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.

[edit] Spoiler tags and plot details

This page requires SPOILER tags. I have yet to see the film, so another must make judgements on what is to be considered given background information, and what is the true plot.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asasa64 (talk • contribs) 18 December 2006.

Are you sure that it's Travis (the character portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones) who says that Libby (Judd's character) can kill her husband in Times Square without fear of punishment? I'm fairly sure it's a debarred lawyer, who murdered her husband and also was serving her sentence with Libby, who said this. --Qwerty (talk) 12:24, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Got it! Here:

Margaret Skolowski: Ever hear of Double Jeopardy? Fifth Amendment to the constitution?

Elizabeth 'Libby' Parsons: No.

Margaret Skolowski: It says no person can be convicted of the same crime twice, the state says you already killed your husband right? So, when you get out of here, you track him down, and you can kill him. You can walk up to him in Times Square put a gun to his head and pull the f**king trigger and there's nothing they can do about it! Kinda makes you feel all warm and tingly inside don't it?

Travis Lehman doesn't mention Times Square at all, so how exactly do we change the comment about Travis advising Libby about double jeopardy? --Qwerty (talk) 13:16, 14 April 2007 (UTC) (2nd edit: Qwerty (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2007 (UTC))

By the way, Maria Skolowski is played by Roma Maffia (IMBD profile linked here). --Qwerty (talk) 13:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Happened on this page randomly, never having seen the movie, but I suggest it might need a tiny bit of fixup - the page suddenly says something about 'Lehman' repeating the double jeopardy advice, as though the reader is supposed to know him already, but doesn't reference who he is or (assuming he's the Tommy Lee Jones character) who plays him anywhere on the page. This lead to some seconds of confusion and rereading and searching for some reference, especially since other characters are given more intro. I'd try to fix it myself, but as I said, I've never seen the movie, so I might get it wrong Wandering Ghost 15:27, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Murder someone twice????

How can you murder someone twice? Couldn't the defendant claim that it's impossible to murder someone twice? Something about time served making up for future time? That they didn't kill someone the first time and that their time in prison the first time makes up for the second? soldierx40k (talk) 21:03, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
