Talk:Stranger on the Third Floor

message: It seems that this assertion comes from a film critic, Dennis Schwartz, who self publishes his own film reviews on his personal web site. Hardly a encyclopedic source (for example I could start my own film criticism web site and counter that argument and cite my web site as a source). Also the assertion of it as the first film noir uses weasel words "According to some critics"... some critics? Which critics? Would that be 2 critics out of 3500? Name the critics. -- Buster 19:58, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Mask of Dimitrios

thread_title:  Differences from Novel 

message: The claim in this article that Dimitrios is based on arms-dealer Basil Zaharoff is impressively listed with three citations; however the first of these (the extract in the footnote mentions the author of the book cited by his full name, which makes me think it is actually written by an unnamed third-party, perhaps in a preface or introduction) makes it clear that it was an opinion held by Donald McCormick, and the extract ends tantalizingly with the words “…But a letter from…”, which would appear to be a negation of the proposition, or at least a counter to it. The other two citations merely repeat the claim, they don’t provided substance to back it up (and as they both post-date the first, may just be a reiteration of McCormick’s opinion). Is there enough to substantiate the claim to make it worth repeating here, or should it be marked as an opinion, rather than a fact? Jock123 (talk) 16:27, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cut-and-past viloation 

message: While it seems that this movie is classified as "noir" it lacks a lot of classical noir elements. True, it's told as a flashback, it has an evil woman (aka femme fatale), but that's about it. The camera work is standard; there is nothing unusual or noir-tistic [©] about it. The dialog is more-or-less soap opera. The final courtroom scene is lame. Vincent Price's questions etc. were objectionable but Ray Collins said nothing. It's hard to consider a movie that gets to the courtroom as noir, anyway. The plot should be resolved without legalities. I can see why some people call this noir, but the theme of a woman killing herself to attempt revenge from the grave has been used many times, and better than this. What this movie lacks is: noir camera angles, noir dialog, a hidden plan from the beginning (instead of the incomprehensible vagaries of a woman's mind), a motive (everyone is rich), a conspiracy, a big city, and a general feeling. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 02:09, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Under "Production" in this article, it says the film was "shot in Detroit, Michigan between August through October, 1945." There is a "citation needed" after it. In the 1940s, RKO Studios shot most of its films on its own facilities in Hollywood or Culver City, CA, which was later purchased by Desilu in the 1950s. This has to be a mistake.

replies: text: There is a strong hubris/nemesis theme. Carlisle (Power) learns of the code that Zeena and Pete used to be successful, before Pete fell into alcoholism. He obtains the code, and dumps Zeena for Molly. Then, after success using the code, Carlisle decides to trick Grindle into thinking that he can produce the ghost of his old lover. Molly tells him he is "Going against God" and asks "Do you think God would allow that?" Carlisle convinces her. Then Carlisle is exposed and falls from fame.

thread_title:  Reference for  Parkinson as birth name 

message: None of the citations in this article give Jerry Holkins actual first name as "Keith". They also do not say that his middle name is "Gerald" or that Jerry is short for Gerald. Also, none of them gave his birthday. I also couldn't find any of that stated elsewhere, except in websites that scrape Wikipedia and a few other wikis that look like they've copied this article.
As this is a biography of a living person, all information must be sourced. Therefore I've removed all the above statements from the article. If anyone knows of a source of any sort, please add it in, but otherwise, don't add it back.
I've kept the statement that his original last name was Parkinson. This is supported by two sources, though both are primary sources and so I've made the language clear of this. HenryCrun15 (talk) 01:20, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

thread_title: Book vs. Film

message: In the book, Eve Frame is not "evil". She also destroys the main character, Rinn, after being influenced by Rinn's enemy, Brydon Grant, and her story is greatly distorted by Grant. Her reasons for doing this are far more complex than merely being a "wicked witch" character; hence it puts a different take on the argument that Roth was using her as a disguised version of Claire Bloom (i.e. he was describing his ex-wife as a totally unsympathetic character). So I'm changing that sentence. 137.44.1.174 (talk) 10:14, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Eve Frame is not "evil," but the article text as it currently stands is overly positive toward her. Frame is a somewhat complex character, but I would not say she is depicted "sympathetically." She is depicted as an extremely weak and hysterical person. Also, her destruction of Ira's career is in no way "unintentional," even if she allows herself to be used by Bryden and Katrina Grant. I think it is fair to argue that Frame is more than just a malicious caricature of Claire Bloom, but it would be more appropriate to do so by quoting from a published review that makes the same point, rather than including this questionable character sketch.

thread_title:  incomplete sentence 

message: Time to clear up this misinterpretation.  This is a sentence from the AFI and by "standard ratio" they meant the 1959 standard ratio which was 1.85 not 1.33.  No theaters in the US, save for one or two art houses, could project 1.33 in 1959.  This film was never shown in Academy ratio anywhere and it was framed for and projected in 1.85, which is evident in every single shot in the film.  After this film, Wise shot two black-and-white films, both in the scope aspect ratio - Two for the Seesaw and The Haunting.
