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.

Apparently, there was a very unsuccessful sequel: http://www.theatredb.com/QShow.php?sid=s0144 It was called 'Bring Back Birdie'. Could make a bit of interesting trivia

[edit] Link Disamb.

"Some praise the movie as a classic example of 60's camp" If anyone knows the specific article that camp should link to here, could you please change it in the article? Thanks! --Hetar 00:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xeero trivia

I've just removed this line of supposed trivia -

Although still slightly unknown, the quasi-famous drummer known only as Xeero (pronounced Zero), provided drums for a production of Bye Bye Birdie.

Really doesn't seem notable if an unknown drummer played in an unspecified production. I've Googled 'Xeero drummer' (which also returns results for 'drums' and 'drum') and only received a list of 17 results, the top one being this Wikipedia article, most of the rest being user accounts on several forums and a blog.

If someone does have a source for this information that proves its notability then please add it back (with a rewrite) and a link to the info. Kineticpast 02:54, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Songs for TV Film

I changed the titles of the songs that were new to the Jason Alexander film. It used to have titles that were from the Broadway play. Also, the train scene IS from the Broadway play, so I deleted the line that said it wasn't. ZimZimmah 20:24, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
