Un miracle sous l'inquisition

The film 'Un miracle sous l'inquisition' (also known by the English title 'A Miracle under the Inquisition') was directed by the cinema pioneer Georges Méliès and released in 1904. Under US copyright law, all works published anywhere in the world before January 1, 1928, have definitively entered the public domain in the United States. Even though the work is of foreign origin (France), the URAA (Uruguay Round Agreements Act) restorations do not apply to works published this early, as the maximum possible copyright term for a work published in 1904 under the laws in effect at the time of the 1976 and 1998 acts would have expired long ago. The film is listed in the Star Film Company catalog as film number 550–551. Because it predates the 1928 cutoff, it is public domain regardless of its renewal status or original registration.
