A man in a suit and hat stands on a staircase inside a building. He speaks about the difficulty of the situation, comparing it to climbing Piney Mountain and suggesting jumping from a window would be quicker.

“All right, Granny Zadner, this is worse than trying to climb old Piney Mountain.” 10:49 · “Coming back, I believe it'd be quicker to jump out of one of these windows.” 10:56 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.
