Packet 8: Tossup 6
Viktor Skhlovsky wrote a film set during this event in which Alexandra Khokhlova (“COKE-loh-vuh”) plays an Englishwoman who faces the dilemma of executing a murderer; that film set during this event is Lev Kuleshov’s By the Law. A film titled for this non-Russian event, which was voted the world’s second-best film in the first international film poll at Expo 58 in Brussels, was re-released in 1942 with narration by its director and without the kiss on a ship that ends the original. In a film titled for this event, the protagonist dreams about entertaining women at (*) dinner on New Year’s Eve by “dancing” with forks stuck in bread rolls. In that film titled for this event, a big man hallucinates that the protagonist is a huge chicken due to hunger and gets stuck with him in a cabin teetering on a cliff. For 10 points, the Tramp eats a shoe in a Chaplin comedy titled for what event in the Yukon? ■END■
