If you would like to participate, you can edit the article attached to this page, or visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion.
Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the quality scale. ??? This article has not yet received a rating on the priority scale.
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. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

I don't think there is enough material to make a split here. If anyone wants to add more on the film, this article could stay as it is and a new film article could be created. The question in such cases is where does the comparison play/film go, which is also an argument for not splitting. I will add the film infobox here, but if there is much more on the film to be added, it can be moved there along with the templates of the talk page. Hoverfish Talk 16:48, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I concur. The only major difference between the play and the movie is the altered ending (to match Hollywood standards of the time) and casting. I also wish that those who choose to label articles as "needing" or "lacking" something would simply add what they think is missing, instead of labelling. Zephyrad 23:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed the split tag. My original intent was to go with the trend to create separate articles for Broadway plays and the films based on them if both were deemed to be significant works in their own right. Perhaps that doesn't apply in this case. Alan Smithee 05:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, since play and musical articles do not follow the same guidelines with film articles, it is good and wise at some point to split, so that each can develop in its own style. The only thing is that enough specific information has to gather before this can be achieved. As for Zephyrad's wish, it's often mine too, but please consider that an editor doing regular maintenance rounds may well be going through 30-60 articles per round, so these tags are the only practical way to react.
