[edit] blurb for DYK

Did You Know

...that the Caribbean Club in Key Largo, Florida was built by former millionaire promoter Carl Graham Fisher as "a poor man's retreat" and became famous as a filming site for the 1947 film Key Largo starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall?

Who actually described it as "a poor man's retreat." ? I'm loath to remove the phrase, as it got into DYK, but it is implied that it is a quote, although we are left to ponder who by and when. Could we have a source? 09:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC) (Skittle)

Also, I see my change of "considered a genius as a promoter" to "considered a skillful promoter" got reverted without any explanation. Now, I'm aware that there are some fans editing here, but the 'considered' is simply weasel words to allow the NPOV 'genius' through. If this doesn't get rewritten in a NPOV way (eg, "Blah Blah considered him "a genius promoter" (link)"), I will change this back tomorrow. 57.66.51.165 16:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC) (Skittle)

[edit] Defining Carl Fisher

In the WP Featured Article Carl G. Fisher, you will find good references and quotations for the various descriptons of the interesting man used in this article. The reader of the Fisher article will note that he had a very successful career with many projects, and even after his finances were largely destroyed, he continued working in promotion. His shortcoming are also mentioned, so any favorably sounding POV aspects are balanced in the overall. Vaoverland 10:25, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
