Literary works, musical works, and motion pictures published in 1929 whose copyrights were renewed after 28 years are finally in the public domain in the U.S. These include A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, the first English translation of All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, and An American in Paris by George Gershwin. As I wrote a few years ago, these copyright expirations are 20 years overdue due to the Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998.
