I noticed that this article had been in the queue for almost two months - I'll have a look at it. Super Mario Man 21:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Bob. Given that the topic seems to be a fairly obscure one, this is a strong article. I believe that it meets all the relevant standards and, as such, will pass it now - I can think of no compelling reason for putting it in hold. As with A Ghost Story for Christmas, I've tweaked the prose in places, added a few links and reviewed the categories. Although much of the content is reliant on the DVD notes (a primary source) for its citations, that's probably rather difficult to avoid.

If I had to make a suggestion, I would recommend expanding the lead section slightly to provide a little more background on the production and reception, but what is currently presented in the introduction seems perfectly acceptable to me as far as GA reviewing is concerned. Certainly the article appears to be sufficiently comprehensive - I especially like the production section. And, I have to say - "Early location-scouting proved fruitful, and the production was bolstered by a meeting with Bishop Wood in March 1974, during which the bishop gave the production his blessing" - a suitably topical note to end that paragraph!

Another excellent effort here - well done. Regards, Super Mario Man 23:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
