Lighthouse (1947) Full Movie | Colorized

Описание: In the isolated confines of a remote coastal lighthouse, dedicated veteran keeper Hank Armitage shares a monotonous routine with his charming but unreliable assistant, Sam Wells. When vibrant cannery worker Connie catches Sam's eye during shore leave, sparks fly amid flirtatious promises of a future together. Eager to surprise him, Connie ventures to the lighthouse, only to uncover unsettling truths about Sam's wandering affections from the unsuspecting Hank. Wounded by betrayal, she makes a impulsive choice: marrying the steadfast older keeper on the spot, sealing a union born of spite rather than affection.

As the newlyweds settle into the cramped tower quarters, Sam's bruised ego festers into resentment, while Hank remains blissfully oblivious to the undercurrents swirling around him. Jealousy brews like the relentless ocean storms battering the rocks below, forcing the trio into a pressure cooker of unspoken desires and simmering grudges. Connie grapples with her hasty vows, torn between lingering feelings for the roguish Sam and the quiet kindness Hank offers. Subtle manipulations and heated confrontations erode their fragile harmony, transforming the beacon of safety into a powder keg of emotional turmoil. Amid howling winds and crashing waves, loyalties fracture, revelations surface, and the line between love and vengeance blurs in this tense drama of human frailty.

Why Lighthouse (1947) Is in the Public DomainLighthouse, a low-budget production from Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), entered the public domain due to lapsed copyright under U.S. law for pre-1964 works. Films published between 1929 and 1963 required a formal renewal filing with the Copyright Office after 28 years to extend protection to a full 95 years. PRC, a "Poverty Row" studio notorious for quick, inexpensive B-movies, often failed to renew copyrights amid financial instability and the industry's post-WWII shifts. For Lighthouse, released in 1947 without proper notice or renewal in 1975, protection expired automatically. This is common for PRC titles, as noted in archival sources like IMDb and film restoration reviews, making the movie freely available via public domain prints on platforms like YouTube and in collections from labels like Film Masters.
