Talk:You Can't Take It with You (play)

Untitled

I deleted the overview because it is a direct lift off the back of the script. please fix it. DarkSideMoon —Preceding comment was added at 01:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Kirby

During the play, when Mr. Kirby meets the Grand Dutchess Olga Katrina, his first name is revealed as Mr. Anthony Kirby. In the "Character" section of the article, I think his first name should be included.

The Movie and the Play

I've seen both (there was a superb PBS production about 20 years ago), and my (faulty) memory is that there are significant differences between the two. The synopsis is presumably of the play, but this is nowhere stated. Any differences should be noted and discussed.

Miscellaneous Comments / Questions

Why is a Pulitzer Prize winning play only of mid importance to the Theatre Project?

Why is there a mention of who starred in the film version of the play in the article when the film version has its own (separate) article?

Why isn't there a mention of who starred in the original play? (It's in the script, so it's not that difficult to research.) I'm not asking for subsequent productions. Who really cares that I am in the play this weekend?

Requested move 10 July 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to You Can't Take It with You (play). Dab page moved to base location. Jenks24 (talk) 14:06, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You Can't Take It with You → You Can't Take It With You – There is equal emphasis on the word "With" in this (irregular) title, and it should therefore be capitalized. You'll notice the vast majority of reliable sources capitalize it, too. Film Fan 04:50, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest move to You Can't Take It With You (play).

also move You Can't Take It with You (album) → You Can't Take It With You (album) also per common use.

and You Can't Take It with You (disambiguation) → You Can't Take It With You (disambiguation)

and using You Can't Take It with You as a redirect to You Can't Take It With You (disambiguation).

This is on the basis that title of the navigation page needs to be disambiguated from the titles of other pages named "You Can't Take It With You" according to WP:AT.

Good suggestions. Film Fan 06:13, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose since the suggestion seems contrary to MOS:CT. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:51, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Every outlet that uses a similar MOS still recognizes this title as an exception. Common use should trump MOS in this case. It simply doesn't make sense to use a lower case "W" in this title. The two words in the title with the most emphasis are "Can't" and "With." Film Fan 03:14, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - This goes against WP:NCCAPS. Should be strongly enforced. No objection to adding "(play)" though. George Ho (talk) 18:37, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Those guidelines are there because in 99.9% of cases, the word "With" does not have prominence in the title. This title fits in the other 0.1%. Mindlessly following the guidelines does nobody any favors. Film Fan 08:57, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose but add (play) and move dab to baseline the movie is equally notable. In ictu oculi (talk) 02:20, 12 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CT. Aspects (talk) 05:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
