I was wondering how that can be public domain. So to save others some searching: https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2016/10/25/why-night-of-the-...

The short answer is, they forgot to put the copyright notice on it, and at the time, that made it public domain.

Yes, 8 years later this law “bug” was patched.

Weird. I would have thought that it would be copyright by default under the Berne copyright convention of 1886.

Ah, after further research I see that the US only joined the convention in 1988.

Probably explains why in the latest season of Stranger Things, the characters got to the flix and watch that particular film.

They also have The Last Man On Earth (1964) http://publicdomainflix.com/mobile/the-last-man-on-earth-196...

It's the first movie adaptation of Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend."

It was filmed in the suburbs of Rome, Italy.
