Nope. Second hint: it was a comedy.

What decade?
So this thread doesn't die again, I'll give you two more hints ... and one more day before I give away the answer.
(The following combines all the hints given so far)
It was a comedy from the early 1970s, but it was set in Asia in the 1950s. The title was one word, but it was suggestive of four longer words.
This is a famous movie that you've heard of before - you should be able to guess it.

Right!
What was the "Glorious Revolution"?
I'm actually looking for the event in English history called the "Glorious Revolution", Lib. I don't know if there was a French one or not!

This french revolution is called "The Three Glorious" but I thought "Glorious Revolution" was the english name for it. I've looked at my english dictionnary - yes ! I've got one [!--emo&

As there've only been two "Revolutions" in English history, and one resulted in Cromwell and the Protectorate (not glorious at all), I'll have to say it's the 1688 coup led by supporters of William of Orange.
They place Bill the Orange on the throne because he was the husband of the current King James's daughter (or was it sister? I can't remember.) More importantly, William was a Protestant.
It is known as "Glorious' for two reasons: Getting rid of Catholics was always a glorious thing for 17th century Engllishmen, and it was, essentially, a bloodless coup. There was no Terror like in the French Revolution, nor were there great purges like when the Roundheads siezed power in the 1640's.
The reign of William and Mary was the last time the English throne was occupied by twoo monarchs at a time (they were both rulers, as opposed to one being the monarch and the other styled king or queen merely because they were the spouse of said monarch)

I had to look it up, but since y'all had nearly a month to answer and no one did I figured I'd put this question out of its misery.
Union states: Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oregon, California, Nevada. That's 25.
Confederate States: Virginia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas. That's 11.
New question: what was the first movie produced by a major Hollywood studio to contain the word "fuck" in the dialogue?
You're wrong. Virginia, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania are not, nor ever have been states. They are commonwealths.
Therefore, the Union had 22 and the Confederates had 10. (it really was a trick question)

What the hell are you talking about? If Pennsylvania, Virginia and Massachusetts weren't states then there are not 50 but 47 states. If I understood your post correctly you are saying they currently are not states.

They may call themselves Commonwealths, but they are in fact states as far as their status with the US federal government goes. It's all a matter of your point of view.
And if you really want to start nit-picking, you missed a comma, a period and a capital I:

Under the terms of the United States Constitution:
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3:
"The several States...included within this Union...shall have at least one Representative...the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three. "
This sets both legal documentation and precedent for commonwealths (as Massachusetts, Virginia, and Pennsylvania are included here) to be considered States.
HOWEVER!
One can argue that since 11 states and commonwealths were in violation of the US Constitution (Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1: "No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation.") that the whole contract became moot during this period of time, at least for those states. Of course, the CS Constitution lists Virgina as a state as well - but one can continue to argue that since the Confederacy was created illegally (in violation of the US Constitution as listed above) that during the period of time there was ONE Commonwealth officially during the Civil War. Being Virginia.

Legally and practically, there is no difference between the states and commonwealths in the USA. However, MA, PA, KY, and VA are NOT states.
It's a simple fact. I meant the question to be a trick, to see if anyone would be able to combine their knowledge of American history with their knowledge of political stuff...

If legally and practically there is no difference I'm still confused as to why it (the US) says it has 50 states instead of 46 states and 4 commonwealths? Because wether legally or not there is no difference pertaining to rights and obedience to federal law there is still a difference, right?

Ok, either people could care less about random trivia, not be edguy fans or not be Helloween fans. It could also be all of the above.
So since nobody cares to answer I'll just give it away. the three either ex or current members of Helloween who participated in Tobias Sammet's "Avantasia: MOPII" were Kai Hansen in vocals, Michael Kiske also in vocals and Mark Grosskoff (hmm sp?) on Bass.
