Talk:The Slipper and the Rose

Critical response

Writing in The New York Times, critic Vincent Canby called the film "harmless", adding that the writers "stretched the fable without mercy, largely to accommodate a whole bunch of forgettable songs by the Shermans", and that, as the Prince and Cinderella, "Mr. Chamberlain and Miss Craven have impossible roles that are less like characters in a fairy tale than pictures on a jar of peanut butter." Vincent Canby - "Screen: Glass Slipper Into Sow's Ear", The New York Times, November 5, 1976. Retrieved December 1, 2006

I've restored the passage to the article (adding the notation that it does require registration). Drawing on response from critics is appropriate and does not violate NPOV. Excluding a citation because it comes from a limited-access site is like saying that citations from books are not allowable because not every editor or reader has access to every book. Based on the half-dozen or so reviews I have seen, Canby's critique is representative, and he was at the time of the film's release a major presence in film criticism.

Songs - merge proposal

An article as been created for each song in the story - but I think as these are doom to be stub sized articles forever they should be merged into the main article and redirects left. Any opinions? Madmedea 11:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Adding Credit

I was trying to add to the little box on the right that the costumes were done by Jean Hunnisett (a well-noted historical costumer whose "Patterns of History" are pretty much textbooks for any serious historical costumer), & I have not been able to do so.

Credit also due to Angela Morley as musical arranger and conductor, Marc Breaux as choreographer, David Frost was executive producer, Naim Attallah and John Asprey as production co-ordinators. Running time 146 minutes. Rating: Universal and fit for General viewing. So says my Daily Mail DVD. Stuffed cat (talk) 23:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

• Support per nomination. The full title appears on film posters as well as in the on-screen opening credits. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:07, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:SUBTITLE. RS mostly refer to it as just "The Slipper and the Rose", without the subtitle. (At least based on quickly checking the Telegraph obituary linked in the article, and the first 3 articles that came up when I searched nytimes.com for "The Slipper and the Rose".) Colin M (talk) 03:14, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Very well-known film by its primary title. Subtitle is completely unnecessary. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:10, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per WP:SUBTITLE and name used in sources. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:11, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose also per WP:COMMONNAME. This is analagous to the situation at the Dr Strangelove article and at least I knew that subtitle. MarnetteD|Talk 21:13, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose per all the above. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 06:46, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
