Title of this article
editA 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
editI'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
editI'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)

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:12, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
Infobox and lead
edit- Improve the non-free use rationale for the poster with this template.
- Here and in the rest of the article, films should have year dates after their first mention.
- Done. I didn't add the years to ones where the title is re-used or the year is noted earlier in a sentence. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:17, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Remove the commas after "in 1961", "United Kingdom", and "reviews in Italy".
Plot and cast
edit- Plot is under 700 words, so that passes WP:FILMPLOT.
- Remove the commas after "vows revenge" and "of her life".
- I think "cricifix" might be a typo.
- Indeed it is. Fixed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:19, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- Add a comma after "beauty restored".
- Is there a reason why the "credits adapted" sentence is small?
- Not that I know of. I've restored it back to normal size. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:19, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Production
edit- Remove the comma after "film of his own".
- "being around" → "was around" (to remove the double use of "being")
- The word "bares" might be another typo.
- Changed phrasing. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- Remove the comma after "unsatisfactory".
- Add commas after "Choma Kruvajan", "Khoma Brut", "Bachelor of Hearts (1958)"
- "travelled" → "traveled" (consistency)
- Remove the commas after "later in life", "cast in bronze", "scenes together", "George Higgins III", and "Andrej and Kruvajan".
- "scene which" → "scene in which"
Release
edit- "licence" → "license" (consistency)
Reception
edit- This section looks good.
Legacy and influence
edit- "materialised" → "materialized" (consistency)
References
edit- Archive sources.
- Done. Think there was only the NYT article not archived. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:23, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
