Stage version

[edit]

Once the stage version opens on Broadway, it will need its own article. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Broadway play

[edit]

There should be a separate article about the upcoming Broadway production, perhaps called To Be or Not to Be (play). This article should be about the 1942 film. --rogerd (talk) 21:59, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New Plot

[edit]

My intervention was aimed at making the plot shorter and easier to consult - thus to let any reader understand what the movie is about with a quick read. The new version seems to me too detailed. Encyclopedia entries about movies usually do not reach this level of detail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sostene (talkcontribs) 15:55, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You went too far. I've trimmed it down a bit. BMK (talk) 00:24, 17 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Only implicitly Jewish?

[edit]

Greenberg, who is implicitly Jewish

Just saying: I think that is a rather, shall I say, pedantic, use of "implicit". It is quite true that the words "Jew" and "Judaism" are not said in the film, but how much more explicit than

  • Greenberg: What you are I would not eat.
  • The Actor who later plays the general: How dare you call me a ham?!

can you get?--2001:A61:260C:C01:74B1:7729:6255:BA1A (talk) 00:06, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Carole Lombard's Death

[edit]

How come there is no mention that the lead actress Carole Lombard died after production was finished but before the movie premiered? I think it bears mentioning, especially as she's a great actress (don't take my words for it, but that's what critics have said about her acting skills) 196.70.253.175 (talk) 15:22, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
