"The Movie Timeline is the history of everything, taken from one simple premise: that everything you see in the movies is true -- the real mixes with the fictitious, so long as it's reported in a movie somewhere..."
So says curator Paul Kerensa who is building the ultimate reference source of events made in Hollywood, USA, and world films. For illustration and, of course, educational purposes, here are selected extracts from The Movie Timeline, the year 1942:
- Bialy Hoos of '42 debuts on Broadway (The Producers, 2005)
- Andrew Hagen born (The Godfather trilogy)
- Tom Riddle opens the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets)
- June: The Battle of Midway (Midway)
- July: London - The Blitz (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, 2005)
- December 23: Fielding Mellish's parents start beating him (Bananas)
