| 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.

[edit] Why did this film become public domain so soon?
The film says that it was released by United Artists, which is still in business. Did they simply fail to renew the copyright in 1975, as was then required? Had they done so, under the Copyright Term Extension Act it would still be in copyright today. This needs to be addressed in the article. Rlquall 16:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Film Noir?
If this movie is film noir, then it is also a great example of "high school noir", which didn't begin with Veronica Mars after all. If it follows the conventions of noir, which it does only to a certain extent, then Julie London's character is the femme fatale. (She needs to be added to the credits in the article.)
