Talk:Mr. Belvedere Rings the Bell

Odds on "Lynn Belvedere" and "Mr. Belvedere" being same character

   Perhaps most readers will conclude they are one, but the article does not say so. I am leaving it to others to see if the other articles on the Mr B films clarify or confuse the situation, for several reasons:

1. I came here because the playwright's bio was a red link, and i intend to deal with that w/o further distraction.
2. Even if the info is there in an article that the accompanying article links to -- available to those willing to follow the links -- this one is failing to state itself clearly, and nothing gets finished by editors who are willing to "work on everything" and thus to pursue repair of every shortcoming they newly discover.
3. It's probably a better task for someone who comes here out of an authentic interest in the subject matter, rather than (as in my case) because of interest in a tangentially related topic that links to this one.

The first sentence pretty much implies they are one and the same. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:41, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
