PD status discussed at Talk:My Man Godfrey#PD_status. -- Green C 16:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Aren't Fritz Lang's movies Metropolis (1927 film) and M (1931 film) in the public domain??? -- RThompson82 ( talk) 07:17, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
It's unclear what the copyright status is. Many unreliable sources claim PD but that is not uncommon, even when a film is not PD. A search of Google Books didn't find anything reliable. This message forum discussion says copyright is owned by Paramount. It states there is a PD version which is cut, while only Paramount has released an uncut restored version. Given uncertainty Wikipedia probably shouldn't factually state the film is PD - and without a reliable source, we probably shouldn't say anything at all one way or another.

@ Betty Logan:: I have no comment on what the copyright status is for The Klansman, However, I find it interesting on what you said about finding it "extremely unlikely that a major film starring Lee Marvin and Richard Burton released by Paramount in 1974 would not be still under copyright." I say that because there is another major film released in 1971 by United Artists which, in my opinion, I believe to be in the PD. The film is called Born to Win and it features an early appearance of Robert De Niro. I have added it to the list, but if the source I used for it is unreliable, then by all means remove it from the list just like The Klansman. Hitcher vs. Candyman ( talk) 23:51, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
