Talk:Fame (1980 film)

message: IMO this article ought to mention the composer(s) and lyricist(s) of the songs in the musical. If someone has the knowledge, I for one would appreciate an update of this article. Wempain 03:14, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Such information should be (and is) in the article about the musical, Fame (musical). This is about the film and should not be overloaded with details about the musical or the TV shows. Otto4711 05:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

message: You know, I find it oddly fascinating about the whole Fame franchise. Warner Bros. owns the rights to the 1980 film under Turner Entertainment, yet Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer still has the rights to the rest of the franchise. This is another one of the reasons why Warner Bros. should've considered purchasing MGM instead of merging with Discovery. FlapjackRulez (talk) 00:02, 3 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Blue Skies (1946 film)

message: Perhaps a silly question, but does anyone know why Caulfield was cast in this film? To put it mildly, she really seems out of place here, since she neither sings (aside from a couple of brief harmonies on one or two numbers) nor does she dance. --ND 18:01, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Joan Caulfield was the protege of Mark Sandrich - who directed many of the Astaire-Rogers musicals - and who was originally slated to direct this film. He died of a heart attack during pre-production and Stuart Heisler was drafted in to replace him. Heisler wanted Caulfield replaced, but Crosby - who was having an affair with Caulfield - protected her. This is also partly why Crosby had Draper replaced when he began to criticise Caulfield's dance ability. For more information see Larry Billman's - Fred Astaire - a Bio-bibliography p.122.

message: The section describing this number seems to have a lot of assumptions on the content of the song that don't add up. It talks extensively on differences in speed as though the film speed is different for each section of the number but there are only changes in tempo which is not unusual in a dance number.

thread_title:  Adaptations 

message: It might help the article to emphasize the movie's novel aspect: a gentile conducts personal research into antisemitism by the simply device of telling people that he is Jewish. The point is that being Jewish is not an ordinarily detectable trait, and that each person's prejudice comes simply from his own stereotypes. The fact that Jews with ordinary names who do not reveal their religion / ethnicity are undetectable gives the lie to the stereotype.
Disclaimers: I am Jewish, but no one knows it unless I tell them, since my last name is not anything like Goldstein. Also, I am not trying to make this article biased toward or against anything; rather, I am trying to describe the POV of the director and the original author. --Uncle Ed (talk) 16:32, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: POV

message: As an avid reader of spy novels, I'm also concerned with another aspect of the movie: the difficulty of keeping the secret that Green is not really Jewish. It's (obviously) the flip side of keeping one's "Jewishness" a secret, as his secretary has been doing by changing her name.
Phil immediately gets into a quarrel (or "difficult discussion") with his new fiancee about whom to tell and what to tell them. Of course, this is the whole point: the way people react to (or treat) people changes on a dime, based entirely on their ideas about "the group you belong to". 
But how do I describe this for the article? --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:19, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  You don't. You find a published work that makes the point and cite it.  The article here is not meant to be a general collection of thoughts on prejudice or even on the book/movie, but an overview of recognized criticism & analysis of the subject.  So if there's a book or period review that goes into that point, cite it.  Original insights you have are best published elsewhere, and if it achieves a level of legitimacy then it qualifies to be cited here. --anon  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.47.174.65 (talk) 16:14, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Keeping the secret

message: I'm perhaps even more struck over another difference than the lessening of anti-semitism. It's the lessening of general good manners. When Phil's army captain friend gets in a scuffle with a drunken anti-semite at a swanky restaurant, everyone's too much of a gentleman to start actually taking punches. The antisemite's friend immediately apologizes for his friend's remark, pulls his friend away, and scolds him publicly. The manager or maitre d' comes over to apologize. Or is this just the difference between upper class and middle class behavior in general? --Uncle Ed (talk) 19:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

:: With respect, psychoanalysis of a work of fiction is as useful as psychoanalysis of physics. It's fiction, not a biography or autobiography. Hence, one can only reverse-psychoanalyze the author at the time of writing. One may wish to analyze the audience, but that fails on grounds of diversity, as some will view the film just to watch a film, others are "dragged" to the film by a significant other, still others to see "what it's all about" and still others are attached psychologically to the film. Hence, lacking a control group, common motivation, etc, one lacks full insight to gain any analysis.Wzrd1 (talk) 04:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

message: I can't find any references, either in English or in Russian, that confirm the alleged ban of "The Adventures" in the Soviet Union. At least two stories from the collection ("The Red-Headed League" and "The Blue Carbuncle") were printed in Russian during 1930's and 1940's, and the complete collection was printed as part of the classic Russian-language eight volume collection of Conan Doyle's works in 1966. 
It is true that at least some of the Conan Doyle's works were censored in Russian, partly because of his infatuation with occultism (in particular, "The Valley of Fear" was only printed in abridged form, some stories from "The Case-Book" were rarely printed, "The Mystery of Cloomber" was only printed once, and "The Valley of Mist" was not available at all till 1990's), but "The Adventures" probably weren't affected. --Itinerant1 (talk) 21:17, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

message: DELETED: The script of the film never names the city in which The Glass Tower stands, though clearly the exterior shots are of San Francisco, and at the Tower party Harlee Claiborne says to Lisolette Mueller, "I decided to come back to the reality of San Francisco."
REASON: The paragraph itself not only contradicts itself, with Claiborne indeed naming the city, but I saw the film again the other day and there are other references to San Francisco. Apart from the fact that the Golden Gate Bridge is clearly shown during the opening credits sequence, when the film shows the first batch of fire engines being despatched we clearly see on the opened door of one truck the words "San Francisco Fire Department". So that's at least three very clear references to where the Glass Tower is located. Asa01 10:38, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

I happen to be watching the film right now and just noticed that, there are many things that can be said about a very common Irish name being replaced by a surname that looks somehow even more Gaelic or something but in fact the name was conjured out of thin air Only because I have subtitles on was I able to figure out what the heck everyone was calling the guy. 
It's a cunning example of Hollywood's erasure of Irishness - If all the O'Halloran's in the world felt like Steve McQueen, well, maybe there would be a towering Catholic baby boom or something...."Let's make up a name to take the wind out of their sails," they must have said, in their smoky WASPy back room meetings.....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.16.191.143 (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Text from parallel article Emerson, Lake and Powell, now changed to a redirect:
----
Emerson, Lake & Powell was an ELP off-shoot band. When Keith Emerson and Greg Lake agreed to work together again, they were unable to coax Carl Palmer away from  Asia, so the search was on Once I ate with a Zora. Trust me, it's not good. for another drummer. They quickly recruited legendary drummer Cozy Powell, known for his work with  Rainbow and Whitesnake; the fact that his name started with 'P' was entirely coincidental.
They recorded only one album,  Emerson, Lake & Powell, and embarked on one tour before splitting up.

replies: text: A disambig page sounds just fine. Padma is perhaps the most notable river in Bangladesh ... so I had this redirect to Padma River. I'm not familiar with the religious significance, but anyone familiar with it is free to add that here. By the way, Padma, when it comes to referring the river, is pronounced: pad-maaa. Another term, pronounced Pad-mow, means lotus, an entirely different word. I guess the references you mention belong to the 2nd term. Unfortunately, the standard english spelling is the same for both the river and lotus, so a disambig page should clear this up. Thanks. --Ragib 17:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I mean the 2nd term.  "Padma is perhaps the most notable river in Bangladesh" - in fact, it is the most notable. The river is important for Indians also, as it is associated with Ganges River. Use of the  term Ganga-Padma in Bengal is very common. In view of this,  I had not immediately disturbed the redirection, as the redirection was looking fine. I will create a Padma{disambiguation) page, and as regards the 2nd term I shall name the page as Padma (mythology). --Bhadani 12:30, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
