This link was made after a language model re-read the damaged OCR (deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Pro); the reading was accepted only because the number and date or title it reported agree with the catalog. Its note: “The renewal record for R636044 appears twice in the OCR text. The first occurrence is incomplete and interleaved with the previous record (R636043). The second occurrence provides the full details: title 'The Secret of Saint Ives', original date 30Jun49 (1949-06-30), original number 12376 (likely LP2376, as the OCR dropped the 'L' and 'P'), renewal claimant Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc., and renewal date 23u176 (23Aug1976). The 'u' in the date is an OCR error for 'A' (Aug).”
