- Term began
- 1943-01-30
- Claimant
- Producers releasing corp.
- Class
- LP — published photoplay (numbering series begun Sept. 1928)
- Finding
- no renewal entry found for 1970-1972 in the CCE motion-picture renewal sections
- In the public domain since
- 1 January 1972 (end of the 28th year, no renewal)
A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and no matching renewal was found. A work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year.
A renewal had to be filed in the 28th year and would be listed in the 1970 or 1971 volume; volumes searched: 1970, 1971, 1972.
The renewal sections are OCR text of printed volumes; a damaged record can hide a renewal. Before relying on this, search the linked volumes yourself for the title and for number LP11817.
