The Girl (2012 HBO film)[edit]
- ... that the title of the 2012 film The Girl about Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren was inspired by Hitchcock's nickname for the actress?
- Reviewed: Saxxy Awards
Created by 12Justie (talk). 5x expanded by Paul MacDermott (talk). Nominated by Paul MacDermott (talk) (disclaimer) at 23:22, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
ALT 1: "... that the 2012 film The Girl explores the difficult working relationship between film director Alfred Hitchcock and actress Tippi Hedren?"- ALT 2: "... that Toby Jones's role as Alfred Hitchcock in the 2012 film The Girl required him to wear a fatsuit and prosthetic makeup to recreate the director's likeness?"
- ALT 3: "... that actor Toby Jones underwent 20 minutes of daily vocal warm up exercises to recreate Alfred Hitchcock's disinctive accent for the 2012 film The Girl?"
- Taken, reviewing...
- Definately long enough, 5x expanded within days of nomination (actually 10x), QPQ done, all blurbs are interesting but i think ALT2 is best.
- Also strongly reccomend using the cover image/poster for the DYK. Its a good one and has that old-time classic feel which is great for the main page
Alt1 is unsourced, as is plot and cast. Other than that ready to go.Lihaas (talk) 07:18, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- No probs if you want to strike ALT1 out. I think 2 would be my preferred choice as well. Paul MacDermott (talk) 12:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
- Struck ALT1. Still needs a source for the article's Cast section before this can be approved. Plot sections do not need a source citation per DYK rules. Also per DYK rules, fair-use images like the cover/image poster are not eligible for use as DYK images, which may well appear on the Wikipedia main page. Only images from Commons with proper licenses, or with similar licenses but not yet on Commons, may be used in DYK submissions. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:53, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
- Used the film's BBC entry, but had to knock out a couple of cast members who weren't referenced there. Should be ok now. Paul MacDermott (talk) 09:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Review needed now that issues raised above have been addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1 is still not sourced and its in the lead.Lihaas (talk) 05:15, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
- Tweaks to lead which now make ALT1 obsolete. The film is more about Hitchcock's alleged obsession with the actress. Paul MacDermott (talk) 14:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
