Talk:Dunkirk (1958 film)

American/British English edit

I've changed such obvious Americanisms as 'made it' and 'movie' in accordance with the British English tag.

I've also changed "When Heron's motor seizes up" to "When Heron's engine malfunctions" because a) 'motor' in this context is (I think), American English for 'engine' and b) 'seizes up' is pretty terminal. I'm no mechanic, but if anything mechanical 'seizes up', I don't believe anyone can 'effect repairs'

Copyright status edit

I have deleted the link to the illicit hosting of this British film on Internet Archive. Author of adapted work Elleston Trevor did not die until 1995, so UK copyright subsists until the end of 2065. As a non-US film still under copyright in its country of origin on 1 January 1996, it is protected in the US for 95 years after publication, so to the end of 2053.
