Ten Film Lovers Trivia Quiz

Answer: Lara Antipova

Set against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution, young Yuri Zhivago (Omar Sharif) finds himself in love with two women: his wife Tonya (Geraldine Chaplin) and Lara Antipova (Julie Christie), whose path crosses his several times. Their passion, initially suppressed because of Yuri's love for Tonya, eventually overwhelms them.

Their relationship is formed as much by the chaos around them as by their own decisions, and the times they can share are all the more intense for it.

Answer: Jenny Cavalleri

Whether it is the inane, but totally memorable line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry", which Jenny (Ali McGraw) says to Oliver (Ryan O'Neal) after one of their disagreements (and repeated by Oliver to Jenny's father after her death), or the schmalzy theme song (later a big hit when it was recorded, with added words, by Andy Williams), or the classic disinheritance scene followed by the young lovers determining to make it on their own, there's surely something in this movie to make you either cry or retch, depending on the level of your cynicism.

Answer: Ilsa Lund

If you don't already know about this classic pair, you probably haven't watched any movies from the classic era of Hollywood films. Rick Blaine (Humphrey Bogart) runs a cafe in Morocco, where his former lover Ilsa (Ingrid Bergman) appears, in the process of helping her husband escape from the Nazis.

His love leads him to help them, swallowing the bitterness he had exhibited earlier, despite his obvious wish that she could stay with him instead.

Answer: Sandy Olsson

Danny (John Travolta) and Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) find that their summer romance is extended when they end up spending their senior year in the same high school, as her parents decide not to return to Australia after all. Set in the 1950s, the film portrays a more idyllic and upbeat teenage life than the musical, which shows more of the darker sides of the gangs and peer pressure.

The big number "You're the One That I Want" features Danny, Sandy, and both the T-Birds (boys) and Pink Ladies (girls).

Answer: Maria Kutschera

The surname of Maria (Julie Andrews) is not mentioned in the film, but before she married Georg (Christopher Plummer), that was her maiden name. Theirs is not the only love story in the movie, of course - his daughter Leisl is very much in love with a young lad named Rolfe, but that ends badly.

The youngsters describe their feelings early in the film in "Sixteen Going on Seventeen", while the older couple display their feelings for each other in the duet "Something Good".

Answer: Eliza Dolittle

Based on a play by George Bernard Shaw (but with a Hollywood ending instead of his more pragmatic one), this movie tells the story of an arrogant linguist (Rex Harrison) who teaches a Cockney flower-seller (Audrey Hepburn) how to appear to be a "proper lady" and move through high society.

In the process, he discovers something about what it means to be a really fine person, as opposed to one who meets superficial judgmental criteria.

Answer: Juliet Capulet

Shakespeare's young couple, who will sacrifice anything (including their lives, unfortunately) for the sake of their love, have been the subject of several movies, including the one directed in 1968 by Franco Zeffirelli which starred Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey.

It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Film, the last Shakespearian adaptation to achieve that status in the 20th Century. The Prologue was narrated by Laurence Olivier, who just happened to be in the area of the filming, and offered his services on the spur of the moment.

Answer: Bonnie Parker

Warren Beatty played Clyde Barrow and Faye Dunaway was Bonnie Parker in the biographical crime film "Bonnie and Clyde", directed by Arthur Penn. Set in the Depression of the 1930s, it explores the motives that led these two, who meet when he is trying to steal her mother's car, into a life of crime to provide some excitement in their lives.

Their criminal career was short but spectacular.

Answer: Alexandra Feodorovna

"Nicholas and Alexandra" starts with the 1904 birth of their son, whose hemophilia leads Alexandra (Janet Suzman) creates stress in her marriage to Tsar Nicholas (Michael Jayston), and continues through the growing tragedy of their lives that culminates in the death of the entire family at Yekaterinburg in 1918.

The film manages to suggest that their personal lives were the primary force driving the Russian Revolution, but the historical inaccuracy does not lessen the romantic grandeur of the film.

Answer: Lois Lane

In this second film from the "Superman" franchise, Clark (Christopher Reeve) reveals his secret identity to Lois (Margot Kidder), and then sacrifices his superpowers in order to be closer to her. Unfortunately, the world is invaded by criminals who had been banished from Krypton, and who therefore have the same powers as Superman had previously possessed. To save the world, he needs to restore his powers, and then removes the memory of his identity from Lois's mind, so by the end things are pretty much the same as they were at the start.
