All the Colors of the Dark (Tutti i colori del buio)

This 1972 giallo film, directed by Sergio Martino, is a foreign co-production between Italy and Spain. For works published between 1964 and 1977, US copyright protection generally requires a valid copyright notice on the US release prints at the time of publication, or a timely registration. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Copyright Office online records (covering 1978 onward) shows no evidence of an original US registration or a renewal for this specific title under its English or Italian names. Because the film was produced in Berne Convention countries (Italy/Spain), it may have been subject to copyright restoration under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) in 1996 if it was still under copyright in its countries of origin at that time. However, many films of this genre and era were distributed in the US by independent companies (such as Peppercorn-Wormser) without proper US copyright notices, which traditionally placed them in the public domain in the US prior to 1996. While modern distributors like Severin Films and Shout! Factory actively license the film today, suggesting a chain of title exists, there is no primary record of a US copyright registration or a URAA restoration notice (GATT filing) to definitively confirm its US status. Therefore, the status is categorized as uncertain.
