All The King's Men

1949 · Columbia Pictures Corporation · Dir. Robert Rossen

A man of humble beginnings and honest intentions rises to power by nefarious means. Along for the wild ride are an earnest reporter, a heretofore classy society girl, and a too-clever-for-her-own-good political flack.

Why this status applies

All the King's Men, directed by Robert Rossen, was released in 1949 and is currently under copyright protection in the United States. The film was originally registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corporation on November 10, 1949, under registration number LP2653. Because the film was published between 1928 and 1963, it required a manual renewal during its 28th year to maintain protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. successfully renewed the copyright on August 10, 1977, under renewal number RE000000030. Under the 1976 Copyright Act and the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act, this renewal extended the term to 95 years from the original publication date. Consequently, the film will not enter the public domain until January 1, 2045.
