Lolita: Film noir? Yes 0r no, I say NO

Re: the film: But she's not a femme fatale in the classical sense who uses sex to get money, power, jewelery, drinks hard, is involved in crime, and such. The girl in Lolita likes sex and boys. She leaves Humbert because she wants more experiences and not be oppressed by an overbearing (co-dependent) new lover, and dare I say quite an older man. She's no femme falate. Femme fatales are in a sense sociopathic, that is, they really don't have hold to any any values other than advancing their own self-interests. Lolita truly seems in love at the end of the film and is happy to be pregnant. She wants to settle down and raise a family. Lo is no femme fatale. So the film from this aspect in not a neo-noir. Do you have any critical reception references that mention the film is a neo-noir. As such, I will revert, in due course. Luigibob (talk) 14:05, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't believe you tried to add these films, again. My, my, my....Luigibob (talk) 05:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Public Domain - Spellbound

Hi, I've removed the claim that Hitchcock's Spellbound is PD, as the US rights are currently held by Disney/Buena Vista (via their acquisition of ABCs back catalogue, which included all of the Selznick/Hitchcock titles). As evidence, you can see the relevant copyright information on the packaging shots for the Criterion release on this page. Unfortunately, the information on the DVD Breakdown site is incorrect.

Ooops!! What's vary of DVD packages here[1]!

public domain films - urgent

Can you furnish a responsible source for your edit saying the film The Man with the Golden Arm is in public domain? Did its author discuss the doctrine whereby the unrenewed film of Pygmalion protected it against distribution by others than the holders of the intact copyright on the play? Please respond ASAP, as i am concerned such unref'd assertions can harm WP, in light of the possibility of giving the appearance that WP's copyvio problems are part of a pattern of trying to undercut valid copyrights.
