Here's a rather difficult movie trivia quiz. If you happen to have seen some
of the films in question, those questions won't be too hard. Otherwise,
most of the questions will require a lot of research if you don't know the
answer. Other than the general difficulty of the questions, there are no
common threads. Each question is worth five points, unless otherwise indicated.
Send your answers to me, by mail. I will post scores and answers in about a
month. I probably will not respond individually to postings.

movies, but she didn't star in any of the films. Name the films and the
actresses who played the roles. (6 pts)
