Screenshot from an Italian Movie. It may be PD in the US, but was first released in Italy (as confirmed by the IMDB)where it will still be copyrighted. Simonxag (talk) 23:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to http://www.archive.org/details/hercules, the whole movie is in the public domain. I guess this is due to lack of renewal. --Damiens.rf 15:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The same source cites the production company as "Galatea Film": this can be confirmed as Italian by the BFI [1] and the IMDB [2]. The IMDB [3] states that "Le fatiche di Ercole" (orignal title) was "the first film shot in Italy in the French Dyaliscope anamorphic widescreen system" and that its US distribution rights were sold for $120,000. In short this is an Italian movie. It may be out of copyright in the US, but not in its country of origin (or anywhere else for that matter). --Simonxag (talk) 13:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. Commons only accepts files which are free in the country of origin. There is no reason for this image to be free in Italy. Pruneautalk 13:39, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
