Who made the movies we love, and the deals behind them? Questions about directors, composers, writers, studios and the actors behind famous characters.
About this quiz
Every famous film has people behind the camera. This quiz is about them: the directors who shaped blockbusters, the composers whose themes everyone can hum, the writers who created famous stories, the actors who brought well-known characters to life, and the deals that built studios and fortunes.
Good to know: Italian composer Ennio Morricone wrote music for more than 400 films and TV productions, including the classic western The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966).
