Is "Applause" In The Public Domain?


Kino Video has Applause (1929) in it's catalog. I could not any other company releasing this title on DVD. Is the film now out of copyright? Or is it licensed from the distributor, which I believe is Paramount or Universal?

It's one of three films licensed to them from Universal. The other two are Love Me Tonight and The Man Who Laughs.

Universal owns nearly all Paramount talkies from 1929-1948.




Tell The Weinstein Company to release Richard Williams' animated masterpiece The Thief and the Cobbler on DVD in Panavision widescreen and uncut! See and hear what you're missing from their Bitsy Award winner of Worst Standard Edition DVD of 2006 on YouTube!

Kino also license other titles from Universal, such as the William Wyler films THE LOVE TRAP, COUNSELLOR AT LAW and THE GOOD FAIRY (the latter is one of my favourite 1930s comedies).

I believe everything from Kino is either officially licensed or PD. I think they are a brilliant company, especially for silents. This year they seem to be releasing a batch of silent films almost every month, including some of Victor Sjostrom's rare Swedish silents in July. I also recommend the First Ladies series (early films by women directors) released last month.

And note that Deep Discount currently has a 50% off sale on nearly all Kino titles; I just bought over 30 of them!

DVD - Kino Sale

Second the praise for The Good Fairy; a wonderfully charming comedy that I just love.
