 * Comment: June 29 would be his 112th birthday, so it would be nice if this could run on that day if possible.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:53, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Article is new enough and long enough. Referencing looks good. Concerned about the image though; do you have a link to the trailer, so I can see whether or not there was a copyright notice? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:54, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * There is no copyright notice in the trailer, as would have been required in 1959 for the trailer to be protected. As I understand it, such promotional materials of the time typically were generally not protected.  Imzadi 1979  →   04:57, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. The reason I ask is because not all trailers were published without a copyright notice. Boom Town's, for instance, not only had a copyright notice, but the copyright was apparently renewed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:11, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
