Freed Unit?

edit

Should this article explain what that is?

I linked to the Wikipedia article on Arthur Freed, which has a brief explanation of the "Freed Unit". JeanColumbia 19:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Location Shooting?

edit

The previous version's statement that the film On the Town was the first to use location shooting seems pretty far-fetched (what about Nanook of the North?); it was at the time unusual to combine location and studio footage, especially in a musical, and I've updated the text to reflect that.

High school

edit

Is a high school production really notable? Because if it is, we'll have hundreds of these paragraphs on pages like Oklahoma!, Annie Get Your Gun, Fiddler on the Roof, etc. (Incidentally, "flawless performances" is a biased statement). I've removed the paragraph. Keppa 03:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Musical Numbers

edit

This list is extremely misleading, as it includes the show's songs, songs written for the film that are never used in stage revivals, and one song cut from the show, all without any identification to warn the reader that this is a composite list. I recommend breaking it up into separate lists or using parenthetical IDs. Fred Lane 18:48, 2 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I agree, the list is misleading. I split it into Broadway and movie. Will check with revival data to make sure the Broadway list is correct. JeanColumbia 17:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Musical Numbers 2

edit

Is it known why the Bernstein songs were dropped for the film? Having recently seen the ENO revival and the film it doesn't make sense to me. TheOneOnTheLeft (talk) 18:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Plot

edit

The plot added on Sept 6, 2011 is a cut-and-paste from the Tams-Witmark "Synopsis" at [1], and appears to be a copy violation. I have reverted to the earlier good version. See WP:COPY for the Wikipedia policy.
