Barkleys of Broadway Trivia...
...as prepared by SassyGinger (a.k.a. Katie)... a first here at
Gingerology... a contributing editor!!! Which is more than fine with
me...especially when the contribution is so great! Hope you enjoy the
trivia of Ginger and Fred's last motion picture together, which will air
on TCM in a few hours... Good Luck! -VKMfan
Oh boy would I love to have been a fly on the wall that day!
The Barkleys of Broadway is the last of the Ginger and Fred musicals but the only one in Technicolor, and defintely a departure from the rest of the series but a good time! Here are some questions about the film, arranged chronologically as you watch the film.
Here we go!
#1 What is the name of the musical number shown under the opening credits (but can be seen in its full glory as part of Thats Entertainment 3)
#2 According to the curtain call speech, how many shows have Josh and Dinah done together?
#3: How many shows has Ezra done without Josh and Dinah (and how many were flops?)
#4: In which scene did Josh say Dinah could have gotten a little more out of (Jacques disagrees with Josh)
#5: At the party, Ezra is looking for a young lady...what is her name?
#6: What song is Ezra hoping the crowd requests?
#7: When the Barkleys return home, Josh is looking for the cigarette lighter...where does he find it?
#8: What role did Dinah play in high school?
#9: What is the name of the show Josh and Dinah are starring in (this question may have two answers...there is a sign outside the box office window but it is a different name than in the newspaper headline)
#10: Josh is obviously attracted to Dinah's new understudy....and watches her leave. How does Dinah get his attention?
#11: At the gallery, the Barkleys view their portrait, Josh is shaped as a ______ _____
#12: Before the show, Shirlene comes back and asks Dinah what makeup base she uses. What number is it?

#19: When Dinah is playing sick, she says she has never felt like this before. What conclusion does Josh jump to?
#20: Dinah hides "The Young Sarah" script she is reading from Josh by throwing a pillow over her lap. What is she reaching for in her pocket that causes Josh to discover the script?
#21: During the photo shoot, the photographer asks Dinah to feed Josh something...what is it?
#22: WHATS MISSING? Josh is taking a swing at what kind of shoes?
#23: During "The Young Sarah" rehersals how many other actors are on the stage with Dinah?
#24: When "Jacques" calls Dinah at her hotel, he requests that she not be so_________

Im still waiting for The Barkleys of Broadway to start...for me, An American In Paris just started so I still have quite a while to wait. When I watch it though I am going to try and pay close attention and see which questions I can answer after.- Well, there WERE some video clips that were supposed to go along with this post, but I could not get them to work when I moved the info into the post...I am pretty bad when it comes to figuring out how to do stuff like that... but as I told SG, it will just make it more 'challenging' to watch the whole movie, then go back and try to answer everything... she did a killer job!!!
VKMfan -
Did you try to answer the questions without looking? How'd you do?
Thanks for posting this - it was a lot of fun! Don't worry about the video clips...guess it wasn't meant to be. My original post when I set up a draft over at my blog seemed to work beautifully - oh well.
Still trying to figure out the picture of Fred between the two girls...must have been quite a number. I think I figured it out! Maybe Shirlene goes on after Josh and Dinah break up and Shirlene goes on but Dinah changes her mind and poor Fred gets stuck in the middle. I just want to know what kind of number that would have been!- ...actually I did mediocre...but did not watch the movie beforehand, either...
Not sure if the pic in question is actually a clip from the film, a cut scene (could be), or just a 'promotional pic' for the movie... Fred is in a heap of trouble, tho... he ends up on the correct situation, tho! - Well they certainly went through a lot of work for a promo pic - those were the days huh? What was the headline? Starring Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire, some chick and Ginger's legs (ticket #1 sold to VKMfan!)
