Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When Millie goes up the mountain with Adam, she picks some sorrell to make what for supper?

Answer: nourishing soup

Millie is so excited about starting her new life with Adam that she picks some wild sorrell to make some homemade soup. When she gets to the cabin and meets the rest of the brothers, she comments, "I guess I should have picked more sorrell".
2. During the barn raising sequence, the brothers form a team to try to win the little Brown Swiss heifer. What was the little calf's name?

Answer: Annabelle

The barn dance is the first appearance of the brothers after their transformation. Millie "took a shinin'" to Annabelle, so the Pontipee brothers formed one of the barn raising teams.
3. When Gideon tries to kidnap his sweetheart Alice, he pretends to be the family cat. What is the cat's name?

Answer: Pansy

Gideon does such a poor job of imitating the cat, that the preacher comments that Pansy sounds like she has the croup.
4. In one scene of the movie, one of the actors was not present on the day of the filming, and a red-headed, total stranger appears among the brothers in his place. In which scene does this occur?

Answer: Millie's delivery of her baby

When Millie is upstairs in the house delivering her baby, and the brothers are pacing downstairs, you will see a total stranger pacing in the livingroom. Why doesn't somebody realize there's a stranger in the house? Who is this guy?
5. The brothers sneak in to town to kidnap their girls, and Benjamin pulls his choice right out her bedroom window. This prompts the young woman's father to frantically search for her, and utter the famous line, "Where's _________?"

Answer: Dorcas

As the town is roused from a sound sleep by the ringing of an iron ring, a frantic father, Mr. Gale, rushes forward and yells "Where's Dorcas?". It's so out of sync with the rest of the actors in the scene that it makes a lasting impression on the viewer!
6. During the winter scene where the brothers are dancing their blues away, "pining for their girls", what is the primary implement the Pontipee boys dance with?

Answer: axes

This memorable dancing scene in the snow is complicated by the swinging of long handled axes. It's also interesting to note that the ballet background of the actors playing the role of the brothers makes this scene especially dramatic.
7. Which of the brothers doesn't dance, but just stomps his feet and swings a partner now and then?

Answer: Benjamin

The actor that plays Benjamin rarely dances, and will often be at the edge of the scene, just out of the camera's shot for dancing sequences. The rest of the brothers dance up a storm!
8. The "Sobbin" Women" story related to the brothers by Adam is based on a book written by whom? Hint: It's Millie's favorite story, and excerpts of the book are read throughout the movie.

Answer: Plutarch

Plutarch's story of the Sabine Women is the foundation for the plan the brothers formulate to bring their women up the mountain. It's from a book Millie was given by her parent, which she saved and brought with her when she married Adam.
9. On Millie's first morning in the house, she cooks a bountiful breakfast of eggs, fire potatoes, bacon, biscuits and hot coffee. This meal, however, comes with a price. What does Millie want in exchange for this meal?

Answer: The boy's winter underwear

Millie has already stolen the brothers outer clothes, and has them drying on the line. She offers an exchange of a full breakfast for the boy's winter long johns, which she threatens to come in and get herself!
10. Adam and Millie named their little girl Hannah. According to Adam's parents' wishes, what name would be an option for the next grandchild born?

Answer: Isaac

Adam's parents' (after much discussion) compromised and chose to name their children according to the letters of the alphabet, as long as they were in the Bible. So Isaac would be the next name in line, if the child was a boy.
