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.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

[edit] Ticket price?

Article currently says, of the movie: "it had a ticket price of $5 when it opened." That seems exceedingly unlikely to me, given that average ticket price in 1929 (http://www.pictureshowman.com/questionsandanswers4.cfm) was 35 cents. Would this movie really have sold tickets at 14 times the average ticket price? That's like a movie today selling tickets for $125. Can someone verify or remove that line? --Elysdir 20:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Show Itself

Why is there nothing about the show's plot and characters? There is no exclamation point in the show's title--only in the movie's; that is an error. The five dollar ticket price (mentioned directly above) is particularly dubious in that the standard top for a live Broadway show at that time was about $3.00. There is also a note on the George Olsen band being carried over from Broadway to Hollywood--but in fact virtually the entire stage cast filmed their roles. It's one of the movie's points of distinction. Further, Ruth Etting did not "star" in the show; she was its featured singer, no more. Someone with some genuine knowledge of Whoopee needs to correct and amplify. Fred Lane 03:33, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
