Talk:Androcles and the Lion (1952 film)

Untitled

Did the person that wrote this complete nonsense ever read the film?????? The plot given is that of Androclus from Aesop's fables. The plot of the actual film is based on George Bernard Shaw's, "Androcles and the Lion", and actually fairly well follows that play and even reproduces much of Shaw's humour (without his philosophical asides). I should kno2 - I have just watched the film, ending about quarter of an hour ago. The plot review given was a disgraceful cut-and-paste from Wikipedia's article on "Aesop's Fables". Whoever perpetrated this dreck never watched the film, should never have written the article, being thereby unfit, and should be thoroughly ashamed. I give my name to stand by my words, Paul McKeown.

Fair use rationale for Image:Pascal androcles.jpg

Image:Pascal androcles.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Harpo as Androcles

Harpo Marx was originally cast as Androcles before being replaced by Alan Young (source: The Marx Brothers Encyclopedia: Glen Mitchell 1992). Alan went on to great fame with another animal :Mr Ed. MBG 119.11.8.52 (talk) 10:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Further development

This article is in need of further development, and citations. An excellent source for anyone who has the time is "The Disciple and His Devil" by Valerie Pascal. Several rare facts about the film are in it, including a law suit between Pascal and RKO head Howard Hughes over a vestal virgins scene inserted by Hughes to give the film sex-appeal, as well as more detail about the aborted screen testing of Harpo Marx for the leading roll.
