The fiance of his maid edit
I'm reasonably educated (two college degrees), but I have a hard time understanding the sentence in the article that ends:
- "...then sells short, making a fortune and ruining the fiance of his maid."
Is that supposed to be "...then sells short, making a fortune and ruining the finances of his maid."? — Frεcklεfσσt | Talk 14:29, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Book? edit
There was a 1941 Looney Tunes episode called A coy decoy where Daffy is chased around a book-store by a wolf. Like in Book Revue (another, later episode) the characters are originally book characters that come to life at night. The wolf in this episode comes from a book called The Wolf of Wall-Street, which is obviously not the 2007 book the 2013 DeCaprio movie is based on. So I'm wondering if there was an older book with this title as well?--87.255.89.160 (talk) 22:18, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- I found a book by that title, by Blake McVeigh, published in 1929, the same year as the film: https://www.abebooks.com/first-edition/Wolf-Wall-Street-McVeigh-Blake-Anderson/19207405562/bd. Largoplazo (talk) 02:36, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
- From https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1929-wolf-wall-street-blake-mcveigh-237318638, there was a photoplay edition, a terms previously unknown to me. I don't know whether that's in addition to an earlier book that the movie was based, or whether it is the book. Largoplazo (talk) 02:39, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
