Dramatic cuts to the page

I have restored an older version prior to cutting nearly 2/3 of the page. Perhaps the page is a bit long, but this seems to go a bit too far. I would invite a bit more judicial trimming, but as this is clearly considered one of the finest films ever created I would expect some latitude (much as we have done for Casablanca). ~ UDScott (talk) 21:17, 28 July 2019 (UTC)

It is a fine film, and what matters here, a well-written film. But the presence of a pithy line or two in a scene does not make all the other lines in the scene as pithy. Discretion should be used and context can be explained in a few words rather than elaborated across the scene. With regard to Casablanca, I can think of only three lines in that film that are regularly quoted. How much leeway should be granted on that basis? 73.71.251.64 02:40, 10 August 2019 (UTC)
