Hello, Sister! (1933 film)

(

)

... that the title of the 1933 pre-Code film Hello, Sister! is a pick-up line? Source: "In reviewing the film, MPH noted that the title was "the salutation of the 'pick-up.'" (AFI Catalog of Feature Films)
- ALT1:... that while directing Walking Down Broadway, Erich von Stroheim tied a 12 ft (3.7 m) length of thread to James Dunn's pants leg and tugged on it whenever he wanted the actor to emote more? Source: "He also details von Stroheim’s demand for a twelve foot piece of thread to tie up James Dunn’s pants leg. The uncompromising director gave his Dunn Jr. a tug whenever he required more hysterics than the actor was emoting." (Not Coming to a Theater Near You)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall:

Plot section of the article does not include any citations, but OK as WP:FILMPLOT says "Since films are primary sources in their articles, basic descriptions of their plots are acceptable without reference to an outside source." Earwig's Copyvio Detector turned up a 66.5% match, but this consists of either direct, attributed quotes or other non-problematic matches like titles. No issues with the other matches found either. Article has been nominated in time following expansion, appears balanced, and has appropriate citations. QPQ has been completed. Both hooks are interesting and I think both are fine - my personal preference is ALT1, as that's the one that made me click through to the article. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:45, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
