Official English title found

I have found a poster for this one ...

http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

If nobody complains, telling the reason why "Selling, Pawning and Borrowing" should
remain at least an alias (maybe printed on some flyer), I would change the
main entry to "To Sell, To Pawn And To Borrow".

I assume, "Selling, Pawning and Borrowing" was just a translation,
preliminary, to be able to do that entry at all. With now a poster showing an
official English title, a translated title becomes redundant, in my opinion ...

As I commented, the "Selling, Pawning and Borrowing" was
most probably and obviously a preliminary literal translation.

But we have the chance to ask the editor,
I think, it was Heinz.

If this was just literal, this should be deleted.

Or is there any rule about entries being just literal translations,
if confirmed, become an alias? Or former entries in general
become aliases?

Please let me know ...

"Selling, Pawning and Borrowing" appears on other Chinese sites, but I don't know if it's because they copied us or because it actually the film had that second title. When in doubt, I prefer to leave it on.

Hello, I can't remember that one, it might be some 15 years old entry. Don't You think it was me, just because I thanked You for the upload. I am a kind person who, from time to time, like to thank somebody to encourage him to continue.

O.K., interesting case.

Then let's leave it.
