I own a film; A Shot in the Dark (1933) UPC 0825646070527; in which the overview on the back cover relates to the 1935 film of the same name starring Edward Van Sloan. I entered it exactly as prescribed by the rules, so anyone looking at it may well get confused. 
Yep; there are a few like that (the Fu Manchu double bill I have has the overviews for the two films the wrong way around on the cover for example) but I agree with the Rule to match the cover exactly otherwise there would be too many times people would disagree on the 'correct' version and any rule that avoids flip-flopping and cannot be misinterpreted is a good starting place IMO!
I am not saying that I disagree with the rule; only that there can be discrepancies (which still have to be followed per the rules).
Bill Looking at this films' front cover, I also note that all the Cast & Crew mentioned on it ARE from the 1935 film and not this film... therefore the entire cover is wrong... but hey, there you go. I still abided by the rules. | | | In the end; Winning is the only safety.

Everybody here knows what is the present rule. Just this rule needs to be changed Not a statement of FACT, simply your opinionm. I too think the Rule is precisely as it should be and would not support any change to it such as you wish | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

I don't believe it needs to be changed. If, however, you feel it should be changed, then propose a new rule in the rules forum and see if it gets much support. He has tried that numerous times, my Martian friend and has been shot down in flames every time, so all he has left is whining and imperiously stating his opinion as FACT. The only FACT in his statement is that it is merely his opinion, it is not even factual that everyone knows the rule. | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Before the rule was clarified to be that it's what's on the case period, we had a lot of submissions adding or subtracting commas. Then we have endless grammatical arguments in the forums. Accepting the Overview as is isn't perfect, but at least it avoids a lot of that stuff. Objection! It's perfect, the best possible starting point.

The fact that overview text has filtering functions proves that Ken did not wanted, at the beginning, just to reproduce the cover, thing that is perfectly done by the scan. If the overview does not represent the movie, its filtering function becomes totally useless. Filtering the Overview makes it possible to find the particular DVD where Willis was accidently named Wallis. Do that with a cover scan. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

Do that with a cover scan. My point exactly. Filtering on the Overview comes in very handy indeed  . | | | | My WebGenDVD online Collection |
