I went to a site that I've lost the link for.

It had tons of public-domain things. Lots of films from little
B-movie production houses like PRC. Prints were sometimes a bit
shaky but they weren't available anywhere else.

Also some commercial promos including a 1950 one from Coca-Cola.

Can anyone point me to that site.

Bill
