Shouldn't this just be a brief paragraph or two in The Boys from Brazil? --Brion 03:38 Nov 4, 2002 (UTC)

Good idea. KF 03:40 Nov 4, 2002 (UTC)

Probably not since they are not at all the same thing. The film and the book have rather different story lines and the precedent for separating the book and the film is well established hence the standard (movie) disambiguator; ergo they should be disparate articles. I certainly for example wouldn't want to see every detail about every film version of David Copperfield (I think there are about 20!!!) on a page about the novel... Nor do I think that articles about original works of fiction should be cluttered by extensive reference to derivative works. And TBFB (movie) is potentially a bigger article than TBFB (novel) since it has a cult audience. user:sjc

I think the disambiguation pages have a somewhat different function -- compare Casablanca and Casablanca (film). But if you insist. KF 03:47 Nov 4, 2002 (UTC)
