Riot in Cell Block 11

"Motín en el pabellón 11" is the Spanish title for the 1954 American film noir "Riot in Cell Block 11," directed by Don Siegel and produced by Walter Wanger for Allied Artists (the successor to Monogram Pictures). As a US production released between 1928 and 1963, the film required a manual copyright renewal with the US Copyright Office during its 28th year to maintain protection. The film was originally registered for copyright on February 12, 1954 (LP3269). A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the Library of Congress records confirms that the copyright was successfully renewed by Allied Artists Pictures Corp. on July 13, 1981 (RE-98-319). This renewal extended the protection for a second term of 67 years, meaning the film's US copyright will not expire until 95 years after its publication date, specifically on January 1, 2050. The film is currently managed by Warner Bros. (via their acquisition of the Lorimar/Allied Artists library) and has seen recent high-quality releases from The Criterion Collection, further confirming its active protected status and the existence of a clear chain of title.
