Marie of the Port (film)La Marie du port – The article was recently moved from its stable title "La Marie du port" to a literal English translation "Marie of the Port". [1]

Relevant policy states: "Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers; normally this means the title under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world."

And: "If the film has never been widely released in the English-speaking world, it is not assumed to have a commonly-recognized English name; in such cases, the native name is to be preferred over potentially variant translated titles used in English-language reliable sources."

In this case the film is best known in English speaking countries as La Marie du port.[2] [3] [4] . Major scholarly works in English also refer to the film under its French title. See for example, Turk, Edward Baron. Child of Paradise: Marcel Carné and the Golden Age of French Cinema. Harvard University Press, 1989, pp. 138-39, 440, 490 [5]

I therefore request that the page be reverted to La Marie du port. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. The Night Watch (talk) 04:19, 19 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
