Did you know... that despite being a boxing-themed short film, the Duke of Chicago was criticized for being "slow-paced and seemingly a lot longer than its fifty-nine minutes"?

Why [sic]?

The article quotes a movie review as follows: "'slow-paced and seemingly a lot longer than its [sic] fifty-nine minutes.'" Why the "[sic]"? The quotation correctly uses "its" (possessive pronoun) instead of "it's" (contraction of "it is") and otherwise appears to be grammatically correct? -- Bob (Bob99 (talk) 15:34, 25 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Not a short film

Before I removed it, this was described in the intro as "a 61-minute short film", which is both a contradiction in terms and inaccurate regarding this film. It is unambiguously a feature film. Features of an hour (or even a little shorter) were not at all uncommon in Ye Olde Hollywood. By no reasonable or accepted definition is a 61-minute film a short as opposed to a feature.
