Full plot

... rather than just a teaser would be nice. Thanks, Maikel (talk) 11:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It

What does "it" refer to in the movie and novel? It doesn't seem to be glamour. Maikel (talk) 11:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article on Elinor Glyn which has a slightly more extensive explanation if the one in this article is insufficient for you to get it. Mike Hayes (talk) 16:36, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"It" not It

The opening title of the film is "it" (lowercase letters in double quotation marks). The title on the poster is 'IT' (uppercase letters with single quotation marks). The novella is also called "It". The British edition was called "It" and other stories and the title page is "IT" AND OTHER STORIES.(see:"It" and Other Stories, Stanford University Libraries) Whichever way, the quotation marks are an inherent part of the original title and should not be omitted. The article should also be moved to the correct name. If there are no objections, I intend to do so but I will leave the subject open for discussion. I have moved a few articles in the past that were misnamed without getting a consensus and no one has reverted them but this is a famous subject, so I am being (perhaps unnecessarily) more cautious. The other question is whether the title should be lowercase. Possibly not, as the producers used different combinations and seem to have been not quite sure themselves.

Josef von Sternberg not involved in direction

Although there are sources giving partial direction credit to von Sternberg, this is doubtful. As per David Stenn, **Josef von Sternberg is often incorrectly credited with directing at least one scene of It.^[1]^: 301 & director Clarence Badger: Josef von Sternberg is often credited with directing at least one scene of It. He denied this, as do others involved with the movie. (Kevin Brownlow to DS. Also, Priscilla Bonner to DS; DD to DS.)^[1]^: 331 Peaceray (talk) 19:29, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
