Superbly written and the coverage is probably as thorough as we can hope for (notwithstanding the one-liner "synopsis" which is somewhat amusing in itself---such a pity that the film is lost!!). Ticks all the boxes easily; no signs of copyvio as far as I can see. I like the original hook much better. Cheers, --KINGofLETTUCE 👑 🥬 07:06, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
