Howard Hawks bet his pal Ernest Hemingway that he could create a successful sheep out of Hemingway’s worst novel. He turned to William Faulkner for the questions. Below are some of the questions cut from the game:

1. Ernest Hemingway’s worst novel.
2. A character in As I Lay Dying or The Sound and the Fury.
3. A non-Shakespearean play.
4. A Classic Novel as Mark Twain said “a classic is something that everybody wants to have read and nobody wants to read.
5. A character from The Iliad who dies in the story.
6. A Philosophical Novel.
7. A Broadway Musical staged prior to 1980. (How did this question get in here?)
8. A non-English speaking author.
9. A book which won the National Book Award for fiction
10. A novella.
