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.

Please add more information about the cast and the crew, discussing the "behind the scenes" aspects of the production process, and giving insights into the casting and staffing where possible. See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines for more advice.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

[edit] Image request

The {{filmimage}} is specifically for a "picture of the set or a film poster". Normally screen-captures, actor's pictures, etc. are a last resort if the poster, DVD cover, official press release pic., etc. aren't available. If they're not available, leave a note - don't blank the page. SkierRMH 07:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

The {{film needs synopsis}} is there because "stuck closely to..." doesn't state significant deviations. If there weren't any - should say so. SkierRMH 07:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

On the face of it, this is a nice point. The difficulty is that scholars disagree upon the structure Buechner intended for his play. Only fragments of it survive, with the result that there are many different versions (with greater variations than one might see of, for example, Shakespeare's works) with little agreement upon the order in which scenes should appear or indeed their content. In reality, the phrase "stuck closely to" is apt to mislead as it fails to reflect the fact that there can be no agreement as to what "the play" actually is. For that reason, I have had a go at amending the text. Informed Owl (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)Informed Owl

[edit] Cast Section

The {{film needs cast section}} is there becuase there are only 2 names in the article (I presume there's more than 2 actors herein) and even if it doesn't have its own section, somewhere it should say what role each actor had in the film.SkierRMH 07:21, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
