Vier um die Frau

Vier um die Frau (Four Around a Woman), directed by Fritz Lang, was originally released in Germany in February 1921. Under US copyright law, all works published or distributed anywhere in the world before January 1, 1928, have definitively entered the public domain in the United States. Because the film's publication occurred in 1921, it meets the criteria for the expiration of the maximum 95-year term that could have been applied to works of that era (even if they had been registered and renewed in the US). Furthermore, the 1996 URAA (Uruguay Round Agreements Act) restoration only applies to foreign works that were still under copyright in their source country on January 1, 1996, and which had not entered the US public domain due to the expiration of their full term. For a 1921 work, the US term expired no later than the end of 1996, and it is now universally recognized as public domain regardless of its registration status or foreign origin.
