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.

[edit] Request for help

Help me !!!!! Does anyone out there know what happened to the real sister Denise Norton (where she is buried etc.) and does anyone know what happened to Captain Anson and sister Diane Murdoch? Did they get together in real life? What happened to them, and where are they now? One last thing: what happened to Katy the Austin K2Y ambulance? Is it in a museum somewhere or on a scrap heap? Any help or info you have may prove very helpful. e-mail me at mrbiscuits13@hotmail.com with as much as you know.

Thank you.

[edit] Possible reference

John Mills himself has told the story of getting 'plastered' many times. One of the most recent was on the TV chat-show 'Parkinson' just before his death in 2005.

[edit] Possible additions

Can anyone confirm (or deny) either of these possible additions?

• 'Katy' was a generic name for K2 ambulances, not the name of the specific ambulance; the name 'Katie' or 'Katy' often appears associated with the name—but of course a lot of people have seen the film... (But note that an earlier version of this page had "The ambulance is nicknamed Katy. Contrary to misconceptions, it is not a pun on the type, an Austin K2/Y, but the name given by its original driver in the novel. Many World War II ambulances were named after wives and girlfriends." This was later removed.)

If true, then the first paragrahh of 'Plot needs a change.

• The film-makers in fact mounted the body of an Austin K2/Y on a Canadian Military Pattern 4x4 chassis (hence apparently why the front wheels spin in the quicksand scene).
