WikiProject Musical Theatre tasks:
edit this Open Tasks template
- Articles needing a content fork
- Mainly, these are articles on films and either their source or subsequent musicals. There are a couple where the musical needs to be "forked" from the source material. Feel free to add or remove as necessary. Important: If you split an article, please make sure that you move all the relevant links from the first article to the new one. To find which links to move, click on "What links here" at the old article and look through the list to see which links should be pointed to the film related link (for example, articles on actors in the film). Then, click on those links and update them to point to the film article. Thanks!

| 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)
- 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.

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.

[edit] A film far ahead of it's time
This film is full of ideas later used in other comedy films. I can only think right now of Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and the Monty Python, but I am sure a lot more have taken ideas from it. Worth mentioning, by someone who has seen the film somewhat more recently than me. Hoverfish 20:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- If you want to see a reference to ideas used by later films check out the Comedy section of IMDb! Airplane, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, you name it. Maybe 30 or 40 years ahead of the game.
BTW, there is a new digitally remastered version available on DVD.
[edit] Split?
Should the Film article be split off from the musical article? -- Ssilvers 07:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
...as of late 2006 there has been no legitimate DVD edition.

Does this mean Amazon sells pirated material? -- megA 22:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
