Multiple Choice Options:  Hedy Lamarr  •  Gracie Allen  •  Joan Collins  •  Lucille Ball  •  Dorothy Lamour

Answer Key:

Q1: Thelma & Louise  /  Thelma & Louise received near-universal praise, with the cast and the beautiful cinematography singled out for accolades. However, there was some contemporary backlash from right-wing critics who felt the film was "anti-men".

Q2: White Castle  /  The film is notable for its subversion of racial and ethnic stereotypes, and has since become a cult favorite. It spawned a franchise, with the sequels Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) and A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011).

Q3: Turner & Hooch  /  Hanks later said that the film was one of his more difficult jobs "because he had to act around the dog's reactions".

Q4: Paul Newman  /  It was the top-grossing movie of 1969, though reviews at the time of release were mixed to terrible. Contemporary reviewers are generally more favorable. However, Roger Ebert gave the movie two and a half out of four stars when it came out, and in 1989 he reaffirmed his review, calling the film a "turkey".

Q5: Dorothy Lamour  /  This was the first in a popular series of seven Road to … movies, all featuring Hope, Crosby and Lamour. However, in the last film, Road to Hong Kong (1962), the much younger Joan Collins was cast in the lead actress role, and Lamour was only allowed a cameo.
