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
