14. Question 2 X and Y used the services of the same laundry man when they were at Prabhat in Pune. One day X found that one of his shirts had been replaced with a different one. On arriving at work, he found the film's young choreographer (Y) wearing his shirt. On being questioned, Y admitted that it was not his shirt, but since he had no other, he was wearing the replacement. This developed into a great friendship, since they were of the same age. They promised each other that, if Y were to turn filmmaker, he would hire X as his hero, and if X were to produce a film then he would use Y as its director. X fulfilled his end of the bargain with A, but still regrets that his friend Y did not. X and Y would make two super-hit films together, A, and B.

The director and lead actor of the movie never made another movie together in spite of the movie’s resounding success because they feared their subsequent movies wouldn’t be so good. Producer Feroze Khan wanted the movie to be remade in Hindi with the same actor and director, but they both refused. The movie, in which Feroze Khan cast his close friend VinodKhanna, is remembered today for a very different reason. When the director of the original was asked of what he thought of the remake, he replied, “I think they missed the point”, a view that has since also been echoed by the actor.

He had previously met with critically acclaimed French director Jean Renoir while the latter was scouting for locations for his movie The River.

20. Question 8 X was born to Karin, a nurse, and Erik, a Lutheran minister. X grew up surrounded by religious imagery and discussion. His father was a conservative parish minister with strict parenting concepts. X was locked up in dark closets for "infractions" like wetting the bed. X wrote in his autobiography LaternaMagica, "While father preached away in the pulpit and the congregation prayed, sang, or listened, I devoted my interest to the church’s mysterious world of low arches, thick walls, the smell of eternity, the colored sunlight quivering above the strangest vegetation of medieval paintings and carved figures on ceilings and walls. There was everything that one’s imagination could desire — angels, saints, dragons, prophets, devils, humans.“Though he was raised in a devout Lutheran household, X later stated that he lost his faith at age eight years, and only came to terms with this fact while making Y.

25. Question 13 "I wanted to play it with an economy of words and create this whole feeling through attitude and movement. It was just the kind of character I had envisioned for a long time, keep to the mystery and allude to what happened in the past. It came about after the frustration of doing Rawhide for so long. I felt the less he said the stronger he became and the more he grew in the imagination of the audience.” Who talking about what?

26. Question 14 X took nearly 14 years to shoot because of a change in relationship between A, the lead actress and the director, B. A and B were married when Xwas first conceived.

The film was shown for several months at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque in 1988, shortly after the outbreak of the First Intifada and aroused considerable interest and public attention. In general, Left-wing commentators used the film to bolster their argument that attempts to subdue the Palestinians by brute force were futile and that Israel had to end its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, while right-wingers asserted that Israel's situation vis-a-vis these territories, forming a territorial continuity with pre-1967 Israel, was not comparable to ______ and ______ which are separated by the Mediterranean. The comparison of Israel's situation with the ________ War continued to crop up in the Israeli political debate also after the film ceased to be shown, and remains a recurrent topic up to the present.

31. Question 19 Identify the movie from the poster.

32. Question 20 Cary Grant's character is wearing a woman's marabou-trimmed négligée, and when asked why replies, in an exasperated tone, “______________________!", leaping into the air on the word “_____". It is not certain if the word was used by Grant with the same connotations as it has today. The word apparently was an ad-lib by Grant. According to Vito Russo, the script originally had Grant's character say "I... I suppose you think its odd, my wearing this. I realize it looks odd... I don't usually... I mean, I don't own one of these." Russo suggests that this indicates that people in Hollywood, at least in Grant's circles, were already familiar with the slang connotations of the word. However, neither Grant himself nor anyone involved in the film ever suggested this.
