Page title[edit]

Why has this page been called 'The Thirty Nine Steps (2008 film)' when it should be titled 'The 39 Steps (2008 film)'? The name of the production is 'The 39 Steps', not 'The Thirty Nine Steps'. See here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00gd1rq/The_39_Steps/ for evidence.Godmanchester (talk) 01:03, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but I have moved it. matt br 08:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Medicinal Mustard[edit]

So mustard is antibacterial but I'm not sure I'd want to paste anything spicy on sensitive skin like they did on their burns. From the Mustard plaster article it doesn't seem like the best idea and even then that is different from spreading table mustard on a wound. Maybe this was something from the book? Seems daft but I cant find enough information to add it under artistic licenses or innacurracies in the film -- Horkana (talk) 04:49, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion pertaining to non-free image(s) used in article[edit]

A cleanup page has been created for WP:FILMS' spotlight articles. One element that is being checked in ensuring the quality of the articles is the non-free images. Currently, one or more non-free images being used in this article are under discussion to determine if they should be removed from the article for not complying with non-free and fair use requirements. Please comment at the corresponding section within the image cleanup listing. Before contributing the discussion, please first read WP:FILMNFI concerning non-free images. Ideally the discussions pertaining to the spotlight articles will be concluded by the end of June, so please comment soon to ensure there is clear consensus. --Happy editing!

Clarification needed[edit]

The last line of the intro section ends "following the use of props made after the setting for the film." The meaning is unclear, it would be nice if someone who knows what it's supposed to say would rewrite it. Thanks. Tlqk56 (talk) 23:58, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article Promotion[edit]

I promote this article to be a good article. Most of these issues have been solved. Relative to other movie pages, the context and references in this are done well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vivekbraju (talk • contribs) 04:21, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
