Introduction

This catalog consists of two parts: Motion Pictures, 1960-1969, which is a list of main entries under title, and a Name Index.

Motion Pictures, 1960-1969

The items which constitute each entry in this section are given below in the order in which they appear. The title, name of the claimant, copyright date, and registration number are always given; other items are included if applicable to the motion picture and available.

1) Title, followed by alternate titles and/or subtitles.

2) Production statement including the name of the releaser.

3) Physical description, including running time or number of reels, width of film, sound or silent, color or black and white, etc.

4) Series statement.

5) Author and title of the work on which the film is based or with which it is correlated.

6) Names given in the application which do not appear elsewhere in the entry.

7) Name of the employer in the case of a work made for hire, if so named in the application.

8) Information contained in the application which relates to the registration of an earlier version of the work.

9) Brief statement of the new matter on which copyright is claimed, preceded by the abbreviation NM, if this information is given in the application and is not indicated elsewhere in the entry.

10) Copyright symbol ©, followed by the name of the copyright claimant.

11) For published works, date of publication as given in the application; for unpublished works, the date on which the last of all the items required to complete registration (i.e., description and representative prints, application, and fee) was received in the Copyright Office.

12) Registration number.

For published works, whenever it is necessary to indicate a variation between the information given in the application and in the copy of the work with respect to the claimant's name or date of publication, the data from the application is given first followed by the phrase "in notice" and the data given in the work: e.g., © Richard Roe & Co.; 19Jan69 (in notice: 1968).

In the case of some motion pictures produced as serials, information relating to the entire serial precedes that relating to the individual numbers or episodes in the serial. More than one entry of a serial is made whenever the descriptive information or the claimant varies significantly for different parts of the serial. Individual issues of a serial are listed in numerical sequence, or by date, or alphabetically by issue title.

Name Index

The second section of this catalog lists the names of the persons and organizations associated with the production of the motion pictures described in the main section, and of the authors of the novels, dramas, or other works upon which these motion pictures are based. Similar names have been listed separately unless it is clear that they identify the same person or organization. Cross-references from different forms of the same name and from pseudonyms are included in the list. Under each name the titles of the motion pictures with which it is associated are listed alphabetically.
