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.

The "differences between the book and film" section of this article is very similar to that in the article of the 1963 film. Is it just a copy-paste thing, or do all of those differences really exist? Steveo2 18:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of "needs infobox" tag

This article has had its infobox tag removed by a cleanup using AWB. Any concerns please leave me a message at my talk page. RWardy 21:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Differences Between Book and Film

Just from reading the book, I see a lot wrong with this section. First of all, alot of the bullets are identical to those from the 1963 film. Also, many bullets are opinions. One bullet, "There was never an accordian washing up on the shore or any mention of the Russians or the Olympics", is factually inaccurate. I will not remove this but put an asterik by it. The bullet has no mention of whether it reffers to events in the book or in the movie. However, in the book no accordian washes ashore while there is mention of a speculative scenerio in which "Reds" were to rescue them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.211.73 (talk) 01:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

If it's inaccurate, why leave it there? CatMan (talk) 00:30, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Differences

"There was never an accordian washing up on the shore or any mention of the Russians or the Olympics." In the book or in the movie? Removing it until someone can say. I know it is not in the book, did a search on Russia, Olympic, Accordion and no results,

so I suspect it refers the movie.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cwg999 (talk • contribs) 23:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
