| "Chris F.A. Johnson" <cfajohnson@cfaj.ca>: Feb 08 02:24PM -0500 My apologies for the tardiness in posting this quiz; I have just moved and don't have an internet connection yet. This is a before and after quiz: each question has two parts; the last word of the answer to the first part is the first word of the answer to the second part. One point will be awarded for each part correctly answered. One part will be a movie title; the other is the title of a book (or other literary work). Of course, the other part may also be a book or a movie, too. A leading article (A, An or The) may be omitted from the second part or it may be part of the overlap. Example: A 1939 blockbuster directed by Victor Fleming; a children's book by Kenneth Graham. Answer: Gone with the Wind in the Willows Please answer these questions based only on your own knowledge; put all of your answers in a single posting, quoting the question before each one. In case of a tie, the winner will be the person who answered the hardest questions. Answers must be posted by midnight on Monday, February 15 (by Toronto time, GMT-5). If my internet connection is up at that time, I may start scoring immediately; if not, I won't get to it until some hours later. In that case, I'll accept late entries. (But don't count on it!) 1. A 1999 film starring Toby Maguire, Charlize Theron and Michael Caine; a 1989 Lucas Davenport novel by John Sandford 2. A 1946 Frank Capra movie starring James Stewart and Donna Reed; a 2001 novel by Yann Martel 3. Harrison Ford is the President of the USA in this 1997 movie; Jack Reacher wants to see a man convicted, but instead proves his innocence 4. 1980 comedy starring Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton and Jane Fonda; Jules Verne novel in which the characters are blown away 5. 1935 movie in which Errol Flynn and Basil Rathbone have a swordfight; the first Terry McCaleb novel by Michael Connelly 6. 1978 movie in which men did not travel to Mars; Brother Cadfael deals with 95 bodies instead of 94 in this Ellis Peters novel 7. Bill Pullman is POTUS when aliens invade Earth; an assassin is hired by the OAS to kill Ge Gaulle in Frederick Forsythe's novel 8. Woody Harelson and Antonio Banderas are boxers in this 1999 film; in Jeffery Deaver's novel, Lincoln Rhyme is a quadriplegic forensics specialist 9. A Sherlock Holmes novel; Fay Dunaway plays Milady in this spoof of Dumas's book 10. Truman Capote, Peter Falk, Alec Guiness, Elsa Lanchester, David Niven and others star in this 1976 murder mystery spoof; Willy Loman is the title character in this Arthur Miller play -- Chris F.A.
