Discover the strange and wonderful world of movies in all their bizarre and glamorous glory with this incomparable collection of fascinating film facts.

Who played a character called Professor Eustace P McGargle? Where does popcorn come from? What fruit was used for the stabbing sounds in Psycho's shower scene? Who did one-armed press-ups while collecting his Oscar? Who was the first film star to appear on a postage stamp? Why do all American movie phone numbers start with 555? Now let the opening credits roll.
