It is difficult to know for sure, as it depends on how long the line at customs is and whether all the planes are on time.  At lest 1 hour is usually recommended for domestic flights, so, 1 hr 15min may be pushing it for an international connection.  If you want to be more certain to catch the flight, you should take a longer layover.
