editIt is not a talkie, but it is not a silent film either- the music is synchronized to the picture and is essential to the film. Nitpyck (talk) 06:11, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- Sunrise also has synchronized sound, and it's been placed on several lists of greatest silent films. It's still a silent film. Andrzejbanas (talk) 23:23, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- But are the music and sound effects as essential to that 1927 film as to the modern ballet? I'm sure Pages would fit under the silent film definition but doing so misrepresents what is essentially a dance-with-music-film. (I chose Nitpyck cause I try or make small distinctions in these articles.) Nitpyck (talk) 06:59, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
- Have you seen this film? It still includes several non-dance scenes and such. In Sunrise, it was quite the big deal. You even hear people shouting during one scene in it where characters are in the middle of the road. If you'd like, I can cite several sources that refer to this film as silent.

- mea culpa I'm convinced by your arguments. I accept a either talkie or silent as a reasonable dichotomy. Nitpyck (talk) 07:07, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
- Glad we have it sorted out! Cheers. Andrzejbanas (talk) 14:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

The article barely mentions, below a rambling and almost completely redundant plot summary, that this is first and foremost a film of a ballet. The choreographer, Mark Godden, is never even mentioned, nor is that fact that the dance, and hence the film, has its origin in the Royal Winnipeg Ballet production. I'd try to do something about this, but I hardly know where to begin... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.151.139 (talk) 21:58, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
Deco Dawson
editAn IP continuously is adding Deco Dawson as a co-director. I have the film on my shelf and I've checked several databases and reviews (BFI, Allmovie, Variety, etc.) and I can't find her credited as a director. Before adding her, please find a source per WP:RS. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
