[edit]I've found only a few minor problems; I'll happily pass the article once these are attended to.
- Plot
- "When he had shown little ambition and would have therefore been of little use in advancing her career, Carolyn abruptly dumped him." I'd recommend changing this to "As he had..." or "Since..." or simply "He had shown..." Am I right in presuming this is about a single event where he failed to impress her?
- "Lipranzer reveals the beer glass to Rusty, explaining that it was never returned it to the evidence room after the case was turned over to Molto and Della Guardia. - "it was never returned" or "he never returned it"?
- Casting
- 'Ford said, "Friends warned me this was a tough role because Rusty is such a passive, interior character. Though Rusty's in every scene, all the action takes place around him. Things happen to him."' - the quote needs a direct citation
- Development
- The ref listed in the first para doesn't support the detailed bidding war description. I'm guessing from the AFINotes ref that another NYT article has it.
- Some of the text cited to the SlamBang ref should actually be cited to the source's second page. This is not a problem for today's readers, but citing correctly in these situations prevents link rot as it forces web archives' crawlers to save the 2nd page as well.
- Note: You can use {{sfn}} instead of <ref>{{harvnb}}</ref>. You don't need to change this at all, just a heads-up if you want to spare your fingers a bit in the future.
- Release
- The film's name is repeated a bit too often here.
- —
- There are some minor close paraphrasing issues with the AFINotes ref. The vast part of this is unavoidable, but I'd be grateful if you could try to minimize this in any way.
Feel free to revert or discuss any edits and suggestions I made if you disagree with them. Daß Wölf 02:05, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
