[edit] Based on...?

The article states that the film was "very loosely based on" the novel, but wasn't it in fact more or less an accurate translation of a popular stageplay running at the time? Granted, the play would have been loosely based on the novel, but in the interest of accuracy shouldn't the play be credited as the source? 12.22.250.4 22:51, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

You are right, but that point is clarified further down in the same paragraph. David L Rattigan 09:37, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
