In 1953, he joined his brothers, Harold and Walter, at Monogram Pictures, in Los Angeles, CA.^[2] He was the associate producer on "The Human Jungle"(1954) and "Arrow In The Dust"(1957).^[3] In 1957, the Mirisch brothers decided to leave Monogram and formed their own company.^[1]

The Mirisch Company produced films that received 88 Academy Award nominations and won 28. Their productions included: "Some Like It Hot"(1959), "The Horse Soldiers"(1959), "The Apartment"(1960)(Best Picture Academy Award), "The Magnificent Seven"(1960) which spawned three sequels, a television movie and a television series; "West Side Story"(1961)(Best Picture Academy Award), "The Great Escape"(1963), "The Pink Panther"(1963), "A Shot in the Dark"(1963), "Hawaii"(1966), "The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming", "In the Heat of the Night"(1967)(Best Picture Academy Award), "Fiddler on the Roof", "Midway"(1976),"Same Time, Next Year"(1978), and "The Pink Panther" TV series(1993).^[4]

Declined. Request is dated and therefore no longer considered an improvement. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 16:43, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to reopen this request, but after an attempt by the user to make the changes himself, I now have to refactor my reasoning for my initial decline. As stated by Zigzig20s, the content that is currently on the article is properly sourced, and changing the article to your version, as you already saw by the reversion made by said user, would take out content that is already properly sourced. If you would like, you can come back with a different request that incorporates the references that already exist and we will consider options from there. Thank you for your request, nonetheless. jd22292 (Jalen D. Folf) (talk) 05:36, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changes requested[edit]

I requested changes in the beginning of March. I know the requests are backed up. I was just wondering how much longer it might take for the changes to be implemented.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmassistant (talk • contribs) 17:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
