Demisemicenturian 
"Four ever European"

Mine was "Baked Under Capricorn" for Naked Under Capricorn. This obviously is title play, but it does describe the film (or in fact, I think, miniseries) as it is (partially, but significantly) about a white man living out under the scorching Australian sun with some Aborigines. I explained this with my submision.

Here's my latest: "Hopefully also last 'Sunday'" for the very poor First Sunday. This is not title play only. It is not a great review, and does not describe the plot, but I am commenting on the film's quality. If that (while pinning it down to the exact film by alluding to the title) is not a valid review that's one thing (although there are many parallel cases), but that does not mean that it should be rejected using this reason.

I've just had another "title play only" rejection.

This is for the classic "Ladies' Skirts Nailed To A Fence" of 1900. O know, it's way up there in all our Top Ten Film lists.

My review was "The out-skirts of town".

As I said before, surely the test must be if the title were different would the review still be relevant, and here there would still be skirts outdoors, so it just cannot be a title play only.
