| 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)
- 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.

This film is an incredible tearjerker. It is said to have crystallized American support for the British, which hithertofore had been tepid at best. Greer Garson is so charming and angelic that you want to go out and destroy anyone who would dare lay a hand on her. And the way the film portrays Dunkirk is brilliant. You don't hear that there has been a rout at Dunkirk and that anyone owning a boat must render aid. All that we know is that Clem and his friends have been summoned; then, when you see the flotilla, you realize it's Dunkirk. It's true that the depiction of English life is Hollywoodized, but the film is such a masterpiece that such anomalies ought to be forgiven.
