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.
Additional Information: This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status: Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar: not checked Supporting materials: not checked To fill out this checklist, please add the following to the template call: <!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited. --> |B-Class-1=yes/no <!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. --> |B-Class-2=yes/no <!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including a lead section and one or more sections of content. --> |B-Class-3=yes/no <!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. --> |B-Class-4=yes/no <!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. --> |B-Class-5=yes/no

This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

Just for the record, Our Miss Brooks had a long run on radio before television, as well as inspiring a movie after both had ended, and frankly this area needs serious expansion. Much of the info on cast members was incomplete or limited only to the TV version (which itself went through a major format change in which Miss Brooks began teaching at a private school, with new supporting players). I hope to get to some of this myself, but if anyone else cares to work on expanding and sub-dividing this section, go to it! Aleal 22:00, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] edit please?

"Those only familiar with Crenna in his role as the military officer who is the only person trusted by John Rambo in the Sylvester Stallone Rambo films would be amazed to hear the high-pitched, naive characterization which he crafted to play Denton." This is one looooong sentence. Would someone with more grace than I help break this down or reword it? Thanks.

[edit] NOPV?

This article, while it has a wealth of good material in it, concerns me. For one, it needs to be broken down into sections. But more importantly, I don't think it has a neutral point of view, especially looking at the last paragraph. Much as I like the radio show, this looks like it was taken off the back cover of a hypothetical Our Miss Brooks CD case. What do you think? Canadian Joeldude 05:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

I would agree it needs attribution Dnyhagen Dnyhagen 08:22, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed it, a little

I'm sure somebody can polish it better than I have! I put in some references, tried to make it sound less like it was copied from something, put in more info about the radio show and more importantly the difference between that and the television program, etc. The movie section still needs some work.
