Souls for Sale

The film 'Souls for Sale' was released on March 27, 1923, and was produced by Goldwyn Pictures. Under current United States copyright law, all works published before January 1, 1929, have entered the public domain regardless of renewal history or ownership. As a 1923 production, its maximum possible copyright term of 95 years expired on January 1, 1919. Therefore, the film is definitively in the public domain in the United States. Even if the film was never renewed (which was common for silent-era productions), the age of the work renders its renewal status moot.
