About the movie:
A millionaire's grandson mistakes a beautiful female disc jockey for her aunt, who is dating the boy's grandfather.
1.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Something in the Wind (1947)?
a.
To prepare for the role
Johnny Depp
interviewed the real George Jung in prison.
b.
The character of Dr. Van Horn was originally written for novelist
Salman Rushdie
, a good friend of
Paul Auster
. Because the fatwah issued against Rushdie by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989 had not been lifted, production costs would have exploded because of the necessary security to guard Rushdie. The part eventually went to
Willem Dafoe
.
c.
Onscreen death count: 17.
d.
During the press junket for the film, a Universal press agent concocted a fake organization, the National Association of Disc Jockeys, in honor of the fact that Durbin played a DJ. The real DJs invited to the junket liked the idea, and decided to make it a real association.
2.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Something in the Wind (1947)?
a.
Kevin Jarre
s original script for Tombstone was significantly longer than the final film. It was intended to be an epic, detailing the lives of all the combatant parties in the story. After Jarre was fired as director,
George P. Cosmatos
hired
John Fasano
to trim the script to focus primarily on the Earp family (to make the already-delayed shoot more manageable). Fasano received co-author credit in early promotional materials, but his name was removed from the films credits (probably due to Writer Guild arbitration). Instead, Fasano was given an Associate Producer credit.
b.
The line, "Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death," does not appear in the book. It is derived from the stage play, where it was originally, "Life is a banquet and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death." Though "damn" and "hell" are both heard in the film, "sons-of-bitches" was apparently thought too rough.
c.
On December 6, 1946, Universal International announced that this film, which would go before the cameras the following month, was being named "For the Love of Mary." Instead, the studio would hold back using this title until
Deanna Durbin
s last feature in 1948.
d.
The title of the film is a reference to the opening track of
The Hold Steady
s Boys and Girls in America album.
3.
Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Something in the Wind (1947)?

The first film production to be given permission to close down two lanes of traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge.
b.
"The Turntable Song (Round an Round an Round)" (music by
Johnny Green
, lyrics by
Leo Robin
), a chipper swing novelty, became the final hit tune (albeit moderate) from a
Deanna Durbin
movie. Commercial recordings were made by Miss Durbin with Johnny Green and His Orchestra on Decca (from a July 22, 1947 recording session -- Deannas last for the label -- which produced a 78-rpm album of four selections from the Green-Robin score -- the three other tunes being the title number, "Its Only Love" and "You Wanna Keep Your Baby Looking Right");
The Andrews Sisters
with
Vic Schoen
s Orchestra, also on Decca;
The Modernaires
with the
Mitchell Ayres
Orchestra on Columbia -- plus the films title song on the flip side;
Jack Smith
with
Clark Sisters
and Earl Sheldons Orchestra on Capitol;
Sammy Kaye
and His Orchestra, featuring vocalists
Don Cornell
, Laura Leslie and The Kaydets, on RCA Victor; plus
Four Chicks and a Chuck
with the Jack Miller Orchestra on MGM Records.
c.
In an early version of the script, an ongoing story line was Tom Hagen having an affair with Sonny Corleones widow. This was later discarded, but the line where Michael Corleone tells Hagen that he can take his "wife, children and mistress to Las Vegas" was kept.
d.
Though in the novel the character of Catherine Barkley is described as very tall, actress
Helen Hayes
is a mere five feet tall.
