[edit] The Maltese Falcon (1941 film)

I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate the contributions you've made to this article. The picture of Mary Astor, in particular, is a valuable addition. Keep up the good work. If this topic is of interest to you (as it seems to be), perhaps you would like to weigh in on the discussion going on in the article about the book---there has been a difference of opinion between myself and an anonymous user as to which image is considered appropriate for an article about the book. I'd like some other opinions on the matter. Thanks, and, as I say, please continue contributing. Cheers! ---Charles 17:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Savage Passions and Song of the Flame

What evidence is there that Savage Passions (1927) was photographed in Technicolor? The American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures doesn't even know the production company or distributor of this obscure feature.

As for Song of the Flame, is there any authoritative source that says this was photographed in 65 mm? All I find is a plot description in the Internet Movie Database that claims so (and another website that reprints that plot description). The AFI Catalog says nothing about a widescreen process for that movie. — Walloon 17:11, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


The Variety film review for "Song of the Flame" on May 14, 1930 states: ""At one time film goes to the wide screen for a pleasant festival and this looks quite nice, with the staging here as otherwise with numbers happily handled by Jack Haskell." It also states that the film was "All Technicolor." I will have to recheck the review on "Savage Passions."

There are numerous problems with the AFI Catalog: 1921-1930. It's by far the weakest of the lot. There are something like 75 features not included, numerous synopses are wrong, and cast and credits are frequently incomplete.24.6.23.248 19:07, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Maltese Falcon

All the facts in my edits are common knowledge to any one who has even an elementary knowledge of the subject. Your twisting of Wikipedia sourcing policy into pseudo-logical pretzels notwithstanding -- not right, not even wrong, to steal from Wolfgang Pauli -- if it's so "elementary", then reliable sources should be rather thick on the ground and easily found, don't you think? In other words, argument-from-handwaving-authority fanboy, I'm calling your bluff: put up or shut up. According to you, it's elementary, so multiple sources will be easy enough. Or are you using a unique definition of "elementary"? --Calton | Talk 01:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
