NOT ANSWERED YETAs of this writing the "Secret" movies that
have not been correctly named yet in the trivia
quizzes are #2, #6, #13 (two movies)
= six movies. As well, #1, #2 and #3 have not
been answered in the new "other movie trivia"
section.
DOUBLE FEATURETwo movies having Paris as the
setting comprise this double feature
FIRST FEATURE:The movie with Nicole as a singer in 1890s
Paris to me was a more enjoyable movie than
the first movie with the same title as
Nicoles' movie.
SECOND FEATURE:This movie got good reviews but the s** scenes
caused quite a stir. Some consider this movie
Marlon Brandos' greatest performance.
OTHER MOVIE TRIVIA:Today introduces a new feature to the weekly
Friday movie quizzes. From now on besides a
weekly movie double feature to name there will
also be some non movie title trivia questions.
1. Supply the missing letter:
Cary Grant's real last name
began with the letter _?
2. Name the movie star wife of Clark
Gable that died in an airplane crash.
3. True or false:

team with his sister?

CONTEST PRIZES:Every Category winner will receive
the same prize. A personalized movie
trivia software game I made a couple of
years ago. The game won't make
Microsoft jealous, but will provide some
fun to movie fans. The game is a one
or two person player game that features
five hundred questions. The splash screen
will be personalized for the 3 winners with
the name(s) of the winners' choice as
pictured below in the splash screen, which
is displayed when the game is started,
I made for my sister when I made a
personalized version of the game for her.
The game runs strictly on the Windows
operating system and was tested
successfully on Windows 95/98/Me/Xp
which means it probably runs on all
versions of Windows.
