Talk:A Place in the Sun (1951 film)

message: Removed the following dubious information:
However, the film is a remake of F.W. Murnau's "Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans", a 1927 classic, winner of three Oscars and Murnau's only American movie.  The article Sunrise (film) disagrees.

replies: text: "A Place In the Sun" replicates the plot of F.W. Murnau's "Sunrise" exactly:  a bumpkin gets involved with a sophisticated woman, plans to drown his wife, changes his mind but the boat capsizes anyway and his wife is drowned.  The only difference is that in "Sunrise" the drowned woman is later found alive.  209.77.229.70 (talk) 05:19, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Though the plots are almost identical, the fact remains that An American Tragedy was published two years before Sunrise was released. Furthermore, the novel was based on a real murder case. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 22:56, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I watched a DVD of A Place in the Sun today, and if I am not mistaken, Ian Wolfe played an uncredited role as Doctor Wyeland.  The Internet Movie Database (IMdb) confirms this.  If any Wikipedia editor has reliable documentation of this fact, please update this article accordingly.  Thank you! – Anita5192 (talk) 23:31, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

message: If the Wikipedia summary of An American Tragedy is correct, this film is hardly a "loose" adaptation of the novel.
Why did the screenwriter rename the principal character George Eastman? George Eastman? What rock had he been hiding under? WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 23:01, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

message: In the article it was previously stated that Labor Day had only fallen on September 4th twice before the making of the film in 1905 and 1933. This is nonsense. Labor Day also fell on Sep 4th in 1911,1916,1922,1939,1944 and 1950 as shown in the date of labor day wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day#Dates This reference is the probable source of the error, caused by careless reading of the article and failure to notice that Sep 4th appears on several rows of the table.
So I am changing this sentence to state that the dating of Labor day is consistent with the 1944 and 1950 calendars.
