Entry: The Amicus Edgar Rice Burroughs Film Trilogy - A87941361
Author: Bluebottle - U43530

Oft-overlooked films by a forgotten film studio.

<BB<

Good to see this in Peer Review

"Amicus doesn't quite fit into the picture of a plucky British underdog, despite the studio's very existence being owed to more pluck than found at a harpist convention." - a sentence that is almost superb The paragraph explains the pluck, but why isn't it a British underdog?

I like the Sugar Puffs footnote

What is the A Certificate? The certificate that is now PG?

Nargas and Narghas are mentioned in The People that Time Forgot - is one a typo? "incredibly painful"

The two references to the collapse of Amicus could be collapsed into one paragraph

Strong use of quotes, and superb concluding paragraph

Helpful comments there, thanks Sasha – I've tweaked this accordingly.

A very thorough summary. Good Entry. The only thing I don't like is having the plot of the films in a table, but others may disagree.

... I am now reading your Entry about 'The Land that Time Forgot' and therefore I would suggest deleting your list of dinosaurs from this one. It's just too much for this overview.

Neat tweaks - thank you

That is interesting about the A - reminiscent of how 12A now is that children under 12 can be admitted as long as the parents or guardians judge it to be suitable for their children

Re plots in tables, it is not too bad if the plot is one paragraph, like in the Disney Entries, but I do find it is more difficult to read several paragraphs in that format - the line length is halved, so people's eyes have to do twice as much work...

It would look neat if the plots were in paragraphs above the tables, mirroring the paragraphs below the tables

Looking at both Entries again I would take out the quote about Doug McClure in this one as you used the exact same quote in the other Entry and it fits better there. In general maybe try to weed out some more such overlaps and try to keep this Entry as short as possible and leave details to the other. There seem to be quite a few facts about filming the first movie which are in both Entries. Maybe check again what is relevant where.

I've tweaked both entries now to remove a lot of the duplication, however there remains overlap between the two entries as they do cover some of the same ground and there's no guarantee that anyone outside PR would necessarily read both. The dinosaur tables have also been removed.

Of course some of the duplication is necessary.
