    Comment: Double-check the accuracy of one of the questions in this otherwise engaging quiz. The trivia section of IMDB under "The Manchurian Candidate" correctly states that that movie was in fact, NOT pulled following the shooting of JFK, in 1963. This is a persistent legend, fueled only by its own existence, and contradicted only by the historical facts. Following its full run at movie theaters, "The Manchurian Candidate" turned up twice on the national television networks, by 1965; and continued in wide circulation for nearly a decade, whereupon Frank Sinatra gained distribution rights to the film. IMDB reminds us that only then did the film cease to be distributed effectively.

    Comment: IMDB says that the Manchurian Candidate was NOT pulled at the death of JFK. This is a persistent legend that is contradicted by the facts.
