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] Split the article between book & film

There are significant differences between the BOOK and film, and each has achieved distinction in its respective medium - the book was quite celebrated when it was first published but today this is somewhat overshadowed by the film version's Oscar achievements. To keep the line between fact and fiction from being blurred, as well as preserve their identities, I split the the two.
