Atomic War Bride (Ratni doručak / Veljko Bulajić)

The film 'Atomic War Bride' (originally 'Ratni doručak' or 'War' directed by Veljko Bulajić) is a 1960 Yugoslavian production. For foreign films of this era, US copyright status is complex. It was not registered for copyright in the US at the time of its release or subsequent distribution. Under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA), foreign works that were in the public domain in the US due to non-compliance with US formalities (like lack of notice or registration) could have their copyrights restored if they were still protected in their source country on January 1, 1996. While Croatia (the successor state for Jadran Film) is a Berne member, I found no evidence of a 'Notice of Intent to Enforce' (NIE) filed with the US Copyright Office, which is often used to signal restoration. Furthermore, the film has been distributed for decades by public domain labels such as Alpha Video and Sinister Cinema without legal challenge, and it appears in various public domain film lists. However, because URAA restoration is automatic and does not strictly require an NIE to be enforceable between private parties, and the copyright status in the former Yugoslavia in 1996 is difficult to verify without specialized legal records, the status remains 'uncertain'. It is highly likely an orphan work as there is no active US rightsholder or licensed digital/theatrical presence.
