:Yes, you're right in saying that there are pros and cons for the movie. I'm not saying the movie itself was a "great success" but I am saying it was "one of ''her'' (Colbert's) greatest successes". I think that is fair - for Colbert personally it was a success, she won a lot of recognition, plus her only Academy Award, for it. Also, the film was made 73 years ago and is still one of the films she is most remembered by. ] 06:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

"worst picture in the world", was the one being written with ''Colbert initially balked at pulling up her skirt to entice a passing driver to give a ride, complaining that it was unladylike.

:no, these comments are more related to Colbert, than they are to either Warner or Loy. Just because the comments were made by Warner and Loy doesn't mean they are important to them. Why ''on earth'' would they be put into the Warner or Loy articles? They directly affected Colbert. Your edits confuse me. For one thing you '''changed''' Loy's comment before you put it in the trivia section. What is this nonsense about films on a bus? That is '''not''' what Loy said. That was a sourced quote and you replaced it with something unsourced. You can't do that. You also kept the references to the other 3 actresses but removed Loy? Why? Where is the logic? ] 13:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


I am confused as to how the fact that she drove a Lincoln Continental and a Ford Thunderbird, could be relevant in an article about a person in the acting arts.

Large sections of the article which contained very apposite information about Colbert have been perfunctorily moved to a Trivia section. '''THEY DO NOT BELONG THERE'''.

"Georges Claude Chauchoin (1867-1925), a banker" in English Wiki,(TIME refers to him as "a minor bank functionary"); in French Wiki, he is referred to as a "''patissier''" (a pastry maker). Not very important, but it would be good to get it right. Any clarifications?] 13:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
