File:His Girl Friday.webm[edit]

Also:

Much of the dialog in this film is still copyrighted since the play is still copyrighted: "The play on which the film is based, 1928's The Front Page, was copyrighted and renewed, which means it's still protected and therefore so is any work directly based on it. This makes His Girl Friday practically unusable in terms of free exhibition, because you'd need permission from the copyright owners of The Front Page, even though the film is, technically, public domain."[1] The copyright on the play will expire on January 1, 2024.

Kaldari Why 1924? The authors of the novel died in 1964 and 1956 respectively. User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 18:53, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Armbrust: The play is American, thus U.S. copyright law applies, i.e. 95 years after publication. Kaldari (talk) 19:08, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Kaldari Makes sense, but this also applies to File:His Girl Friday (1940).ogv and File:His Girl Friday - Full Movie With Cary Grant & Rosalind Russell.webm. User:Armbrust (Local talk - en.Wikipedia talk) 08:04, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
