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.

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

"The Viking (1928) was the first sound feature film made in colour."

This is a very strong statement to make without providing a reference. If anyone can veryify this, please add a reference. P0per 05:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

See Fred E. Basten, In Glorious Technicolor (Easton Studio Press, 2005), and Richard W. Haines, Technicolor Movies: The History of Dye Transfer Printing (McFarland & Company, 2003). I have removed the claim that The Viking did not do well because it lacked dialogue. Many other features without dialogue did very well at the box office in 1928 and early 1929. — Walloon 00:55, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
