How did this get into the public domain? Considering the only print came straight from the director [when was that, the 1970's?]. Is it in the PD in<BR>
Japan?<BR>

And US copyright law depends on the first date of publication, it doesn't matter which country it played in. <BR>

Anyway, New Line Cinema (back in their wilder and woolier days) released the film back in the 1970s and 16mm prints lingered around. I think maybe even Audio Brandon had it at one point even before that.<BR>
