Comment I know the article cited refers to the 1965 Jerry Lewis film (which has an article Boeing Boeing (1965 film)). Are you certain that this refers to a 1960 screen adaptation of the Camolleti play? That's what's in dispute, and I agree that there's nothing to confirm that there was a French film.

Delete unless someone can offer compelling evidence a film version of the play was made in 1960. If the article creator intended to start an article on the Jerry Lewis film (did anyone ask the creator about this?) then this can be filed as unintentional duplication. The link cited by Redmarkviolinist is for the 1965 film, which as noted already has an article. 23skidoo (talk) 22:56, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I cannot locate any evidence of a 1960 film. Ecoleetage (talk) 02:20, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per 23skidoo, but I'd also like to offer a suggestion; Move any info of the alleged screen adaptation of this into the article Boeing-Boeing (play) and hide it, until somebody finds evidence of such a screen adaptation. For now I'll assume that this alleged 1960 screen adaptation was a rare telecast. ----DanTD (talk) 06:39, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A Francophile friend is certain there was a performance of the play (possibly live) on French television before the 1965 film. DanTD's suggestion is a good one. 203.7.140.3 (talk) 00:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I was the creator of this article. At the time the information was added by someone into the Jerry Lewis film's article and someone suggested splitting the 2. I didn't think it had anything to do with the Lewis film, so I moved it here so that I could remove it from the Lewis article without anyone's objection. I heard that there was a TV adaption, but also could find no reference. I was still new to Wikipedia at the time, so I added this article without real research. After 2 years there has been no proof this exists...so let's get rid of it.! Donaldd23 (talk) 12:40, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
