Comments

The Wikipedia standard, as far as I can tell, follows the one used by the imdb, which uses the date of first release. Copyright notices on works follow the copyright laws, which (in the US, anyway) use the date of first publication. Numerous films are assembled in more or less "final" form late in the year but not publicly screened until the following year. Ellsworth 21:33, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

In the commentary for the Region 1 DVD, Gavras mentioned that the real-life analogue of the Examining Magistrate went on to be President of Greece. Does anyone know if the person Gavras was talking about is Christos Sartzetakis? If so, that would be a good starting point for his article. Ellsworth 17:31, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The Trigtignant character is an analogue of Sartzetakis, who now has his own article here, courtesy of the good folks at the Dutch-language wikipedia and a helpful translator. Ellsworth 23:30, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Just watched the movie. It's available in libraries that stock documentary media in the form of DVDs. I didn't have to pay for it. Mdoc7 (talk) 04:02, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The pronunciation of the title

Why should it be pronounced [zi:] and not [zed]?151.70.3.52 (talk) 23:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is not simply a letter of the alphabet, but also a reference to a rallying cry of the time, which meant in Greek, "he lives!".

10th?

It says "It was also the 10th highest grossing film of 1969 in the United States.", but links to a page "1969 in film" with a list of "Top grossing films (U.S.)", for which "Z" is #12. Which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.185.161.246 (talk) 03:22, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
