I'll pick this one up. Allow me some time to analyze the page and see what needs to be improved. Rusted AutoParts 20:06, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

• Lead/Infobox

• Plot
  • Plot meets 700 word maximum per WP:FILMPLOT.

 Done 693 as of now Chompy Ace 05:28, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Cast
  • Are the characters Sister Catherine and Sister Agatha vital to the film? If not I'd take them out of the cast section.

 Done, removed Chompy Ace 05:27, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Background
  • Scale back the size of the double image of Rodgers and Hammerstein. It's a bit bigger than the other images in the article.

 Done reduced the width of 100px, hence this name Chompy Ace 05:34, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• • I don't think the pipe to 1949 in literature is necessary.

 Done removed pipe Chompy Ace 05:29, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• • The pipe "Austrian folk songs" doesn't lead to an article about Austrian folk songs. If any piping is necessary, just take Austrian and put it unlinked by itself. Otherwise I don't see the vitality of the piping here either.

 Done removed link Chompy Ace 05:30, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

• Production
  • The opening paragraph I feel is largely needless, and the information can be divided up into its respective, relevant sections.

 Done opening paragraph removed Chompy Ace 04:37, 27 December 2020 (UTC)

• • "Lehman completed the first draft on September 10, 1963 and sent it to Wyler, who had no suggestions or changes" add "to add" at the end.

• • "Meanwhile, Wise, whose film The Sand Pebbles had been postponed, read Lehman's first draft, was impressed by what he read, and agreed to direct the film. Wise joined the picture in October 1963" This can be merged together. "Meanwhile, Wise, whose film The Sand Pebbles had been postponed, read Lehman's first draft, was impressed by what he read, and agreed to direct the film, joining the picture in October 1963".

• • "Plummer especially helped transform a character lacking substance into a stronger, more forceful complex figure with a wry sense of humor and a darker edge" switch out "transform" for "change".
