Round 9: Tossup 8
Abbey Lincoln posed in an orange dress worn in this film on the cover of Ebony, but then burned it to retaliate against critics of her belief that it over-sexualized her. Bodybuilders and acrobats are extras in a scene in this film that ends with one of its stars being accidentally knocked into a pool. Near the end of this film, one of its stars dances in time with a judge’s gavel and wears a fur coat in a French courtroom to impersonate her friend. This film’s credits occur during its opening duet, “Little Rock.” One of this film’s stars sings “A kiss on the hand / May be quite continental” in a scene that inspired the pink dress in the music video for “Material Girl” by Madonna. For 10 points, in what 1953 Howard Hawks romcom do Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe sing “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend?” ■END■
