Jailhouse Rock (film)

 * Nominator(s): Plant&#39;s Strider (talk) 22:14, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured article because I'm sure it meets all the criteria. Plant&#39;s Strider (talk) 22:14, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment - there appears to be a problem with reference #20: ^ Farmer 2000, p. 86. Harv error: link to #CITEREFFarmer2000 doesn't point to any citation. Graham Colm (talk) 22:40, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Fixed. Plant&#39;s Strider (talk) 23:31, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. Graham Colm (talk) 00:06, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Comment Probably it would be relevant to detail on the lead that Berman's decision to delegate the cast, as well as chosing Thorpe as the director was the result of his full dedication to the production of the The Brothers Karamazov.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   16:49, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure whether such detailed information is needed in the lead. It is discussed thoroughly in the relevant section. Plant&#39;s Strider (talk) 03:06, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

Comments:
 * "Dean Jones as Teddy Talbot, a disc jockey who plays Vince's debut record as a favor to Peggy. Jones was known for his participation in Disney movies" &mdash; This does not make sense to me.  If you're referring to Jones' career in general then I believe it would be appropriate to say "Jones is known for his participation in Disney movies"  rather than "Jones was ..."  If you're referring to Jones' career at the time he appeared in Jailhouse Rock the Disney reference is out of place as his first film for Disney was not until 1964.
 * I removed the sentence. Really redundant. Plant&#39;s Strider (talk) 01:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The sound sample: "Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock" from the 1957 film Jailhouse Rock". &mdash; This is not from the film (i.e. the film's actual soundtrack) but is Presley's studio recording of the title tune, so I think that should be clarified.  Also, since this article is about the film Jailhouse Rock telling the reader what film the song is from seems superfluous. Jimknut (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Although I have not exactly counted the number of characters, the plot section seems to have exceeded the suggested size per WP:Filmplot.--Dwaipayan (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
