Movie title

Should this movie really be listed as 'Robert A. Heinlein's The Puppet Masters'? Wouldn't 'Puppet Masters, The' be shorter and simpler? After all, that's how the movie is listed on IMFDB. I understand about the potential for confusion with the Puppet Master franchise but this movie name is plural and it has 'The' added, PeeWee055 (talk) 11:55, 28 February 2014 (EST)
