Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

[edit] Copyright?

Does anybody know how this film became P.D.? Did they just fail to renew the copyright (which would have run out under the law then in effect in 1978 if not renewed)? This isn't a case of the studio folding or merging beyond recognition – United Artists is still in business. It would make a great addition to the article and allow us to kill the annoying-but-necessary "Citation needed" tag. Rlquall 02:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht

What is the rationale for the plot being traceable to Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht? I think that is an error and should be removed from the article. The plot of Der Mann, der seinen Mörder sucht has to do with a guy who hires someone else to kill him (suicide by hitman). [1] --Mathew5000 03:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
