Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Any quiz on movies of Africa must start with "Tarzan, The Ape Man" (1932). Who played him?

Answer: Johnny Weissmuller

Famed swimmer Johnny Weissmuller was perhaps the best in a role that has been played by MANY actors. (Several films over the years for Weissmuller in the role.) Based on the writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

2. Another early African adventure was "Stanley and Livingstone". Which of the following statements is accurate?

Answer: Spencer Tracy played Stanley

Tracy plays the man who made the trek into Africa to find Livingstone. Not bad.

3. Who was NOT in the cast of "Mogambo"?

Answer: Robert Ryan

Gable contends with savvy Gardner and prim Kelly. No Ryan in this one.

4. Who starred in "King Solomon's Mines" in 1950?

Answer: Stewart Granger

Not a particularly good effort. With Deborah Kerr. Chamberlain played the Granger character, Allan Quatermain, in an even worse movie.

5. Who starred in "Hatari!"?

Answer: John Wayne

Yes, he made movies other than westerns.

6. More recently, "I Dreamed of Africa" starred what actress?

Answer: Kim Basinger

Africa looks even better in color.

7. "Out of Africa" teamed Robert Redford with Meryl Streep. Who directed them?

Answer: Sydney Pollack

"Best movie" Oscar. (Slow year?)

8. Who starred in "Africa, Texas Style"?

Answer: Hugh O'Brian

O'Brian is best known for his role as cowboy Wyatt Earp in the TV series of the same name, so I suppose this makes sense.

9. "Something of Value" is centered around which of the following?

Answer: Mau Mau Rebellion

The Rock Hudson movie (from the Robert Ruark book) deals with the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya.

10. "Cry, The Beloved Country" is also set in Africa. Who was the writer?

Answer: Alan Paton

Young Sidney Poitier in the movie, set in South Africa. (Dinesen is the writer played by Streep in "Out of Africa".)
