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.

Question: can somebody give a source of Father Brown being a Jesuit (SJ)? I can't remember anything like that from the stories (I only have got a German translation, but a quite good one). --62.227.44.202 16:42, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I would be very interested, too, where the SJ came from. --Wittkowsky 19:17, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

shouldn't this irrelevant alec-guiness-stuff be removed?

Please. Sign. Comments. I don't think it should be removed, per se; it is tangentially related to the subject, but I'm not sure "Influences" is an appropriate section title, since Guinness was influenced by the boy's trust in the symbols of the RCC, not by the Fr. Brown character. Maybe "Trivia" would be a better section title, or the anecdote could be merged with the bullet point for the 1954 film, under "Father Brown in other media".

One of the books appears on the World Wide School site (and other volumes, if people wish to link as appropriate).

Some of the casual references to racial groups in some of the FB stories would not now be regarded as in good taste.

[edit] Catholicism

The anecdote seems to be a exageration of the source, a poor one at best, and in direct conflict with the Alec Guiness article, which states that he was accepeted during the filming. That aside, the anecdote is irrelevant anyway, having nothing to do with the books, and being uncylcopedic.--THobern 09:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I support removal of Subsection: Trivia from the article. Henry Merrivale 03:48, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
