Talk:The Fly (1958 film)

message: Article contains a great deal of inappropriate style; ampersands, sentance fragments, informal tone. A rewrite of the plot section for content and style would be a good idea. I would, but I've never seen the movie and don't particularly feel like making it up as I go along. Medic007 (talk) 01:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: At the end of the film, why is the fly with the scientist's head crying out in English  if the real scientist had the fly's head?(AndrewAnorak (talk) 20:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The creature with the head of the fly wasn't able to speak. That's why he typed.  The creature with the head of a man also had a human arm, neck, and part of the chest.  It had a human vocal system, with presumably enough lung capacity to be able to produce human speech. 206.9.240.9 (talk) 16:03, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Many years ago, I owned a book, which claimed that Price and Marshall had to film some of their scenes standing back to back, because they kept making each other laugh.  Can anyone provide a source for this? TheAstonishingBadger (talk) 11:49, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is incomplete and contains unsourced information. The production section is way too short and needs to be expanded with proper citations given for its information. This section should be split into several sub-sections detailing the film's development/writing (with some mention of the original short story the film is based upon), a casting section, a filming section, and makeup effects section, the latter of which should detail the design and makeup of the "André Fly". The article is also missing important information on the film's theatrical and home media releases which needs to be added to the article with proper citations. This article could easily be GA status if enough attention is given to it. Hopefully someone will come along and give this article the attention it needs.--Paleface Jack (talk) 17:29, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: ConfusingReferences are all over the place on this one; many state July 16 as the date it hit theatres. OTOH, this printed NYTimes review says it opened there on Aug. 29. AllMovie.com says 8-29. TCM says it PREMIERED on July 16 (the release date used by IMDB & other film sites) Possibly premiered in a few trial locations ??? I give up.
