Answers to More Movie Trivia for Union Suit Fans - Updated November 2nd.

View these spring-time scenes of a college student stripping to his union suit to cool off:

 







Now answer the following questions to win Movie Trivia! You can do this: Your answers are in blue. This Triivia was pretty tough / Final answers are in Red:

Name the 1980's film these scenes are taken from? 

     Yentl is correct, Lonestar Mike, and you are close in saying you believed the movie came out in 1984, but not quite that year. Almost.

And, Mandy Patinkin is not the actor portrayed in his union suit in the scenes I have depicted herein. Patinkin played Avigdor and he had on a lot less than his long underwear when he appeared down at the swimming hole in this film! 


What person was the star, director, co-producer, and co-writer of the screenplay of this movie? Barbara Streisand. Thanks Scott of Scottsdale

What was the major production company?

United Artists. Thanks Chase of Monroe, LA

When was the release date?  November 16, 1983. Nailed it, Thanks Scott

Three Bonus questions:  take a look at this Yeshiva student who had undressed down to his hat and union suit for a cool swim....

Who is this actor and what was his name in this film?

Oops, not one guesser got these: Allan Corduner is the student at the swimming hole in his long underwear. He played Shimmele.

What does "Yeshiva" mean?

Literally, yeshivah is "the act of sitting" which for Jewish students and scholars means "the act of studying." A Yeshiva is a Jewish school, typically for boys especially in older times, that focuses on the intensive review of the Torah and Talmud, sacred texts.

  5. I agree Streisand starred in this movie where she pretends to be a boy in order to attend college when girls were not allowed. She cut her hair short, wore boys clothing and she too wore boy’s union suits as seen when she was being fitted for a suit in a tailor’s shop.
