Note that it may still be copyrighted in jurisdictions that do not apply the rule of the shorter term for US works (depending on the date of the author's death), such as Canada (70 years p.m.a.), Mainland China (50 years p.m.a., not Hong Kong or Macao), Germany (70 years p.m.a.), Mexico (100 years p.m.a.), Switzerland (70 years p.m.a.), and other countries with individual treaties.
A search of U.S. copyright renewal records for 1979 and 1980 reveals that the then corporate heir of the work's corporate author--RKO General--renewed no copyrights to this poster or any collection of posters or any collection of material that might encompass this poster as would have been required to maintain copyright protection, if any.
There is no evidence that the corporate author's descendant corporation--RKO Pictures LLC--claims or has ever claimed copyright on the image.
