| 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.

Phrases like "The non-verbal, visual conclusion is triumphant. (Ironically, it is a pure,artful, insightful, pro-marriage....)" are extremely POV - AKeen 04:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
I defer. The reviewer is describing the theme Demy was attempting to convey in the film rather than his own views on marriage. User:Philch 10:09, 10 July 2006.
- If this is the opinion of Demy, it should be attributed to Demy, with a citation. As it stands now this is POV - AKeen 05:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- There are lots of weasel words in the article, but "triumphant" seems like a stylistic description more than an interpretation in context.--Son of Somebody 13:03, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Emily?
"Christine Legrand, the wife of Michel Legrand, was the singing voice of Emily." Who is Emily? There's no mention of her elsewhere on the page. Thanks.--86.138.104.32 20:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Good catch, Legrand was the singing voice of the mother, Madame Emery (someone misheard this as "Emily" maybe?). - AKeen 21:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
The article currently states: "The society wedding in a great cathedral, with a tiara being placed on the bride's head, symbolizes her upward social and economic movement." The problem here is that in the wedding scene, she does not have a tiara placed on her head. In an earlier scene, when Cassard is over for dinner, Geneviève finds the bean hidden in the food. This permits her to name her "king", and since Cassard is the only man there, she chooses him ("it looks like I have no choice", foreshadowing her bigger decision to come.) Cassard puts a paper crown on Geneviève, the "queen". And NPOV, she's beautiful.
This movie is more than simply a musical comedy. It is an opera, if I recall correctly. That is, it is entirely sung. Not a word is spoken. And in my opinion, the music is profoundly enchanting. 4.234.150.23 13:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- It is 100% opera, c'est vrai. Chivista 16:16, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
