Conflicting information about the source on which the film "Breaker Morant" was based.

[edit]

Hello,

This article states that Bruce Beresford's 1980 film "Breaker Morant" was based on George Witton's book "Scapegoats of the Empire". However, the Wikipedia article Breaker Morant (film) states the the film was based on the play "Breaker Morant: A Play in Two Acts" by Kenneth G. Ross.

Thank you,

I edited the original post to clean up the links, as a separate change. I acknowledge that was a little atypical; feel free to revert that if you feel it's necessary.
Interesting. I was going to argue that the play article would state it's in turn based on the book, but I find no such claim in that article. Finding a source that claims the play is based on the book would probably be the easiest way to resolve this, and hopefully wouldn't prove too difficult.
Short of that, we may need to consider rewriting the sentence in this article to say that the film was about the same events, but avoiding any claim of direct basis. I'm not entirely comfortable with that, in part because I think the film probably was based on the book, directly if not indirectly via the play. DonIago (talk) 13:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Some interesting information from a Deakin University Library article:

"A line in the credits of the film stated that it had been based in part upon Scapegoats” "

Seems like you could use that as a citation then. DonIago (talk) 14:26, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
