[edit] 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)
[edit] 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.
