CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE
ABOUT THE FILM
Catch Me If You Can is a 2002 biographical crime film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr. The movie follows the young con artist, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, as he successfully impersonates various professionals, including a pilot, doctor, and lawyer, all while forging checks worth millions of dollars. Tom Hanks stars as Carl Hanratty, an FBI agent relentlessly pursuing Frank. The film explores themes of deception, identity, and the complexities of trust, blending suspense with moments of humor and emotional depth as the cat-and-mouse chase unfolds.
TRIVIA SAMPLES:
“Cameo Appearance: The real-life Frank Abagnale, Jr. plays the French officer who arrests Frank on Christmas Eve, 1969.”
“The FBI agent that pursued Frank Abagnale, Jr., and inspired the character of Carl Hanratty was Joe Shea. Frank Abagnale used the pseudonym "Sean O'Reilly" in his book because Joe Shea was still working in the FBI at that time.”
“Contrary to what is shown in the movie, Frank Abagnale never had a personal relationship with any FBI agents, nor did he contact them every Christmas. As he points out, "Why would I do that? I didn’t want them to know where I was."
“Initially, Frank Abagnale didn’t believe Leonardo DiCaprio was "suave" enough to portray him, until he saw the actor's performance.”

Richie Beirach, Michael Lake

For the first time, renown player and educator Richie Beirach puts in print his five decade long experiences as both a student and instructor of jazz.  
Performer, author, and teacher, Michael Lake, collaborates with Richie to produce this honest no-holds bared examination of how jazz is taught and learned. 
Discover the 100-year evolution of jazz education, the makings for an effective teacher, the realities of a university education and how best to choose the right school, the mindset and technologies available to elevate musicians in their pursuit of jazz, the psychological process of learning a complex skill like music, and the future these two passionate jazz advocates see for this music. 
“Richie’s thoughts within this book are as tight as usual. He positions himself in a way that could be construed as argumentative on several subjects but always thought-out and logical (as he is musically as well.)  
The mentors description with Richie as the centerpiece are historical in their implications considering the learning on the job atmosphere that our generation reveled in.  
Richie discusses the workings of the present situation in higher learning and future remedies that could be applied. The book is strongly optimistic and will inspire readers to think deeply about the legacy of jazz education.”
