Talk:Why Change Your Wife?

Release date
The article currently states that the film was released on May 22, 1920. There is an advert on page 20 of the April 24, 1920 issue of the New York Times (archived here) which states that the film "OPENS TO-DAY AT 2 P.M..", which would indicate a much earlier opening date. Is this suitable as a source?

(For those who cannot access the NYT, there is a scan of the advert here; scroll down to view it.)

Thanks in advance for input. --Mondo Beer (talk) 07:46, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * - yes, the NYT is a reliable source, and I've changed the date per the link you provided. Thanks!  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 11:58, 20 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and may I apologise for what follows? Someone else in that Twitter thread has pointed me in the direction of the AFICatalog entry for the film. It has this to say: "The film had various pre-release showings throughout the country before its national release on 2 May 1920", which seems to muddy the waters somewhat.  IMDb has a release date of February 29 in Los Angeles, although I'm not sure how trustworthy that site is.  --Mondo Beer (talk) 13:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Per WP:CITEIMDB, we should not use IMDB as a ref. If you have other sources for an earlier date (other than IMDB), then go with them.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 13:17, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
