An Angel for Satan (Un angelo per Satana)

The film was produced in Italy in 1966 and released in the US under the title 'An Angel for Satan'. Under the Copyright Act of 1909 and the subsequent 1976 Act, foreign films published in the US required a valid copyright notice to secure protection. No record of a US copyright registration or a renewal for this film was found in the Stanford Renewal Database or the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries. While the URAA (1996) restored US copyright to many foreign films that had fallen into the public domain due to notice defects, restoration only applies if the film was still under copyright in its source country (Italy) on January 1, 1996. Italian copyright law generally protects films for 70 years after the death of the last surviving principal creator. Since director Camillo Mastrocinque died in 1967, but co-writers or other creators may have lived much longer, the film is likely still protected in Italy, suggesting a URAA restoration occurred. However, without a confirmed US registration or a clear chain of title for a US rights holder, the status remains technically uncertain.
