But CC-By-SA is claiming the film is a derivative of the sound
recording despite film and sound being seperate under uk law. So even
though I have made no changes to the music CC-By-SA is trying to claim
it is under copyright again because is it is part of a film.

Another way to look at this is that CC thinks that the soundtrack of a
51 year old film in the UK is not PD.
