It does not seem like this meets any of the criteria for WP:NFILM King Jakob  C2 13:53, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - I looked and couldn't find anything to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NFILM. Of course, it is likely that any contemporary reviews or commentary from 1951 are not on the web. Unless anyone can find such references in an archive, it should be removed. CooperDB (talk) 15:01, 16 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - While I still can't find any suitable references, it is clear from IMDB that the movie was indeed released in multiple, international markets leading me to believe that such references probably exist, but are unavailable in offline archives. This, and the arguments presented below have changed my opinion that this subject is indeed notable and should be kept to allow further work on expanding the article, and hopefully, the discovery and inclusion of said references.

 * Comment: This brand new stub article was sent to deletion 25 minutes after being written by a inexperienced new editor. Sadly, rather than being welcomed to the project, his first communication ever from any other editor was a deletion notice. So I just posted a welcome message on his talk page. Would this newcomer want to stay and grow and learn?  With very little work the article has been expanded to offer our readers some context and content... and I learned it has international release under different titles (see below). As this film had wide release over a few years period, was distributed by notable companies, involved many notables on that period, I have a difficult time believing that "NO" sources exist. My sense here is more toward WP:NTEMP than WP:INHERITED... and to otherwise protect our cinematic history, I am now looking for sources.  Schmidt,  Michael Q. 21:22, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep MichaelQSchmidt has admirably shown that this film received widespread international distribution, and most of the sources for reviews etc are unlikely to be found on the internet given its date. The guidelines at WP:NFILM were clearly not intended to block films such as this and a comparable film today would automatically be notable. Whether it is remembered today is irrelevant - a purpose of WP is to provide a resource for precisely those films which have now been forgotten but were watched in their day. --AJHingston (talk) 11:46, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
