TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

When the forest that Max Reinhardt designed could not be lit properly, cinematographer Hal Mohr thinned the trees slightly, sprayed them with aluminum paint and covered them with cobwebs and tiny metal particles to reflect the light. As a result, he became the first (and only) write-in winner of an Academy Award.

Mickey Rooney broke his leg during filming, and was wheeled around behind bushes on a bicycle during filming. He was doubled by George P. Breakston in many scenes.

James Cagney's daughter, Cathleen Cagney, has said when she was a child and saw this movie, she was so upset by the scene where her father is turned into a donkey, that they had to bring James out to calm her down.

First released at 132 minutes but then trimmed to 117 minutes for its general release. The full 132 minute version wasn't seen again until it turned up on cable television in 1994.

The production utilized 67 tons of trees, 1500 lbs of rubber, 600,000 yards of cellophane and 650,000 candles.

Popular Dialogues

"Hermia, in Love with Lysander: [to Helena] How low am I, you painted maypole? Speak! How low am I? I am not yet so low but that my nails can reach into your eyes!"

"Demetrius, in Love with Hermia: [Puck is leading Demetrius astray through a fog] Lysander! Speak again! You runaway. You coward. Are you fled? Puck: You coward! Are you bragging to the stars? Telling the bushes that you look for wars, and wilt not come?"
