| 1972  *A little trivia ... Featured in the blockbusting sci-fi The Matrix. It is being shown on TV when Neo visits the Oracle. The music of the film is also listed in The Matrix soundtrack. Paul Fix and DeForest Kelley had both portrayed chief medical officers of the USS Enterprise on Star Trek (1966). Fix played Dr. Piper in the pilot, Where No Man Has Gone Before (1966), and was succeeded by Kelley's Dr. McCoy, aka "Bones," for the remainder of the series. This was DeForest Kelley's final non-"Star Trek" film. | |

| 1980  *Trivia: George Lucas loved the old Universal Flash Gordon serials as a kid, and wanted to make a modern version based on the original comic strips. Federico Fellini was optioning the rights at the time, so Lucas wrote Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) instead. | |

| 1958  *Trivia*: Ernest Hemingway was initially involved in the production, although the extent of his participation after selling his book's film rights to Warner Bros. was to go marlin fishing off the coast of Peru to try to find a fish suitable for use in the film. In the end, the producers used a rubber marlin and stock footage of marlin fishing in which Hemingway didn't participate. After seeing the film, Hemingway expressed his disappointment, remarking that Spencer Tracy looked less like a Cuban peasant fisherman than the rich actor he was. Nevertheless, Tracy earned an Oscar nomination for the role. | |

|  *Trivia* As a way of bypassing the Production Code (i.e. censors), "MGM" created "Premiere Productions". This was a dummy company which had no agreement or affiliation with the Production Code and, therefore, did not have to adhere to its standards. "MGM" did not have to cut the full frontal nudity or other sexually explicit scenes and maintained all rights to the film. When the film opened to rave reviews and excellent box office, this defeat was considered the final blow for the Production Code's credibility and was replaced with a ratings system less than two years later. Because the film did not open with a studio logo, the version shown on Turner Classic Movies has a Warner Bros. logo at the start, it being the current owner of the film. | |

|  *Trivia* The events on which the film is based took place at the same prisoner of war camp (Stalag Luft III) and at the same time as the events in the much better-known film of the same genre, The Great Escape (1963). The escape committee of prisoners that was planning the latter decided that other escape activity had to be going on at the same time so that life in the camp would appear normal to the Germans. It was the Wooden Horse tunnel that fell into this category. | |

|  It is estimated that the normal rate of verbal dialogue in most films is around 90 words a minute. In His Girl Friday (1940), the delivery has been clocked at 240 words a minute. | |

|  *TRIVIA* Wallace Worsley Jr., son of the film's director, said that many of the extras for the massive crowd scenes were recruited in downtown Los Angeles for $1.00 a night and meals. Among them, he said, were a good number of prostitutes, who did a "considerable sideline business" on the sets. Universal also hired 50 Pinkerton detectives and put them among the crowd, and their job was to catch pickpockets and various other thieves among the extras. | |

|  *TRIVIA* The opening title sequence designed by Saul Bass makes this the first movie to use computer graphics. This movie was unavailable for three decades because its rights (together with four other movies of the same period) were bought back by Sir Alfred Hitchcock and left as part of his legacy to his daughter Patricia Hitchcock. They've been long-known as the "Five Lost Hitchcocks" among movie buffs and were re-released in theatres around 1984 after an approximately thirty-year absence. The others are The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Rear Window (1954), Rope (1948), and The Trouble with Harry (1955). Last edited by imonline on 2024-02-07 12:49:44 | |

|  *TRIVIA* Most of the full-body puppetry was performed by a 2'10" tall stuntman, but the scenes in the kitchen were done using a 12-year-old boy who was born without legs but was an expert on walking on his hands. | |

|  *TRIVIA* Marilyn Harris, who played Maria, the girl The Monster accidentally kills in the original Frankenstein (1931), appears uncredited as another young girl. She is the leader of the group of young schoolgirls who encounter the Monster as he runs away from the blind man's burning house. Director James Whale deliberately gave her a one-word line ("Look!"), so she would be paid more by the studio as an actor with a speaking role, instead of as an extra. | |

|  *Trivia* Released in 1968, the 250th anniversary of the death of the real-life Blackbeard the Pirate, Edward Teach. Although it is considered a minor entry in the Disney catalog, its total gross from the initial release was reportedly over $20,000,000, a very impressive take for the late 1960s. As of January 2024 (I checked) Hank Jones, Joby Baker and Charlie Brill are the only cast members who are still alive. | |
