Man on a String

Man on a String (1960), directed by André De Toth, is a US production released by Columbia Pictures and is currently under copyright protection. Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works published between 1928 and 1963 required a renewal filing in the 28th year to extend protection to the full 95-year term. Research indicates that the film was registered for copyright by Columbia Pictures Corp. on March 25, 1960 (LP16405). A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that the copyright was successfully renewed by Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc. on December 21, 1988 (RE0000412854). Because the renewal was filed within the statutory window, the film is protected for 95 years from its original publication date, meaning it will not enter the public domain in the United States until January 1, 2056.
