Why this status applies
The film 'Vive la vie de garçon' (also known by the English title 'It's a Great Life') was released by Pathé Frères in 1908. Under current U.S. copyright law, all works published or registered before January 1, 1928, have entered the public domain due to the expiration of their maximum copyright term.
Regardless of the film's country of origin (France) or its status under the URAA (Uruguay Round Agreements Act), the 95-year maximum term for works published in 1908 expired no later than the end of 2003. As a result, the work is definitively in the public domain in the United States.
