I'll take this one. I was initially looking at improving this article but someone has done so already. Rusted AutoParts 20:54, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lead/Infobox

[edit]
  • "The film adaptation began as early as 1961" feels a little awkward as a sentence. Perhaps "Development of a film adaptation of the book first began in 1961" or something under those lines.
  • Darien, Connecticut should have the piping removed here so it's just Darien, Connecticut.
    • checkY fixed as suggested

Plot

[edit]
  • Plot meets WP:FILMPLOT, all good there.
  • "Frank later secures a sales position with Knox Machines, for which his father worked for 20 years, and he and April marry". Is it prudent to include that his father worked there? I don't think his father ever appears in the film nor plays a vital part of the story.
  • Should probably try to reduce the amount of sentences in this section. For example, I feel sentences 4 and 5 could be merged.
    • checkY removed father bit, merged a few paragraphs

Cast

[edit]
  • The listed names isn't that extensive a cast list, not sure the divided columns are necessary.
    • checkY removed third column

Production

[edit]
  • I'm thinking Development and Casting can be just one section. The DiCaprio/Winslet images would feel more in place there than the filming section, and with Casting being too small a section to include an image without bleeding into Filming, the two becoming one feels ideal.
  • With the images moved to the above section, perhaps Filming could include an image of Deakins with a blurb about the cinematography of the film.
    • checkY merged as suggested, image of Deakins added

Release

[edit]

Reception

[edit]
  • The top ten lists should have individual sources.
    • checkY fixed as suggested

Awards and nominations
