Recommandations ; Lisez bien le sujet : film produit à Hollywood et avant 1960.
Ce sujet est choisi de façon a vous engager à lire un ou des ouvrages d’histoire du cinéma. La meilleure façon de procéder est donc de trouver d’abord un livre de référence sur un réalisateur (Frank Capra, Cecil B. De Mille etc.) ou sur un genre ( la comédie, le western, le film black ...) and then choose the movie. This way you'll have some of the elements necessary for your work. Also I do not ask you how she looks on film, I ask you to identify the fact that criticism has produced an aesthetic appreciation of him, which is different. You also avoid the testimonials rave about the acting ...

You can use data from the Internet by giving a precise reference for each citation. When the text is fully incorporated it in quotes and its provenance is given in footnotes. It is necessarily brief and a citation. A long text copied from Internet without indication of source is considered plagiarism.
also sticking hazardous chunks of text copied inconsistent on different sources and not responding to the question asked, even made in good faith, never give good results. Good luck
