The House on Telegraph Hill

The film 'The House on Telegraph Hill', directed by Robert Wise, was released in 1951 and was originally registered for US copyright by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. with registration number LP959 (dated May 11, 1951). Under the 1909 Copyright Act, works from this era required a renewal in their 28th year to maintain protection. A search of the Stanford Copyright Renewal Database and the US Copyright Office records confirms that the copyright was successfully renewed by Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp. on December 14, 1978, under renewal number RE0000010467. Because the copyright was properly renewed, the film is protected for a term of 95 years from the original publication date. It is currently scheduled to enter the public domain on January 1, 2047.
