Office reference?
Is the Office episode really a "reference" to the film? It sounds pretty tenuously related to me (haven't seen the episode, and it's been a while since I last saw the film). If so, the connection should be explained more explicitly. - dcljr (talk) 09:04, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

dingbat
(Mad magazine ref) terribly minor point ... but symbols used to represent profanity (e.g. $%?) aren't technically dingbats, which is a printing term for non-standard graphics used to fill blank page-space. I'd love to know if there is a correct term for this profanity representation, and my research skills aren't up to the task. I suspect the proper term (predating the well known typeface)is wingdings 131.172.99.15 (talk) 10:14, 15 September 2008 (UTC)snaxalotl

the plot
I wish i knew what the plot was. i have never seen the play. johno95 (talk) 16:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I added a plot synopsis that's longer than I prefer, but I feel this is the type of film you either summarize in a couple of sentences or discuss at length. Once you start with a detailed account, it's difficult to decide what to eliminate. If someone wants to trim it, please feel free to do so. LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 18:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Filming.
Most of the movie was shot on Warner Brothers sound stages in Burbank, as referenced on IMDB's filming locations page for this title. Accordingly, I've modified the sentence which seemed to imply that it was shot entirely on location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.173.115.228 (talk) 20:52, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

the statement that the play was kept intact is a falsehood
many of Martha’s monologues are excised in the film including her 3 page monologue at the top of Act 3 “daddy red eyes “ in the film she enters and goes right into the end of the section with clink clink other monologues have been clipped in the film 2601:700:8000:B790:CB2:E8E9:A7E8:E23D (talk) 18:03, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

"Entangled"?
Under the heading "Plot", the two final sentences of the first paragraph read "As the four drink, Martha and George engage in scathing verbal abuse in front of Nick and Honey. The younger couple is first embarrassed and later entangled. "Embarrassed" is perfectly reasonable. "Entangled" is nonsensical. In literary terms, "entangled" describes a condition in which characters find themselves, not an emotional reaction to an incident. There must be a better way to describe this portion of the plot.

 * The sentence does describe a condition in which these characters find themselves. Nick and Honey are initially embarrassed (emotional reaction) by Martha and George's arguing; as the plot develops (later) they are drawn into the squabbling (condition in which they find themselves). It seems a perfectly good way to describe the outline their plot arc. Captainllama (talk) 21:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
