Motion pictures, January-June 1976 : $b Catalog of copyright entries, third series, volume 30, parts 12-13, number 1

A compact yet thorough record of every motion‑picture copyright filed in the United States during the first half of 1976, this catalog offers a snapshot of the cinematic landscape at a pivotal moment in film history. It lists both photoplays and other motion‑picture works, noting titles, claimants, registration dates and numbers, and whether the material was domestically produced or imported.

The entries are organized by class symbols that signal the nature of each work, making it easy to locate dramas, documentaries, or foreign films registered under special provisions. Scholars, archivists and anyone curious about the legal backdrop of mid‑1970s filmmaking will find the systematic format invaluable for tracking trends, confirming rights, or simply exploring the breadth of titles that entered the public record during this six‑month window.
