Need to change English translation of title


I know The Naked Night was the title under which the film was originally imported into the US, but it seems stupid to use on IMDb now, as it was only used to eroticize the film, and it really doesn't do it justice. Since Criterion (as an American company) used Sawdust and Tinsel in their recent release of it, I say we should use that, though I think the Swedish translates to "The Night of the Clowns" or something to that effect.

In any case, I have no idea how to change it, so if anyone does, I think it would help a lot, as most people will likely be looking for it as Sawdust and Tinsel, as that will almost ubiquitously be the title people will see it under.

Anyway, it's a wonderful film, and I don't believe it deserves the sort of title that added to its flopping commercially.
