IMDb (unreliable source, external link in article)
AllMovie (reliability unknown, external link in article)
BritMovie (reliability unknown, external link in article)

I think the balance is towards omitting the definite article, and the clincher is the films' own opening titles. Masato.harada (talk) 15:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support. I've not been able to find an image of the poster or lobby card, but the BFI record and opening title seem authoratitive enough. Tevildo (talk) 22:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
