 Keaton-Henry Winkler comedy about a call girl service they ran from a morgue,
 several years before it became an anthem for the AIDS research movement)

BONUS QUESTIONS:  from the annals of Cinema's Subcutaneous Sibs

B1. What do the following five films have in common?

    a. _The Stratton Story_
    b. _Sunrise at Campobello_
    c. _The Other Side of the Mountain_
    d. _My Left Foot_
    e. _A Brief History of Time_

All five are about real people with disabilities; respectively:  amputee
ballplayer Monty Stratton, U.S. president with polio Franklin Roosevelt,
quadriplegic former Olympic skier Jill Kinmont, author/artist with cere-
bral palsy Christy Brown, and Nobel-winning physicist with ALS Stephen
Hawking.

B2. Which of these five films is the odd-man-out?

    e. _A Brief History of Time_

B3. How does it differ from the others?

It's a documentary, in which Hawking himself appears.  The others are
conventional biopics, with actors playing the subjects (Jimmy Stewart as
Stratton, Ralph Bellamy as Roosevelt, Marilyn Hassett as Kinmont, and
Daniel Day-Lewis as Brown).

SCORING:  One point for each correct match on the main quiz, for a maximum 10;
one point for each _complete, correct_ answer on the bonus questions, for a
maximum 3 (I gave partial credit for partial answers on these).  Congratula-
tions to top scorers Jon Conrad (10+2.5), Mary Shaffer (10+1.5), and
Charles Sroczynski (7).

PAST IMPERFECT:  Through oversight, I failed earlier to report the perfect
scores racked up by Jon Conrad on the Actornet 7 quiz, and by Steve and Kammy
on Actornet 6.
