Help!

[edit]

No, not the film! The article needs help! Not only are sources poorly cited in some parts (i.e. Superman) they don't even exist. The Superman section also needs major work. It's not like Richard Donner just showed up to find himself fired. Putting in false statements like "the producers didn't tell him he was fired" is not helpful or even relevant beyond the fact that Lester was ultimately hired. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.120.66.57 (talk) 04:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography

[edit]

Lester's the filmography should contain his early live television efforts, namely The Idiot Weekly, Price 2d., and its two follow-up shows, A Show Called Fred and Son of Fred. In these days of electronic video recording, a "filmography" doesn't have to literally be just anything on film media! Someone please fix this. -Al Roxburgh — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.148.94.222 (talk) 17:12, 21 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

[edit]

'In Soderbergh's book Getting Away With It, Lester reveals that he is a committed atheist and debates with Soderbergh (then an agnostic), largely based on the arguments of Richard Dawkins.' doesn't seem to be a sentence. 86.177.102.108 (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Dick" Lester

[edit]

I edited this page, adding "Dick" to his name. In interviews with The Beatles about the A Hard Day's Night movie and the Help! movie, John, Paul, George & Ringo and producer G. Martin mentions and says "Dick" when they talk about Richard Lester. So I added it. Why deleting it again? --NRKfan (talk) 01:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've always only heard him named as Dick Lester see https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0504513/ and http://www.bfi.org.uk/films-tv-people/4ce2b7fc273ed I'm a little hesitant in changing this as it seems to have been reverted before. WikiGhoul (talk) 15:37, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
