Why this status applies
The film was released in October 1963, placing it in the final year of the 'dual-term' copyright era. Under the law applicable to 1963 releases, the work was required to be renewed with the U.S. Copyright Office during its 28th year of protection to avoid falling into the public domain. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the U.S. Copyright Office records confirms that a valid renewal was filed.
Specifically, the film was originally registered on October 1, 1963, under number LP26438 by Llenroc Productions. The copyright was subsequently renewed on December 3, 1991, under renewal number RE0000561574 by Llenroc Productions. Because the renewal was filed correctly within the 28-year window, the film is protected for a total of 95 years from its original publication date, meaning it will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2059.
