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.

A Film infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the style guidelines

This article needs a free image related to the subject. Possible images include things like a picture of the set, prominent actors, or the director.

I removed this chatty line which has an "unencyclopedic" feel

H. C. Andersen, late to bloom, started as quite an ugly duckling himself.

After reading Hans Christian Andersen, I saw nothing to support this claim especially given success relatively early in life. Before reinstalling this line, some kind of argument should be given as to why Anderson is a late bloomer.

While I understand that the "Spoiler" notice can be often useful, it seems to me that such a notice put in the "Ugly Ducking" article sound a bit ridicolous and does more harm than good.

I agree, if nobody objects, i would like to take it out. Firestorm 01:20, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

H.C. Andersen working in a cigaret factory? Where does this come from? As I recall, he worked in a carpenters shop where the things desciped happened to him but, I think, only for a day. No doubt he was taunted in his youth, though.
