Hello, I am very interested in pages about old films, directors, and actors. I am happy to review this article and learn about this biblical epic! Feel free to contact me with any questions; I am active on Wikipedia on the weekdays and very responsive to contacts and queries.Skyes(BYU) (talk) 20:03, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Overall, I have finished with the majority of my review. I was impressed with the quality of prose and I found no issues with copyright or neutrality. Below, I have my only concerns. I am happy to finish up the review when those are taken care of. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:55, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Detailed points of concern

The news articles "Wright Lorimer sues Brady" and "Despondent actor a suicide by gas" only link to the Newspapers.com homepage and it would be much more helpful to readers if they linked to the direct articles.Skyes(BYU) (talk) 20:56, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The L.A Daily Mirror "Henry Armetta" source doesn't seem to be the most reliable since it seems to be a blog post and doesn't cite any sources. Is there another source available?Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:06, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence below the cast list is a bit strange there by itself, perhaps it can be merged into the cast list and the information about the credit name and relationship to the director can be put in a footnote. Additionally, both sources cited refer to him as "Gordon" and do not mention the name "Jack" in reference to the son as far as I can tell. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 21:15, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Point one is addressed. The other two I can try to handle, though wanted to give a heads up that the article writer/nom hasn't edited in months, so if it's something that i don't have access to then I unfortunately won't be of help. Wizardman 15:08, 18 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What I'm gonna do on this one is close this as a "fail without prejudice". Basically just meaning that should the writer return we can just reopen this review without having to wait a year for another GA review, since the article's not far from passage.
