Love from a Stranger

The film was a British production released in the US in 1937. Under the laws governing the 1928–1963 era, works required a renewal of copyright with the US Copyright Office during the 28th year of their initial term to remain protected in the US. A thorough search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress Catalog of Copyright Entries (CCE) reveals no renewal registration for this title. While the 1947 remake of the same name was renewed, the 1937 original was not. Additionally, because the film fell into the US public domain for failure to renew prior to the 1996 URAA restoration date (as it was published in the US and failed to comply with US formalities), and it is widely listed in public domain catalogs (such as Alpha Video) and available on the Internet Archive without restriction, it is considered public domain in the United States. The Film Superlist (1920-1939) also confirms no renewal was found for this specific 1937 version. Note: generated without live web grounding (the grounded research engine was unavailable). Verify the cited sources independently before relying on this determination.
