Talk:The Paradine Case

Comment on User:Ed Fitzgerald's edits

Hi Ed. You are known for your dislike of the consensus process, and prefering a more individualistic approach. And I do respect that. However, I feel you also need to recognise the consensus method on Wikipedia, as the project is based on that. You are working against consensus on The Paradine Case. Your revert of The Paradine Case puts the article into a format that you like as an individual, however, in cases where there is dispute between individuals on how to present an article we have discussions, and form a consensus. We then record the consensus in essays and guidelines. You are fully aware of this. If you wish to present an article against consensus, that is fine until someone puts the article into the consensual format. At that point you need to back away gently and go work elsewhere. Wikipedia is a big place and has many articles. However, if you do wish people to consider and take your ideas seriously, please do enter into a discussion on the talkpages of the relevant guidelines, essays, WikiProjects. Continuing to work against consensus, without entering into a discusion in the appropriate places, could be seen as disruptive. You are making work for yourself and others, and you are essentially putting your ego above the needs of Wikipedia as a whole. Regards SilkTork *^YES! 13:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Accuracy of plot summary?

The last sentence says that Keane goes home to his wife, but this is not right. The whole point is that he does not go home to his wife, being too afraid and ashamed. She comes to find him, offering both reconciliation with her and hope for his future.Hors-la-loi 07:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hors-la-loi (talk • contribs)

I agree. Perhaps the last sentence could be changed to "He goes to Sir Simon feeling that his career is in ruins. His wife finds him there, offering both reconciliation with her and hope for his future."DavidRBarker (talk) 00:33, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Yes, good point! I have changed the text according to what DavidRBarker suggested. Invertzoo (talk) 12:54, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Location shots

The article suggests that the Paradine Case was filmed entirely in Holywood. This is not the case. The scenes in Cumbria were clearly filmed on location. The first shots of Gregory Peck travelling by horse and cart were taken near Threlkeld where they are seen crossing a pack horse bridge in the Vale os St John with Lonscale Fell in the background. Next they go down the hill into Uldale, with Binsey Fell in the background. They are next seen in a country house near to a lake. This is most likely to be Lingholm near Portinscale on Derwentwater. Cumberland Station is a fictional name. Braithwaite Station may have been used. Uldale is not immediately recognisable in the film, as the Church has been demolished since the film was made. I made the connection with Uldale when I visited the local pub and saw old pictures of the village there. One shot of the cart shows the house next to the pub. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DARLISLE53 (talk • contribs) 22:12, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

You are correct! I changed the text to reflect the fact that all of the establishing shots in the Lake District were actually filmed there, and not in California. However it seems to be the case that no shots which involved any of the actual cast members (not including a body double for Gregory Peck, shown only from behind in the pony and trap) were filmed there.

Oh the Legality!

If a lawyer out of amorous obsession with his client conducted himself as Keane does, would that be a mis-trial? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.108.27.26 (talk) 18:09, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
