Salome

The film 'Salome', starring Alla Nazimova and directed by Margaret Booth / Charles Bryant, was premiered in late 1922 and went into wide release in 1923. Because the film was first published prior to January 1, 1928, it followed the bright-line rule of the 1909 Copyright Act as amended by the 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act. Under current U.S. copyright law, all works published in the United States before 1928 have entered the public domain regardless of whether they were originally registered or renewed. The 95-year copyright term for works of this era expired on or before January 1, 2023. As of the current date, this film is definitively in the public domain in the United States and is widely available for free download and reuse from sources like the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress.
