Entry: 'A Midsummer Night's Sexy Comedy' - Woody Allen film (1982) - A87835693
Author: Renachos_42 - U15000576

I wish to give my contribution to h2g2 and i hope you will like my entry so that it can become an edit one.

Hello – good to see it didn't take you long to get an entry into Peer Review! This isn't a film I've seen, I'm afraid.

Can I ask when the film was made? Was it at some point between 1980-1992, when Woody and Mia were together? If so, perhaps you could change the sentence 'The film was adapted by the 1955 swedish comedy Smiles of a Summer Night' to 'The film was a remake of the 1955 Swedish comedy Smiles of a Summer Night' as 'adapted by' implies that this film inspired the 1955 one, which seems unlikely.

I was also a bit confused with one sentence you wrote – ' The house owners invited also the women lover doctor Maxwell, Adrew's best friend, that comes with his latest flame, the nurce Dulcy.' Do you mean that Maxwell has previously been the lover of both other two women mentioned, Adrian and Ariel?

Don't feel that a request for clarifying a couple of sentences means I did not enjoy reading about a film I'm not familiar with – I look forward to reading more!

This is good!

A few little spelling issues - you spell some of the names a few different ways. As far as I can tell, the spellings in the cast list are correct, so if any of them are spelled differently in other parts of the Entry, the sub-editor can correct them.

The correct title of the film is:

A Midsummer Night's Sex Comedy

Gnomon, thank you for making me notice that I made a mistake in writing the title (I am embarrassed about this) and the names. Are you referring to Adrian (I wrote aNdrian) and Andrew (I wrte Adrew), aren't you?

Bluebottle, the film was made in 1982, in fact I wrote the date in the brackets in the title ("Woody Allen film (1982)"). So it was when Mia and Woody had a relationship. Anyway, I think "is inspired" is better than "was adapted". In the matter of the sentence with Maxwell, I meant that Maxwell led a libertine life, so "women lover" meant "lover of all the women in general". But if it cuases confusion, I can change it with "invited the womanizer doctor Maxwell".

Now, just one question: can I change the entry to made these little modifications? I read that when an entry is in Peer Review, it is better if I don't change it. But I really need to made this changes.
There will be consequences if i change it? There will be less chances for my entry to become an edit entry?

Yes, you can, and should, edit the entry to make these little modifications, and there won’t be any consequences to you pressing the 'Edit' button other than the changes you have made. I'd recommend that when you make any changes, you mention what you have done here so everyone is kept informed. It is normal that when an article is in Peer Review, people make suggestions. Feel free to consider the suggestions and, if you disagree with them, just say why.

Ok, so i just write in this conversation what i've changed in a normal comment like this, and everything is ok?

You could edit the entry, make the changes, then post here a message to say that you've made them. Or you could decide not to make a suggested change, and post a message here to say you've decided not to because...

Sometimes people suggest things in Peer Review that really are not appropriate. It's your decision what you decide to include. I'd treat any recommendation from Bluebottle seriously, though, since he is a Guide Editor.

Ok,I've made just some little modifications:
-I've corrected the oversight in the title ("sexy" -> "sex")
-I've corrected the name of Adrian and Andrew just in one point (in which I wrote wrongly "Andrian" and "Adrew", while in the other points the names were written correctly).
-I've changed the expression "women lover" to "womanizer" to avoid confusion.

I forgot to write the last modification in the previous comment:
- In the first curiosity, where I wrote "adapted" i've changed the expression with "ispired" and "has been a source of inspiration"

Sorry, it was "inspired", not "ispired".

I like this Entry too! (although I have to admit, I preferred your original title A Midsummer Night's Sexy Comedy - sounds cuter! )

Thanks for making the changes that have been suggested so far

When I read through, I was confused by "Andrew and Adrian are married, but they are in crisis because of some problem to bed" - is it a problem "in bed", or something else? (I've not seen the film myself)

I'm beginning to worry that Renachos_42 has ed.

Are you still here? If so, let us know the answer to Sasha's question.

Moved to Flea Market as author appears to have ed.

I meant that they had some problems in their sexual loves, do I need to change it in "in bed"?

What is "Flea Market"?
I'm sorry, I wasn't able to use my computer, so I couldn't open h2g2, this is why I didn't answer earlier. But now I'm here again!

Welcome back Renachos_42

Thanks for answering my question - I think that is a better way of putting it rather than 'to' or 'in' bed...

says Sasha, who prefers a euphemism, but they're not always clear...

As you hadn't posted for 2 months we had mistakenly assumed that you might not be coming back to h2g2, but we are delighted to see that you are back, and your entry is back in Peer Review over here:
