Editing Check and Double Check (section)

==Revivals==
In 1955 the RKO film library was sold to [[C&C Group|C&C Television Corporation]], which syndicated 16mm film prints to local television stations. Included in the package was ''Check and Double Check'', which was telecast through the rest of the decade and into the 1960s while ''Amos 'n' Andy'' still had a following on television. After the TV show was withdrawn due to civil-rights considerations, most local stations owning the RKO library opted to withdraw ''Check and Double Check'' as well.

In 1958, the film entered the [[List of films in the public domain in the United States|public domain in the United States]] because the claimants did not renew its [[copyright registration]] in the 28th year after publication.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Pierce |first=David |date=June 2007 |title=Forgotten Faces: Why Some of Our Cinema Heritage Is Part of the Public Domain  |journal=Film History: An International Journal |volume=19 |issue=2 |pages=125–43 |issn=0892-2160 |oclc=15122313 |jstor=25165419 |doi=10.2979/FIL.2007.19.2.125 |s2cid=191633078 }} See Note #60, pg. 143</ref> Because of the film's copyright-free status, film merchants copied C&C Television prints of ''Check and Double Check'' for the home-movie market, and later for home video. Because ''Check and Double Check'' is no longer exhibited in public, fans of Gosden and Correll can only see the film in private showings.
