Bedazzled

Bedazzled (1967) is a British production directed by Stanley Donen and distributed by Twentieth Century-Fox. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909 (as amended), works published between 1964 and 1977 enjoy automatic renewal of their US copyright term for a total of 95 years from publication. Even though it is a foreign film, it was registered for US copyright by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on December 12, 1967 (Registration No. LP35445). Because the film was in its first 28-year term when the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992 was passed, renewal was secured automatically regardless of whether a renewal filing was made. Furthermore, the film remains under active commercial exploitation by Disney (via its acquisition of 20th Century Fox), appearing on major streaming platforms and having received a high-definition Blu-ray release from Twilight Time and later specialized distributors. There is no evidence of defective notice that would have injected it into the public domain during its initial US release.
