Hi, thank you very much I feel to lazy to do that ;)
It's good to "see" you again.

:Thanks, I've been on vacation for three weeks.  Refreshing.  I hope your holiday was good, too.  :-)  --KQ
Nuit américaine  = Day for Night ?
Is that correct translation ?
This is a method to shoot night scenes by day using filters and under-exposures.
This might be a good stub ?
User:Ericd
:Yes, that part of it would.  Much of Insomnia was shot day for night (the Pacino one, at least)?  --KQ
:It's maybe not the "correct" translation exactly, but it's what the film was released as in the UK and (I assume) the US, so it's right in this context, yes. --Camembert
::Small Change is certainly not the correct translation either (thank Steven Spielberg for that one).  --KQ
::: not strictly exact but close from the french title in fact the english may well be better User:Ericd
::Of course but I'm interrested in what's the exact name of the technical process for both reasons the technical process can be a good stub and feel to write something about the film.
I love Truffaut and I have some affair with "Les studios de la Victorine" :)

"Nuit américaine" literally translates as "american night" which is the technical jargon (in France) for shooting movie exteriors during the day to look like the night. The same jargon on UK and US film sets is "day for night"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.233.131.60 (talk) 12:25, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

message: An anon changed FT's middle name from Roland to Maximus. Someone reverted while I was busily checking that F Roland T has few google hits while F Maximus T has one. Someone who knows might want to check. Martinp 04:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Since anon has been going around adding "Maximus" to many Wiki articles, safe to assume is pure vanadalism. Martinp 04:03, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: At this point it seems like everyone everyone except Machocarioca prefers the longer tables, which allow for the English and French titles and notes. The smaller tables would be fine on individual film titles such as is done for David Lean and Stanley Kubrick's films for example. Rather than repeatedly reverting, which can get you banned, present your case here on the talk page. Doctor Sunshine talk 21:02, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I appreciate that you've put so much work into it but the thing to remember is that just as much work went into the table that you deleted. In fact, within the last 50 edits to this page you've deleted it 6 times. Now, the full table contains a lot of useful information that can all be viewed all on one page instead of clicking through 20 different articles to see it, it's more clear, and, most importantly, it's favoured by consensus—which is a rule. Here's the good news, all the work you did on the template can still be put to use. It can be moved to the template namespace and with a little modification will be suitable to be appended to all of Truffaut's directorial efforts. To see what I mean, take a look at the bottom of Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. It's perfect for that. I'd be happy to help you set it up. Doctor Sunshine talk 20:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I have restored the lists in the article and added the Truffaut template to the foot of the page, as suggested by Doctor Sunshine - Grammarian 22:36, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Somehow the article describes Truffaut and his work, but not really what his gifts were or why people were moved by his films. It states Adele H. added to his notoriety, but not why; doesn't talk about the work he got from actors, etc.--Parkwells (talk) 18:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Facts but not substance

message: Hi all.  I'm adding some new info and some inline references as this article doesn't have any. 
after I do that I'll remove the "no inline references" notice.  Cheers! Echoflame (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Did anyone see Google's "Parisian Love" ad while watching this year's Super Bowl? When the American searches for information on Truffaut, a link to this article is briefly visible. :D --Ixfd64 (talk) 03:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

message: What exactly is "F77 pronunciation"? It seems to only be used in this article and, without any kind of an explanation, comes across as either something you have to be in on the secret to know or vandalism. If it actually is relevant here, then it should be explained elsewhere in the article. (F77 redirects to Fortran -- is this a Fortran in-thing?) Motsa (talk) 15:35, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  birth anomaly 

message: This portion starts out with the assumed intent of providing a brief synopsis of the film. It devolves into no more than more info on Truffaut's life. As such, it seems out of place/off topic. I thought of editing out the biographical detail, but feel something should be put in it's place. There is the temptation to assume what is offered follows the films story line. As I am not familiar with the film to add meaningful info I would hope someone else might provide some substance.
