All you have to do to enter the contest is go to your local theatre and ask at the box-office for one of the 32-page, illustrated booklets containing full information about Movie Quiz. The booklet is free. In that booklet you will find a series of "still" pictures depicting one scene from each of the movies in the contest. The name of the movie from which the "still" was taken is clearly indicated. Accompanying each picture is a question concerning the action taking place. Below this question are five answers. One of these answers is correct; the other four are wrong. All you have to do is pick out the correct answer and check it. For instance, take a look at the sample picture accompanying this article.
