Seriously, this question was from one of those sites that gives you points for visiting web sites, taking surveys, buying products, etc. One way that you can earn points is answering a daily multiple-choice trivia question. Normally, I try to find the answer myself by using search engines or encyclopedias. For a question like this, the first place I would turn is the Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com), which may just be the best site for movie trivia. However, I didn't find the answer there, and I felt that trying to find the answer with search engines would just lead me on a wild goose chase. I probably should have tried search engines anyway, but I was feeling lazy yesterday, so I e-mailed this list to see if anone else knew the answer. I figured that many of you would know more about 1960's cinema than I do, since I wasn't even alive in 1960. By the way, this isn't the first time I sought the answer to a trivia question online. A couple of months ago, I asked about a Norman mailer quotation, because search engines were leading me nowhere. Someone else found a web site with the correct answer by using more key words than I had used. Thanks to the person, I am now more specific when I use search engines. Andrew
