We always write the names of plays, movies, and television shows in italics if we are typing. Look at these examples:
Plays:
King Lear by William Shakespeare
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
Movies:
Forest Gump
Field of Dreams
Television Shows:
The Brady Bunch
Wheel of Fortune
Always use italics when typing the titles of plays, movies, and television shows. If you are writing something out by hand, underline the titles of plays, movies, and television shows.
