Talk:Black Sunday (1960 film)

Title of this article

A this is english wikipedia, i believe the english title should take precedence instead of the italian one? but which english title? 82.26.17.115 12:49, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

If it is to be renamed, which I agree is probably a good idea, it should be changed to Black Sunday (1960 film), as that is the film's most commonly utilized title in various reference books/periodicals/websites. -Hal Raglan 01:26, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Expansion

I've re-written this article. A lot of it has stayed in-tact or just expanded upon. The plot is the same, I've removed some reviews which I feel don't really express a lot (I actually found the '"Castle of Frankenstein magazine one, but its just an anonymous article saying its one of the best horror films in recent years, and does not go into details). I've moved around some details and removed unsourced bits and cleaned up the citation. If anyone wants to bring anything back, I don't think it's too bad of an idea, but just maybe format the source up a pinch. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:04, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Andrzejbanas! I've pretty much finished my usual "expansions". Feel free to make any changes or suggestions that you wish - I think it's much closer to our work on Blood and Black Lace and Danger: Diabolik now. PatTheMoron (talk) 02:22, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Great work! I've went through it to make sure some of it matches copyright and MOS:FILM edits, but you added a lot of strong work. Thanks for your help! Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:52, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm fine with most of the clean-up you've done with my alterations, but I'm just wondering if the "Asa's execution" image could be used in place of the image of Steele that is presently used. Or should it be a screenshot from the Blu-ray as in Blood and Black Lace? I just think that that example of the film's iconography would be helpful for the readers in both illustrating the impact it had on Steele's career and the movie's influence. 13:08, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

That's the issue, as there is no real "one picture" that might properly capture how the image relates to other films as an influence. I was considering have a side-by-side comparison of the pierced face of Asa and the woman in Tim Burton's film, but it's not quite as strong the Blood and Black Lace one, which has been re-done at least three times in film.

Infobox

I've left the writing credits and cinematography credits blank in the infobox per the prose in the article. As research has dictated, it's not clear who wrote the film and the credits very from sources beyond the film credits. If you want to add anything there, please discuss it here first as it does not seem to be clear. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:11, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

• Here and in the rest of the article, films should have year dates after their first mention.

Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Plot and cast

Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:19, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
