I don't think there is enough material to make a split here. If anyone wants to add more on the film, this article could stay as it is and a new film article could be created. The question in such cases is where does the comparison play/film go, which is also an argument for not splitting. I will add the film infobox here, but if there is much more on the film to be added, it can be moved there along with the templates of the talk page. Hoverfish Talk 16:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I concur. The only major difference between the play and the movie is the altered ending (to match Hollywood standards of the time) and casting. I also wish that those who choose to label articles as "needing" or "lacking" something would simply add what they think is missing, instead of labelling. Zephyrad 23:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed the split tag. My original intent was to go with the trend to create separate articles for Broadway plays and the films based on them if both were deemed to be significant works in their own right. Perhaps that doesn't apply in this case. Alan Smithee 05:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, since play and musical articles do not follow the same guidelines with film articles, it is good and wise at some point to split, so that each can develop in its own style. The only thing is that enough specific information has to gather before this can be achieved. As for Zephyrad's wish, it's often mine too, but please consider that an editor doing regular maintenance rounds may well be going through 30-60 articles per round, so these tags are the only practical way to react.
