Classic Film Museum, Inc.

Based in Maine, Classic Film Museum, Inc. was a corporation that licensed and rented films for theatrical and televised viewing. In 1975, Summa Corporation filed a court claim asserting copyright infringement through unlawfully distributing and exhibiting Hell's Angels (1930), Scarface (1932), and The Outlaw (1943). The case settled in 1976 with Classic Film Museum agreeing to cease distributing the three films.
