How come this film is PD if it was made in 1949? I thought the rule of thumb for the US was pre-1923. pfctdayelise ( translate?) 12:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
What is the title "Africa Screams" supposed to connote? Is it a reference to something that was obvious in 1950? Is it a reference to a book or another movie title?-- Petzl ( talk) 15:33, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
In 1930 there was a very successful documentary called "Africa Speaks."

The date (1977) and reason for the film falling into the PD is explained here. It is an Internet forum post by "Bob Furmanek" whose name can be found frequently on Wikipedia. Furmanek claims personal knowledge of the film history. He says:
Although a forum post on hometheaterforum.com is considered a self-published source ( WP:SPS), "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." Furmanek is an established expert about the film's history because he obtained the original and had it transferred to a new medium. Furmanek is also the author of Abbott and Costello in Hollywood (1991, Perigee Trade) further establishing his credentials and reliability. As such I believe this source is reliable-enough for this to be included in Wikipedia. -- Green C 14:22, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
One wonderful story I heard I can't "officially" enter because I've forgotten which book I saw it in.
Bud&Lou were fed up with studio president Nassour's interference on the set.On the last day of shooting,Lou went to a bakery and bought an entire day's worth of pies.
When the film was in the can and they knew they'd never be back,Bud&Lou staged a massive pie fight on the set---and sent Nassour the bill for both the pies and the janitor cleanup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.23.5.11 ( talk) 18:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)
Would the restored version be in the public domain? Or would that be under copyright? MonkeyBBGB ( talk) 03:12, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
