The Rodgers and Hammerstein Collection - should all films be in collection
posted by amlernerSTAFFMOD on January 14, 2013 at 1:08 PM
The Rodgers and Hammerstein Collection has several films in it, in addition to the base set. For example, there are 2 versions of State Fair included. Should all of these be in the collection?

Are these films sequels? By what criteria are these films grouped together other than sharing the same musical writing team?

I didn't put the original entry in, but these came as a boxed set.

I see. There exists a boxed set named The Rodgers & Hammerstein Collection, "[containing] film versions of the five major works by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II."
The word collection is ambiguous and causes some confusion but it has been defined for our use on TMDB, and its intention is to group together a set of sequels. None of these films are sequels as far as I can tell based on what I have read. This collection should not exist on TMDB.
