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)
- 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 Film infobox needs to be added to this article, or the current one needs to be updated. For formatting information see the style guidelines |
[edit] A film far ahead of it's time
This film is full of ideas latter used in other comedy films. I can only think right now of Mel Brooks, Woody Allen and the Monty Python, but I am sure a lot more have taken ideas from it. Worth mentioning, by someone who has seen the film somewhat more recently than me. Hoverfish 20:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
- If you want to see a reference to ideas used by later films check out the Comedy section of IMDb! Airplane, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, you name it. Maybe 30 or 40 years ahead of the game.
BTW, there is a new digitally remastered version available on DVD.
[edit] Split?
Should the Film article be split off from the musical article? -- Ssilvers 07:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
