Talk:Aventure Malgache

message: Can I ask why this title is spelled here with a small "m"? All the sources I look at spell it with a large M. Invertzoo (talk) 01:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: When this article was created in June 2005, it was with an upper-case "M". In December 2009, an editor moved it so that "malgache" would be rendered with a lower-case "m", on the basis of its listing as such in IMDb.  Although, in English, geographical subjects (Madagascar/Malagasy) are indicated in uppercase, various specifications in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/France and French-related have been cited to justify the use of French orthography. In the case of films, all guides, both British (such as TimeOut Film Guide) and American (such as Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide) have been using English-language orthography for titles such as Au Revoir les Enfants. Although there is a handful of such faux-French-titled Hollywood features as Les Girls (not Les girls) or Irma la Douce (not Irma la douce), the case of Aventure Malgache and its companion short film Bon Voyage (1944 film), may be unique, in that these are French-titled, French-language British films, made in England by Alfred Hitchcock, an indisputably English director, thus giving it/them an even weaker claim, if any, to the use of French orthography. Although, as of this writing, in March 2013, IMDb still lists Aventure Malgache with a lowercase "m", most other sources (TimeOut, Maltin, The Films of Alfred Hitchcock), as well as the references appended to the Aventure Malgache article, which include the front covers of the DVD release of these two Hitchcock shorts, all show the use of uppercase "M". In March 2013, the main title header was moved from Aventure malgache to Aventure Malgache—Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 08:25, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Aventure Malgache 

message: Was this film intended to be screened in regular theatres in liberated France after D-Day? Or if not, then where? And, aside from its intended distribution, was it in fact shown in France in the 1940s? I saw this on TCM recently, and in the introduction I believe Ben Mankiewicz suggested that either the British or the French authorities weren't particularly pleased by the film so it might never have been shown, except that François Truffaut once mentioned in an interview that he thought he had seen it.

Talk:Under Capricorn

message: Director of Photography Jack Cardiff in his book "Magic Hour"(1996), wrote about the immense planning for the ten minute takes in Under Capricorn and concluded:
:"If a cameraman is supposed to 'paint with light', Hitchcock painted with a moving camera. On :his other films, using normal techniques, he was able to use his camera with such exciting :bravaura, cutting from one shot to another to obtain rhythmic emphasis.
:And that's where Under Capricorn failed in the end. Despite Hitch's brilliant ideas on how to :keep the camera moving, he was fatally inhibited by the inevitable loss of tempo."

Talk:Torn Curtain

message: AFAIK, and the article in Wikipedia backs this, the MPAA ratings system stated being used in 1968, not 1966, so far from being "then-new" it was still "then-nonexistent".

message: This character, George Lumley, was previously described in the plot summary as "taxi driver / con man". In the film he says he is an (I have to assume unemployed) actor, and he works as a taxi driver in order to earn some money. I would not exactly call him or his girlfriend Blanche Tyler "con artists", although yes, she is a fake psychic and yes, he helps her out by snooping around to provide the facts she needs in order to appear as if she has real psychic skills.

Talk:Proto-novel

message: Seeing The Golden Ass, I fail to see how post-2nd-century novels can be forwarded as "first novel". There can be the "first modern novel", "the first Sanskrit novel", etc., but discussion of "first ever" need be restricted to times earlier than the 2nd century. dab (ᛏ) 15:25, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no clear definition as to what is a novel so this list is going to be tricky, but Don Quixote is one of the books most often cited as the first novel partly because it is a clear break with the past fashion for Romance (genre). A little bit of dividing of the list, as I have done, I think allows a better scope for this page. As such it should probably be back at something like the old name Candidates for the first novel. Waddya think? MeltBanana 16:15, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Don Quixote is considered the first modern novel. Not, however, the first novella, let alone the first roman. This is beside the point. There is really nothing that would speak against categorizing "The Golden Ass" as a novel. So when looking for the "first novel" not restricted to "modern", there can be no discussion of post 2nd century candidates. In any case, there are many entries listed now that are not "candidates for first novel" at all, but rather "first English novel", "first German novel" etc., and it would be a loss to delete them. Therefore, the present title, with its wider focus, fits the contents better. dab (ᛏ) 19:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

text: this is a sub-article to novel per WP:SS. its purpose is to discuss pre-modern and early modern texts in particular that arguably qualify as predecessors of the genre, or that arguably could be called "novel" were they published today. Maybe pick a better title for it, but do keep it. dab (ᛏ) 10:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, yes, I understand that - I wrote most of that article (novel). If it is a sub-article we should be aware of that other sub-article on early romances and focus on the tradition of the early novels in opposition to early romances. It is no need to offer that opposition in the main article if the sub-article is written with less awareness of terminology and lines of tradition. --Olaf Simons 19:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I hear you. This here is, after all, just a glorified list. Feel free to move things around as long as no information is lost :) dab (ᛏ) 19:53, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

message: The article should clearly be merged with novel. If this project presumes to retain some encyclopaedicity, it should strive to provide some sort of perspective. We could start articles about "early novel", "late novel", "not so early novel", "bad novel", "funny novel" and pump them with arbitrarily chosen entries, but this would not add reputation to the project. --Ghirla -трёп- 07:41, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Far Country (film)

message: "Both Ronda and Renee are strongly attracted to Jeff." Heck, so is Ben (Walter Brennan)! He gets a big kick out of Jeff's companionship, and talks about the ranch they'll have and the cabin they'll live in. (Jeff doesn't disagree with this.) Ben even has a little bell he's going to hang on the door to announce visitors. At the end of the film, when the camera moves in for a close-up of the bell, and Jeff sets it ringing, the effect is heartbreaking. And let's not forget the three times Jeff pulls Ben's pipe from Ben's pocket, lights it, and shoves it in Ben's mouth!

He holds "trials" (in the local saloon) and hangs people that he finds "guilty," but he doesn't wear a badge, and he uses his gang members to do the actual enforcement. So I don't think he's a "lawman" in any sense.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.93.39.45 (talk) 23:35, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Railroaded!

message: I am no longer confident about editing article pages - when I last did it I was criticised for not providing references - I find linking references difficult - maybe connected with me being a dyslexic.
Anyway - first a general point.
It seems that in all performance drama the major focus is on what we see on the stage or screen and hence those involved with what we see, especially actors getting the major attention yet we would have nothing to perform were it not for the writer.
In this case it is Gertrude Walker, who I eventually found information about by following the External Link from the American Film Institute Catalog and on to an article about her on the Mystery*File website she should not be confused with another person of the same name who married an actor.
I hope someone will be along before too long to put a reference to Gertrude at the very head of the article and maybe will consider the investigations carried out by the Mystery File folk sufficient to start an article about this not completely insignificant author.
A final and separate point, for those (most of us) born after the second world war, in my case 1948 - by which time movies/films and then TV were becoming the main media of entertainment for English speaking people, it is easy to forget that from the early twenties radios were reaching folks homes and there were many dramatic works produced for that medium. I rather suspect that folk such as Gertrude would also have been writing for the radio (I have no knowledge that she did for certain) and there was a big cross over between movies and radio in the USA at any rate, where commercial radio was supreme, with for example the Lux Radio Theater, which I think has Wikipedia articles.
