Why this status applies

This film, originally titled 'El derecho de gozar' (Argentina, 1968) and directed by Armando Bó, was released in the US as 'Love After Death' by International Amusement Corp. in 1968. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, foreign films required a valid US copyright notice or registration to secure US protection. A search of the Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) and the Stanford Renewal Database yields no registration or renewal records under either its English or Spanish titles. Because the film was produced in Argentina, it would typically be eligible for US copyright restoration under the URAA (17 U.S.C. § 104A) if it was still protected in Argentina on January 1, 1996. While Argentine law generally protects films for 50 years after the death of the last collaborator (Bo died in 1981), the lack of a verifiable US registration at the time of publication and the absence of any entity asserting rights or filing a Notice of Intent to Enforce (NIE) with the US Copyright Office creates significant uncertainty. As there is no evidence of active commercial exploitation or a clear rightsholder in the US, the status remains uncertain.
