Talk:In & Out (film)

Untitled

The film was widely noted at the time for its same-sex kiss between Kevin Kline and Tom Selleck. Though not a first for American cinema, Kline and Selleck were the most established stars to date to portray a kiss between two gay men.

How is "most established stars" an objective rating? Michael Caine and Christopher Reeve kissed in 1982's Deathtrap. I'm removing this line as subjective and false. -Branddobbe 02:21, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

agreed; Deathtrap did it first. Uucp 03:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Because of death

"Goodman, who composed several of Oz's previous films, was unable to do so due to his death" Does this line seem a little too awkward/comedic? I can't think of a better way to word it. It doesn't sound right though. 198.6.33.13 (talk) 16:28, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Changed to "Goodman, who composed several of Oz's previous films, died before he could do so." I welcome other options. DonIago (talk) 16:50, 29 May 2015 (UTC)

Trivia Addition

I'm kind of baffled that when I went looking for references to this, I found absolutely none. I think it's a fairly significant bit of trivia regarding the film. But it wasn't even on the IMDB trivia page (though I just submitted it). So I'd like some opinions. I want to add it, but it seems a bad idea to create a trivia section just for this fact. Maybe add it to the Production section?

>Howard being a dedicated fan of Barbra Streisand is a recurring joke throughout the film, and in this film, Bob Newhart plays the school principle who has to decide the fate of Howard's job, amid a lot of controversy and press. In 1970 Newhart played a school administrator in the Barbra Streisand film On a Clear Day You Can See Forever (1970), where he had to decide on the fate of Professor Marc Chabot's job (portrayed by Yves Montand ), amid a lot of controversy and press.

That's how I wrote it for the IMDB page, but I might make the language up a bit more conversational for adding it in here. Thoughts? CleverTitania (talk) 03:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Have any reliable sources made note of it? DonIago (talk) 05:20, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

I kind of thought "found none" in regard to "looking for references" made it clear that no one else online has noted this before now, that I could find. But I've also almost never seen a "source" on this kind of trivia. It's not as if the fact that Newhart played both roles needs a source to verify it as factually correct.CleverTitania (talk) 07:41, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

True, but that also suggests to me that it is in fact just WP:TRIVIA, and I'm strongly opposed to adding such material if no third-party source has taken note of it. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 15:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Question about the film's title.

In watching the movie today, I was asking myself the question: why is the movie's title "In & Out?"

We could not answer my question by watching the movie. So I came here to try and find an answer. But to my surprise I wasn't able to find in the WP article an answer to the question. My best guess, in thinking about it, would be:

"In (the closet) & Out (of the closet)." Is this the correct answer? Do any movie experts out there have a verified and/or verifiable answer to this question? Thank you, warshy ^(¥¥) 00:48, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
