Darling, Do You Love Me?

This 1968 short film, directed by Martin Sharp and starring Germaine Greer, is a British production. Under the 1964–1977 era rule, foreign films distributed in the US required a valid US copyright notice on the release prints to secure protection. There is no record of a US copyright registration for this film in the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) or the post-1978 online database. While many foreign works saw their copyrights restored via the URAA in 1996, restoration only applies if the work was still under copyright in its source country on January 1, 1996. In the UK, films of this nature from 1968 were generally protected for 50 years from release, meaning it may have entered the public domain in the UK in 2018; however, its status at the 1996 URAA 'snap-shot' date is the determining factor for US restoration. Because no primary evidence of a US registration or US release with notice exists, and because it is a short independent film with no clear chain of title or active commercial exploitation (often a sign of a failure to comply with US formalities or lack of URAA eligibility), its status is uncertain. It cannot be definitively called public domain without proof of a US release lacking notice, but it cannot be called protected without a registration or evidence of restoration. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
