. Slight edge over 'Ivanhoe' and 'Captain Blood'.
5. Sci-Fi: 'Time Machine'. Who plays Rod Taylor's loyal friend?

Answer: Alan Young

Before 'Mr Ed'. Easy entertainment.
6. Suspense: 'Vertigo'. Where does the story take place?

Answer: San Francisco

Jimmy Stewart pulls Kim Novak out of San Francisco Bay. I give the edge to this over 'Birds', 'Dial M for Murder', To Catch a Thief' and 'North by Northwest'.
7. Fantasy: 'Field of Dreams'. Who plays 'Shoeless Joe'?

Answer: Ray Liotta

A true 'feel-good' movie.
8. Action and Adventure: 'Spartacus'. Who does Spartacus fight in the gladiator arena?

Answer: Woody Strode

Ireland and Stone are fellow gladiators. McGraw plays the evil gladiator 'instructor'. Superbly done.
9. Drama: 'From Here to Eternity'. Which future tv star had a bit part in the movie?

Answer: George Reeves

Reeves (Superman) as a soldier who warns Burt Lancaster about Deborah Kerr. Wonderful {movie;} great job by Clift.
10. Love story: 'Casablanca'. Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet are also in the movie - in which other Bogart film did they play prominent roles?

Answer: Maltese Falcon

It holds up well with time.
