I suspect this is because it’s only entered the public domain in the US. The rules are different territory by territory, and in a lot of European countries it is life + 70 years based on principle participants. Given Charles Rogers - one of the starring actors - didn’t die until 1999 (aged 95!) in some European countries this film won’t be public domain until 2069, incredible as that seems. Even if you go in the director, who died in 1975, that makes it 2045.
