All Fall Down

1962 · Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer · Dir. John Frankenheimer

Ralph and Annabell Willart are a feuding couple who are constantly bickering over their worthless, good-for-nothing son Berry-Berry. When Berry-Berry begins yet another meaningless love affair, this time with an older woman named Echo O’Brien, he really gets his parents at each others’ throats.

Why this status applies

This film was released in 1962 and was originally registered for copyright by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. (MGM) under LP21676. Under the law governing works from the 1928–1963 era, the copyright had to be renewed during the 28th year to prevent the work from entering the public domain. Research indicates a valid renewal was filed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Inc. on December 1, 1989, under registration number RE0000455071. This renewal successfully extended the copyright for a second term, which under subsequent legislation (such as the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act) was lengthened to a total of 95 years from the date of original publication. The film is currently under the ownership of Warner Bros. (which acquired the pre-1986 MGM library). It remains commercially active, with distribution on digital platforms and physical media, and no evidence exists to suggest any defect in notice or renewal that would have caused it to enter the public domain prematurely. Its copyright is expected to expire on January 1, 2058. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
