Claudette Colbert on stage, screen, radio and television

(

)

Film poster for It Happened One Night (1934)

... that in spite of its co-star Claudette Colbert believing that It Happened One Night (lobby poster pictured) was " .. the worst picture in the world,” it won all five major categories at the 1935 Academy Awards?

5x expanded by Maile66 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:48, 16 November 2020 (UTC).

Newness requirement satisfied with 5x expansion in narrative text. Earwig detected no copyvio/plagiarism issues, and the article is well written and appropriately sourced. The hook is interesting, supported by in-line citation to the CineMontage piece, and comes in at 186 characters (excluding the parenthetical). Image has PD license. QPQ satisfied.

My only reservation is the decision to bold link the Oscar wins rather than Claudette Colbert, given that the latter is more closely related to the article's title and subject. If the nom feels strongly, I'll pass over this issue, but raising it to see what the nom has to say.Cbl62 (talk) 10:03, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Cbl62 the previous ones I bolded the linked actor's name, but Yoninah pointed out that was not the correct way to do it. So, I did it Yoninah's way on this one. Yoniah can more clearly explain the reasoning behind that than I can. — Maile (talk) 11:40, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

@Cbl62: linking to the name would give the impression that the article is about her, which it is not. But the current bolded link does not relate to the Claudette Colbert filmography article either; it appears to link to the film. Yoninah (talk) 12:45, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Yoninah please link it correctly for us. — Maile (talk) 13:12, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that Claudette Colbert, who won her only Academy Award for Best Actress for It Happened One Night (film poster pictured), privately called the film "the worst picture in the world"? Yoninah (talk) 14:46, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

I am fine with ALT1. I mis-read it the first time. Sorry. — Maile (talk) 15:18, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Green tick for alt 1. Cbl62 (talk) 16:17, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
