Kiss Me Quick!

Under the US Copyright Act of 1909 (as amended), works published between 1964 and 1977 are granted automatic renewal of copyright. However, for a US production of this era to be protected, it must have been published with a valid copyright notice on the release prints and/or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office within five years of publication (17 U.S.C. § 405). 'Kiss Me Quick!' (1964), a notable nudie-cutie film directed by Peter Perry and produced by Fantasy Films, lacks any record of a contemporary copyright registration in the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) or the post-1978 online database. Furthermore, the film has been widely circulated for decades by public domain distributors such as Something Weird Video and Alpha Video, and it is frequently cited in public domain lists for the genre. Because it was distributed commercially in the US without a copyright notice or timely registration, it entered the public domain upon publication due to non-compliance with statutory formalities.
