How do you correct an incorrect IMDb program TITLE?

IMDb has a listing for a 1959 NBC "TV Movie" under the title "The Ten Commandments." But the program, written by Ben Hecht and produced by my father, was never called "The Ten Commandments." The title of the program was "The Third Commandment."

I couldn't find any way to submit a correction to the TITLE of the program, so I submitted a correction to IMDb under "Alternate Titles" (Submission #260502-202123-202000). However, I explained in my submission, with citations to ample documentation, that the ONLY title the show ever had was "The Third Commandment".  My title correction was APPROVED by IMDB on May 2. But IMDb did NOT correct the title. All it did was to add "The Third Commandment" under "Also known as". 

How can I get IMDb to list the program under the correct title?

@Michelle​ Well, Michelle, I did indeed. I submitted a title correction - #260508-152452-501000 - explaining at great length and with documentation that the program has always been titled “The Third Commandment” and has NEVER been referred to as “The Ten Commandments” (except, once, erroneously, by a  newspaper column that appeared the year before the telecast, which confused the upcoming program with the proposed series based on the program).

I was happy to see that my submission was approved! But instead of changing the title, IMDb left it as “The Ten Commandments”! They simply added a note beneath it: “Original title: The Third Commandment”.  That would indicate that the original title changed at some point. But there is no evidence whatsoever to support that . Can you help?

Hi @Gregg_O​ -

I can confirm that your title correction was approved and the title is now listed on the site under the correct title: The Third Commandment.

Cheers!
