Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "The Godfather", Don Corleone tells singer Johnny Fontaine, "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse." To whom will this offer be made?

Answer: A movie studio executive

In a memorable scene from "The Godfather", studio executive Jack Woltz awakens with the severed head of one his racehorses in his bed. This was done to persuade him to give Johnny Fontaine a part in a movie. "Obviously Johnny Fontane was inspired by a kind of Frank Sinatra character," "The Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola said in a commentary on a "The Godfather" Blu Ray disc. Frank Sinatra expressed displeasure with the movie alluding to him.

According to the website "phrases.org.uk", the similar phrase, "I'll make her an offer she can't refuse," is spoken by Jason Roberts in the 1934 film "Burn Em Up Barnes". However, in this case, the offer is money. Could "The Godfather" author Mario Puzo have seen "Burn Em Up Barnes"?
2. In the 1939 "Wizard of Oz", the Wicked Witch of the West peers at Dorothy in her crystal ball and says, "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog, too!" What is the little dog's name?

Answer: Toto

According to "Thevintagenews.com", the character playing the Wicked Witch of the West, Margaret Hamilton, suffered second and third degree burns during the filming of the movie. During a long acting career, she had roles in "My Little Chickadee" and "Brewster McCloud" as well as roles on the stage.

Her final role was that of Thea Taft on the television show "Lou Grant" from 1979 to 1982.
3. Humphrey Bogart playing Sam Spade in "The Maltese Falcon" is asked what the Maltese falcon statue signifies. His answer, "the stuff that dreams are made out of" echoes a line the character Prospero speaks in the play "The Tempest". Who was the writer of "The Tempest?"

Answer: William Shakespeare

According to "ronaldbrichardson.com", this was not a line from the book, "The Maltese Falcon" written by Dashiell Hammett. Rather, it is a line that Humphrey Bogart suggested. "We are such stuff as dreams are made on," opines Shakespeare's character Prospero in his play, "The Tempest".
4. "They call me Mr. Tibbs," Sidney Poitier said to the Sheriff of the town of Sparta, Mississippi during the film "In the Heat of the Night". In which populous mid-western state was much of "Sparta" filmed?

Answer: Illinois

"In the Heat of the Night" won five Academy Awards including Best Actor (Rod Steiger) and Best Picture. In the film, a black detective from Philadelphia, played by Sidney Poitier becomes involved in an investigation in a Southern town. He is forced to work with a less-than-enlightened Southern sheriff played by Rod Steiger. According to the American Film Institute, when Sparta, Illinois was chosen as the principal filming site, the name of the town written in the screen play was changed to Sparta, "allowing the art department to use existing signage and storefronts."
5. "Shane. Shane. Come back!" pleads Joey in the movie 1953 movie "Shane". In 1954, on what quiz show did a blindfolded woman ask Brandon de Wilde, the actor who played Joey, if he was under 40?

Answer: What's My Line

Brandon de Wilde had his New York Broadway debut at age 7. He appeared with Paul Newman in "Hud" and with John Wayne in "In Harm's Way". He continued to have roles in movies and in television until he died in an auto accident at age 30.
6. In the 1930 film "Animal Crackers" Captain Jeffery Spaulding played by Groucho Marx avers, "One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas." What was his somewhat predictable next line?

Answer: How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

At the time of this quiz's writing (2/8/2018), you can purchase officially licensed Groucho Marx glasses that come with attached mustache and eyebrows! At the beginning of Groucho's career, he sported a grease-paint mustache at performances.
7. In "Terminator 2", what does Arnold Schwarzenegger say instead of "Hasta la vista, baby!" in the Spanish language version of the film... baby?

Answer: Sayonara, baby!

Without the hint, this is a candidate question for the obscurity quiz. Or, I could base a question on the Japanese version the Terminator in which the Terminator is purported to say, "Cheerio then, love".
8. In "To Have and to Have Not", Marie (Lauren Bacall) says to Harry (Humphrey Bogart), "If you want anything, just whistle." Writer Howard Hawks took credit for writing the line in the screenplay. The book version of "To Have and Have Not" had been written by one famous author and another renowned author was involved in the screenplay. Who were these celebrated 20th century authors?

Answer: Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner

In his book entitled, "Howard Hawks: Interviews", Hawks takes credit for writing Bacall's line. He credits Faulkner with penning "the stuff that led up to it." At the beginning of the filming, Bogart was 44 years of age and Bacall 19. Bogart divorced his wife and married Bacall, a marriage that lasted until Bogart's death.
9. In the movie, "Cool Hand Luke", Captain (Strother Martin) beats Luke (Paul Newman) following a comment Luke makes. After the beating, Captain speaks his famous line: "What we've got here is failure to communicate." What type of remark by Luke (played by Paul Newman) provokes the beating?

Answer: Sarcastic

"Cool Hand Luke" was released in 1966 and earned Paul Newman an Oscar nomination. George Kennedy received best supporting actor for his role in the film. According to IMDB, the parking meter heads that the criminal Luke cut off during a scene filmed in Lodi were not replaced for "many years." Had the number of years been specified, the temptation to use this factoid as the quiz question might have been overwhelming.
10. What did Mae West, "predictably", promise to do for the man she asked, "come up sometime and see me" in the film "She Done Him Wrong"?

Answer: Tell his fortune

"Why don't you come up and see me sometime?" is described as "widely misquoted" by the "Wikiquote" website. However, Mae West created a song entitled "Come Up and See Me Sometime" that used the phrase repeatedly and may account for the frequent "misquotations".

In the film, she is inviting Captain Cummings (Cary Grant) up to see her. The film was risqué for its time. The League of Decency that came to have a major impact on film content begin in the same year this movie was released.
