The link is to an interesting blog that finds public domain movies.
There are hundreds of movies that did not have their copyright renewed and went into public domain before the current Mickey Mouse copyright act went into effect.
Most of these are “B” movies or were filmed at studios that went out of business or were bought up by the big guys and then forgotten. Some of the movies look very good.
I have started downloading some of these.
Here are a couple of examples:
My Love For Yours (1939)
Bill Burnett, a resident of Bali, visits New York City, meets and falls in love with Gail Allen, the successful manager of a Fifth Avenue shop, who is determined to remain free and independent.
AKA: “Honeymoon in Bali”
The Limping Man (1953)
Riveting suspenser stars Lloyd Bridges as a former American G.I. who crosses the sea to find his wartime girlfriend, whom he hasn’t seen in six years. Arriving in London, the reunion is complicated when Bridges learns that his paramour is caught up in a web of deception, murder and blackmail. Can he clear her name before they both become the target of a sniper?
