The Black Widow (1951 film)Black Widow (1951 film) – I've done a search of sources and I believe this article is mistitled. Sources consulted split as follows:

Steve Chibnall & Brian McFarlane: The British 'B' Film (2009) (referenced in article) Uses both names. [1]

The Black Widow (1951 film) (current title):

Monthly Film Bulletin (1951) (referenced in article)

IMDb (unreliable source, external link in article)

AllMovie (reliability unknown, external link in article)

BritMovie (reliability unknown, external link in article)

Peter Hutchings: The A to Z of Horror Cinema (2009) [2]

Robert Michael “Bobb” Cotter: The Women of Hammer Horror (2014) p.108 [3]

Alan Burton & Steve Chibnall: Historical Dictionary of British Cinema (2013) p.372 [4]

Black Widow (1951 film) (proposed title):

Film's opening titles (image shown in article)

BFI Collections Search (usually reliable, referenced in article)

Michael F. Keaney: British Film Noir Guide (2015) p.19 (extensive discussion) [5]

Michael Singer: Film Directors (2001) p.455 [6]

Andrew Spicer: Historical Dictionary of Film Noir (2009) p.441 [8]

Jay Robert Nash & Ralph Ross: The Motion Picture Guide (1985) p.116 [9]

I think the balance is towards omitting the definite article, and the clincher is the films' own opening titles. Masato.harada (talk) 15:28, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
