replies: text: Thanks, Tex. More to come when I have the opportunity. I was one of the few who saw Inge's memorable Natural Affection when ran on Broadway for only 36 performances. Quite powerful. I'm glad I was there. Pepso 20:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: According to Wikipedia fair use policy, images of the covers of books can only be used "to illustrate an article discussing the book in question". Perhaps it might also be used in an article about the author of the book. But I don't think the use is a fair one on this article. GlassFET 15:09, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Those interested in Inge may wish to see the 1962 film All Fall Down, directed by John Frankenheimer and written by Inge from a novel by another. It still involves many themes characteristic of Inge, from single schoolteachers and repressed sexuality, to having a reference to someone named Willadean. It's upsetting that alcoholism and suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning are mentioned as well. One has to wonder whether he was already contemplating his own end ten years later.
The cast does well, Brandon de Wilde running away with the movie, but Eva Marie Saint, Warren Beatty, Karl Malden and Angela Lansbury turn in good performances as well. I didn't know this film was written by Inge; I only saw it because of my interest in Frankenheimer. I would like to read the novel and see how much rework was involved. My guess is that Inge changed quite a bit.

message: This paragraph (in Career) seems too much a summary of the play's plot.  I think either that should be a separate article or should be way shorter.  (Also needs citations).  Henry chianski (talk) 19:08, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

message: My understanding is that Inge committed suicide after Atlantic−Little, Brown rejected his third novel. The statement about his suicide, which is not documented, linked his demise to depression over his current plays not being given positive notices. This disparity should be addressed and documented before the flagged content warning is removed. Did Inge leave a suicide note? Even if he did, do scholars believe it was his alcoholism, loneliness, waning ability as a writer, a failed relationship or affection, conflict over something besides his publisher, or a combination of these (or other) factors that led to his death?
