I have a few questions regarding this topic, any information is appreciated...

The film "Lion Tiger Fight" released by Castle Films in 1929/30, is it in the public domain?

Is there a listing somewhere (online or offline) where one can go about checking what is within the public domain or not?

Thanks.

Sahin,

Welcome to the Forum! According to Scott MacGillivray's "Castle Films" book, "Lion-Tiger Fight" was originally released in 1947.
