I just found the Charade was PD

Charade (1963)
One of my favourite movies, Charade is a stylish, suspenseful thriller set in Paris with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn playing a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with a bunch of baddies like Walter Matthau, James Coburn and George Kennedy. It's been called he best Hitchcock movie Hitchcock never made?

The film had an incomplete copyright notice and so entered the public domain immediately on its release.

The movie was snatched back into copyright the same way as "It's a Wonderful Life" was. Mancini's music is copyright which is not a problem in itself as the music can easily be licensed for reuse. The main issue is the story that it is based on remains in copyright and Universal own the exclusive film rights to the story which would be violated by using the film as PD.
