I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
- ... that I've Heard the Mermaids Singing was the second movie screened at 1987 film festivals to have its title taken from T. S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"? Source: "I've Heard the Mermaids Singing is the second film this season - after Eat the Peach a few weeks ago - to take its name from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," one of Eliot's most widely read poems." ([1])
- ALT1:... that I've Heard the Mermaids Singing (1987) was the first English-language Canadian feature film to win an award at the Cannes Film Festival? Source: "Because of Mermaids' profitability and status as the first English-Canadian feature film to win an award at Cannes...." ([2])
- Reviewed: my second DYK nomination, so no QPQ required
5x expanded by NOLA1982 (talk). Self-nominated at 14:39, 18 May 2020 (UTC).
5x expansion is new enough. Long enough (5x expanded). The interesting ALT0 hook is preferred, as "first" type hooks (eg ALT1) can be rather dull. Hook, and all paras, bar the "Plot" section (cites not needed) are well-cited. Earwig's Copyvio Detector found no close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations or plagiarism. NPOV. No QPQ required. Good to go. Edwardx (talk) 13:37, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
