The Net (1923 film)

edit
  • ... that the silent film The Net was originally announced for January 1923 but didn't come out until almost a year later? "In January [1923] Fox will release a new set of six giant photoplays.... They are: ... 'The Net,'..."[1]; actual release Dec 2 1923[2]
    • ALT1:... that a Cleveland film critic said the acting in the 1923 film The Net "doesn't warrant complimentary adjectives"? [3]

I'm not generally a big fan of quotes as DYKs (especially here, from an anonymous critic), but I do personally think the Cleveland review's wording is amusing. ALT0 is probably safer, if less hooky.

  • This is a new article as stated. It does not contain any copyright issues and the image in the infobox has the correct information about it being in the public domain. Plus any quotes used in the Reception and legacy section are concise. Inside Moving Picture World it states 1922. The AFI source confirms it was released in 1923. So the hook fact checks out. ALT1 also checks out to the source provided to the film review. I like both hooks and I found the article interesting and well researched. This DYKN is good to go.Rain the 1 20:35, 2 February 2019 (UTC)
