Eye of the Spider

This film (originally 'L'occhio del ragno') is an Italian production directed by Roberto Bianchi Montero. Under the framework for foreign films released between 1964 and 1977, US copyright protection depends on either a valid US registration with proper notice at the time of publication or restoration via the URAA (1996). I found no evidence of a US copyright registration in the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) or the online Copyright Office database. While the film would have been eligible for URAA restoration if it were still protected in Italy on January 1, 1996, there is no public record of a 'Notice of Intent to Enforce' (NIE) being filed with the US Copyright Office, which is often required to maintain active enforcement against reliance parties. Because no primary evidence of a US registration exists and its current Italian status is unconfirmed in this context, the US status is technically uncertain. However, it is frequently treated as an orphan work in the US, appearing only on budget labels (like Mill Creek) or public domain repositories without intervention from a rightsholder. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
