Expansion/Revisions

My name is Heidi Pusey and I am a paid student employee of Rachel Helps (BYU) at the Harold B. Lee Library. The library has a collection of Merian C. Cooper's papers. Because this is one of Cooper's films, I thought I'd work on improving the page. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out. COI declarations on userpage.

I've included citations in the plot section because I am unable to find the script and film for a synopsis. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The collection can be found here. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 20:50, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request for feedback

Rachel Helps (BYU), could you look over my revisions and give any feedback you might have? I know it's not a lot, but I found everything I could. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 18:53, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm impressed that you were able to find a reliable source about the rediscovery of this lost film! All the information that is on the page looks good. I wanted to know more about the last sentence under the critical reception section: "The photography is an example of what can be done with the new supersensitive emulsions using very little light." I'm not sure if there's a good page to wikilink about the "supersensitive emulsions" but it would be great to have more explanation.

Some of your references are duplicated. Can you merge the references to Up From the Vault and Down from the Attic?

I did a little Google Books search. I think RKO radio pictures horror, science fiction and fantasy films, 1929-1956 could have some more good information for this page, so I requested it from interlibrary loan. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:53, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I've added a wikilink to panchromatic film. If that doesn't clear up the "supersensitive emulsions", let me know. I'll also take a deeper look into the review once we get the book you requested. Heidi Pusey BYU (talk) 18:11, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
