Format: 16mm
Description: This short film is one of a series entitled "Quicky Quiz!", which were developed and produced by Los Angeles TV personality Jim Hawthorne. Billed as the "TV's biggest, little show", each Quicky Quiz! posed a question for viewers to answer. In this case, the question is "When did the French Navy make a record setting deep sea dive in the bathyscaphe FNRS-3?" If you got the right answer you must be very smart so take a bow! Footage shows the FNRS-3 or FNRS III bathyscaphe being piloted by Georges Houot. Short format shows of this type don't really exist today, but back in the early era of television -- especially during the live era when show lengths were irregular -- programs such as Quicky Quiz! were important to fill dead air. Jim Hawthorne (1918 –2007) was a beloved radio personality, disc jockey and TV comic actor who produced (in addition to Quicky Quiz!) the short format show "Jim Hawthorne's Funny World". He worked for a variety of TV stations including KLAC / Los Angeles Channel 13, where he created the first late evening talk show on television, "This Is Hawthorne."
