Can anyone explain this paragraph to me... I think it needs some serious editing: "The musical Silk Stockings was written with this film as the source of its book. It also provided the basis of a 1957 film directed by Rouben Mamoulian and starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse."

I *think* a reasonable translation would be:

"The musical Silk Stockings was based upon this film, and was adapted into a 1957 film directed by Rouben Mamoulian, starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse."

But it's so far from actual english that I'm not sure if that's what the intended message was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.248.209.176 (talk) 01:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bela Lugosi in a Lubitsch Film?

This is the only film after "Dracula" that was a non horror/mystery role for Bela Lugosi. Can anyone out there confim what I read years ago that director Lubitch gave Lugosi the character role of Commissar Razinin so he could break out of his type casting?

The Forty-First

Ninotchka certainly used and parodied The Forty-First (1927 film) as a source, but I can't find a WP:RS to say so. Can anybody? --Nbauman (talk) 22:47, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Ninotchka" was never banned in Soviet Union and its satellite states.

This is a false information. In 1939 USSR had no satellite states yet, and as the film was released that year it was shown in European countries everywhere, including eastern EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, which at the time have not been made into USSR's satellite states, and continued to be either independent sovereign states or states under German occupation at least up to the end of 1944.

The film's rights have never been acquired for distribution in the USSR, but this means simply this - not acquired and therefore not distributed. There was never a ban on this film or any others that have not been sold to the USSR. "Gone With The Wind" for example was acquired for distribution only in 1989.Aspalex (talk) 11:42, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
