“”It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”

   

Credit goes to science fiction novelist Thomas Disch for the title, which comes from his book On Wings Of Song. It’s the name of a movie his characters go to see. I just wanted to see what a Warner pre-code version of 1984, which would have to be made at least fourteen years before the source book got written, would look like.
