Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

One wonders what qualified this sudser to be included in the National Film Registry! -- Zoe

I've wondered that about a few of their selections, actually. e.g. I found The Bank Dick singularly unfunny, though I'm guessing it must have been revolutionary in some way or another--or maybe it was just in honor of W. C. Fields the icon, the way people sometimes get Oscars for later, inferior work. --KQ

According to the National Film Registry's website, a film must be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." {shrug} -- Zoe

All That Heaven Allows is the funniest movie ever made. I have never laughed so much. It deserves its place on the registry. Cop 633 17:49, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

My 101 class, if you're reading this talk page - the comments above should also be evidence that wikipedia isn't an appropriate level for you any more. :-)

[edit] Name

I came across a line in a poem that reminded me of this title. "Is this all the Heaven allows?" is the line, in a poem called called The Mistress of Vision by Francis Thompson. Don't know if that's the original use or was inspired by something else. Text of poem here. --Ryan Paddy (talk) 19:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

How interesting. I guess we can't include it unless we can find a reliable source proving the connection, but it's an interesting idea, and the whole poem is reminiscent of the film. Cop 663 (talk) 19:47, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
