Come Back, Little Sheba

The film 'Come Back, Little Sheba' was released by Paramount Pictures in 1952. Under the US Copyright Act of 1909, works from this era required a renewal filing in the 28th year of their first copyright term to remain protected for the full 95-year term. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries confirms that the copyright for this motion picture was successfully renewed. The original registration was filed under LP2172 on December 14, 1952, by Wallis-Hazen, Inc. The renewal registration, RE-50-327, was filed on December 8, 1980, by Paramount Pictures Corp. as the proprietor of copyright in a work made for hire. Because the copyright was timely renewed, the film is protected in the United States for a term of 95 years from its original publication/registration date. It is scheduled to enter the public domain on January 1, 2028.
