Talk:The Incredible Shrinking Woman

Untitled
That was possibly the worst written plot summary I've ever seen. Unfortunately, as I haven't seen the film, all I can do right now is sit and snipe. - Delaney

I saw the movie when it first came out, so I don't remember a lot of the details. Cleaned up the grammar and spelling as best I could. = flaminghomeryto —Preceding undated comment added 02:24, 11 June 2011 (UTC).

Fat to be trimmed
There's quite a bit of wild conjecture in the Summary section that could use a clean-up.

Distribution?
This film apparently isn't available on DVD. Anyone have any idea why? Maybe it could be explained in the article. Samuel Grant (talk) 04:28, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

The currently stated cause is wrong
I have seen this film quite a few time I know that claim in article that the exposure to the "strange mixture of household chemicals" is false. Anybody who has actually seen this film can tell you that the experimental perfume, under the tentative title Sex Pot, was the sole cause of Pat Cramer's uncontrollable miniaturization. As following the accidental perfume dowsing on herself and her sweater by her husband, followed by their consummation, the camera pans back to the bathroom sink where it shows the sweater glowing, and then the following morning Pat can't find it where she left it. Suggesting that the sweater shrank away to nothing overnight. Plus despite the Doctor's diagnosis of the household cleaners as the cause, he states in the secret meeting that there was something in her blood that was causing to become smaller. Meaning that none of the doctors and researchers really knew what was causing her reduction. Plus you have Ned Betty's character who was Pat's husband's boss in on the "Shrink the World" plan.

 * Well, this issue is obviously more important to you than to me, so I bow out. Though I wasn't the editor who made the Ned Betty error. Bkatcher (talk) 04:00, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Jane Wagner
This sentence seems a little misleading, but I'm not sure how to fix it:


 * The film's writer, Jane Wagner, is Tomlin's wife and frequent collaborator.

As written, this implies that they've been married since at least 1981, which of course isn't true. But the obvious change to something like "future wife" or "now-wife" would be even more misleading, because it would imply they weren't together as a couple until some time after 1981.

Assuming other people see the same problem with the sentence, does anyone have any ideas on how to improve it? --157.131.202.156 (talk) 07:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
