Quote in budget[edit]

This quote, which I removed from the budget subsection, has to be sourced:

Schühly of course is a Munchausen character if there ever was one. The making of the movie is described in details in a book called Losing the Light by Andrew Yule. Schühly comes across as a hopeless buffoon, with little or no knowledge of the movie business, a conjurer of past triumphs that never existed or have been discredited by the real miracle workers, a credit-stealer par excellence when it suits him, a name dropper extraordinaire, more interested in his own publicity than in anything else. The stunts he pulled, the incompetence he displayed, according to the people interviewed, left one either visibly shaken or furious or rolling their eyes.

Is this a direct quote from someone? If so, who? Where is the quote taken from? If this is a paraphrase, it needs more work, because this is a description of a living person, and could be construed as libellous. ---RepublicanJacobite_TheFortyFive 03:30, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent disappearance[edit]

In the final sentence of the Plot summary there is the oxymoron, As the Baron and Bucephalus are bathed in the light of the sun parting through the clouds, they apparently disappear.

Would I be justified in rewording this?

Sure. I'm not sure I like "[sunlight] parting through the clouds" much either... --Fru1tbat (talk) 14:01, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality of the film?[edit]

The BFI source that was added to the film in the last day or so lists this film as a British/American/West German co-production. The sources I have found, though, list two British production companies and one Italian company. Is there one reliable source that can sort this out? Beyond distribution, was Columbia involved in the production? If not, in what way is this an American film? I can't find any German companies involved in the production. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 13:00, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's this. DonIago (talk) 17:07, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That would be more helpful if it listed the production companies. There's no mention there of Italy. ---The Old Jacobite_{The '45} 17:21, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, best I could come up with while trying to deal with a few other things. DonIago (talk) 17:22, 15 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the Additional Citations template[edit]

I think it is time to remove the citation needed template. There are plenty of wikilinks and citations to support the article's content. Jackfork (talk) 05:28, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Background, Accolades and Home media aren't especially well-sourced. DonIago (talk) 00:16, 19 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
