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.

Isn't it "written and directed by Peckinpah", which then could be shortened to "a film by Sam Peckinpah"? He at least seems to have written the screenplay. <KF> 22:43, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

My reservation on saying a film is "by" a writer-director, is that encyclopedia readers who are not film buffs, or persons browsing this edition for whom English is a second language, may not get this connotation, thus it's preferable to always identify the writer and director as such. But I'm not married to the idea. 209.149.235.254 21:04, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The average person (I'm including myself in this category - I don't usually) would think that 'by' just refers to either the writer or the director - it should be implicit in this article that Peckinpah did both dutiessheridan 00:49, 2004 Dec 24 (UTC)

Actually, Peckinpah collaborated on the story and screenplay. IMDB gives the following screenwriting credits:

Writing credits Frank Kowalski (story) and Sam Peckinpah (story)

Sam Peckinpah (screenplay) and Gordon T. Dawson (screenplay) (as Gordon Dawson)
