Got em all except number 7.

I did not know #12 -- never seen the film. Not sure I've ever heard of it. For #2, I said, "Egyptian." Guess I misinterpreted the word "form" as "style."

The grading scale seems a little soft for this forum.

For 11 why is "Flamingo" the only correct answer?

15. Discard rack. :)

Yes, just as the Introductory Gambling Lessons offered by the casinos are all uniformly rather skimpy.

For 11 why is "Flamingo" the only correct answer?

Yes, he was also associated with the El Cortez. You should give yourself an extra 10 points for that.

Got all of them except 12 #15 could also be discard rack.

I answered the same for #2, oh well.

I only scored 18 points - 3 correct out of each section. My knowledge of American cinema and older pop music is pretty slim :).

I missed most of the cinematic ones. I missed 4 overall.

I'll double or nuttin my extra points if someone can answer what movie did Peter O'Toole sing the answer to #4 and whom did he harmonize?

You mean the flick about Larry and the camel?

I got 18, missed 3 PhD questions, a graduate, and a freshman. I don't know my cinema.

I get to add another doctorate to my wall, just barely. Like my first one.

Quote: Doc

You mean the flick about Larry and the camel?

I always thought they should have gone deeper into the relationship between Larry and the Camel.

Quote: Wavy70

I always thought they should have gone deeper into the relationship between Larry and the Camel.

Well, there was that one scene, in which he's peeking through the window, where I thought they got a little too close to that for my taste.

25 points, which is embarrassing as the two questions I missed pertained to two things I know a fair deal about — physical casino locations (I've never played in Ontario) and cinema (no excuse for the fact that I haven't seen Lost in America, I'm afraid).
