Comments[edit]

changed "rise of DVD-Rs" to just "rise of DVDs" since the PHYSICAL file-sharing medium is privy to more than just one format of DVDs (DVD+R, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, etc).

Rewrite of article[edit]

I have rewritten the article, adding references and detailed production history. I believe this provides a greater depth to the article and to the appreciation of the subject. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:28, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Release Year[edit]

@User:Youcandobetter Please can we discuss our dispute here? I don't understand your reasoning, and what sources u were referring to? The BBFC for example says it came out in 1953: https://www.bbfc.co.uk/release/fear-and-desire-q29sbgvjdglvbjpwwc0ynjy1mdc (this should be added as a source for the runtime in the infobox), the only bit of the article which says it's a 1952 film is the lead sentence whilst the search description and external links all say '53, and generally that sentence is the only place I have ever seen saying this is not a '52 film - on or off Wikipedia Stephanie921 (talk) 17:58, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't get ur point. This is just when it was at the festival, which usually never counts as the release date. Usually the premiere before the release date counts, which was in 53. Festivals are just unreleased special screenings @User:Youcandobetter Stephanie921 (talk) 19:13, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the case. Festival dates count all throughout Wikipedia, they just aren't always in the infobox because a lot of films don't get festival screenings. The cases when festival appearances don't count are at private screenings for investors, or invite-only private festivals. This appears to be a public screening.
