Talk:Three-Ten to Yuma

Untitled

All right, I'm no wikigenius, but something here doesn't seem right. Before today, a wikisearch for "3:10 to Yuma" brought us to the original film. Now, we're getting the short story article, which didn't exist a week ago. If it's only getting an article because of the film I'm not sure which one deserves to get the first notice. I don't know - maybe a page with links to all three would work best, especially with the remake which may prove more significant than the original. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.236.4.247 (talk • contribs) 22:18, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Three Ten to Yuma and Other Stories.jpg

Image:Three Ten to Yuma and Other Stories.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Synopsis

It seems to me, in my experience with Wikipedia, that a synopsis should not contain information about the movies. That should be addressed elsewhere. Of course, the article needs to be expanded before that could be accomplished anyway. But a suggestion nonetheless. Justi521 (talk) 00:51, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

requires expansion?

The description of the short story as the "kernel" on which the two movies are built is correct. There's little in the story that's not covered in what appears to be an overly brief synopsis. Elmore Leonard complained that Hollywood screwed up a simple story, but there wasn't much to the story in the first place -- both movie versions are considerably more complex and interesting.

Three-Ten to Yuma was one of Leonard's first published stories. In an interview on the Blu-ray Disk, he says he received a five-page single-spaced letter from the story's editor, warning him not to give up his day job (which he'd been thinking of doing). The editor's principal complaint was that Leonard failed to supply the visual and auditory details that would bring the story alive for the reader.

Yeah, it's mentioned that most names in the story differ from the movies, but most of the main characters in the two movies seem to be fairly consistently named between the two versions. 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 03:33, 16 March 2019 (UTC)
