Elvis on Tour and Charro

Whoever noted that Charro didn't have a soundtrack release needs to do some homework, as the theme song was released on a single. Also several Presley films didn't have any sort of "soundtrack album" release. Several, including Flaming Star, were only represented by singles or EP discs. 68.146.81.123 (talk) 18:01, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Runtime needs a source.

Let's go with the one on the home media version. The other numbers vary plenty.--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Poster needs alt text and a caption.

Let me know what you think.--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Remove the comma after Pierre Adidge.

"starred on" → "starred in"

--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is the hyphen between "split-screen" necessary?

Not truly, I think I just been influenced by seeing it written that way in so many 70s publicity pictures (also for other movies). I just went ahead and removed all instances.--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"hiatus while" → "hiatus where"

--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's just leave it at paid?--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The San Francisco Examiner → The San Francisco Examiner

--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lower the usage of quotes per WP:RECEPTION.

Several paragraphs include only two reviews. Remove quotes and add more reviews.

With that in mind, #Reception might need to be rewritten and expanded entirely.

~~Working~~--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

~~Working~~Done with the domestic. I wanted to point out that the reason that some reviews take several paragraphs is that those are the ones belonging to major newspapers. Writers like Vincent Canby (or the LA Times staff writers among others) had an immense reach through their nationally syndicated columns, which were reprinted by most newspapers. They were at the time pretty much considered authorities in film, and still to this day when books mention the reception of films, they focus mostly on their reviews.

That takes us to the next point: At the time, smaller newspapers used to pretty much re-print the same reviews via the news services of say The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, UPI, etc. I added to this article the original reviews, while the rest that I found were just the news wires republished. There are really no other reviews available.--GDuwenHoller! 20:43, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done I trimmed a good deal of the quotations, and I suppose that the ones I left in should be OK now. As I explained above, there is not much to be added that I can find rather than mirrors of the original news wires from major publications.--GDuwenHoller! 18:27, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add a serial comma after "Blu-ray".

--GDuwenHoller! 18:49, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DYK requirements check out as a new GA, no close paraphrasing was found, QPQ done. Hook is cited to an offline source so AGF, the issue at the moment is that the hook says it was the only Elvis-starring film to win an award, whereas the article says it was his only acting credit to win an award. Either the hook or the article needs to be revised. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 01:09, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for pointing that out, I've just modified the article. I think it is more appropriate to refer to it as "starring" rather than "only acting credit", as it is a documentary.--GDuwenHoller! 14:51, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, however the article now says "It became the only film starring to earn an award" which doesn't sound grammatically correct. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:50, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Corrected.--GDuwenHoller! 15:32, 15 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
