A man in uniform climbs onto a table in a decorated room while a woman seated at the table reacts. The transcript includes dialogue about talking to someone named Adnan and climbing a fire escape, followed by an exclamation and an apology.

“We've got to weave.” 47:49 · “We'll talk to Adnan. We'll talk him into it. Now, don't you worry. Wait a minute. I'll climb up the fire escape with you. Mom, haven't you forgotten something? Huh?” 47:49 automatic transcript, may be wrong

The record

No renewal found An automated finding, not a verdict. A renewal would have appeared in the Copyright Office's renewal registrations 27 to 29 years after the term began. Those volumes are loaded and our parse of them found no matching renewal. If that is right, a work published 1931–1963 that was not renewed entered the public domain at the end of its 28th year; the volumes are OCR of old print, and the method page reports how often the parse has been found to miss one. Evidence dossier. The finding concerns the US copyright record for the film; it is not clearance for any use, and this page's annotation is machine output.
