[edit] Summary

I think this summary box is terrible and, what is more, in no way necessary. It is also displayed in a weird way as far as the layout of the entry is concerned. Is there any consensus to add such boxes to film articles? <KF> 11:20, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

Can we add more on Jeff's Sexual Frustration? I made a small line in there, and would love to elaborate if someone can help me along. Mitch 15:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

The POV talk should be moved to a different section. It doesn't have anything to do with the plot. DarkenedWings 02:16, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Short story title wrong

The short story it was based on isn't called 'Rear Window', it's called 'It Had to be Murder'. I've changed that now. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.3.249.99 (talk) 12:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Merging Lisa Fremont into Rear Window

• Agree Indeed, I think Lisa Fremont would (properly) disappear into this article. In its present state, it seems little more than an advertisment for some proposed game called Six Degrees of Lisa Fremont. Unless someone is devoted enough to this fictional character to develop a decent article out of her, I recommend merging. Gosgood 10:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• I think the Lisa Fremont page should be considered for deletion. It has no bearing on the film and does not belong there. It seems nonsensical at best. Philbertgray 13:33, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

• Merge per discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lisa Fremont... Addhoc 15:57, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A lovely bit of POV

"The best analysis of Rear Window can be found in John Fawell's book The Well-Made Film." Erm, any citation available for this? Best is a tricky word. Cheers! (163.1.230.208 07:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gracerear.jpg

Image:Gracerear.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Robert Capa and Ingrid Bergman

Has this article contained a reference to the relationship between Capa and Bergman serving as the model for the characters in this film? The relationship is discussed on the Robert Capa page. Any objections to including a sourced reference here? TheMindsEye (talk) 23:20, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why are there two plot summaries?

They are both quite good, but it seems odd that the article contains a plot summary >and< a synopsis, both essentially the same thing done in different ways. Someone may want to do radical surgery to merge the two. Invertzoo (talk) 15:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
