A man and a woman sit at a table in an office-like setting, discussing a film role and a missed date. The man mentions his search for a specific type of actress for a lead role while the woman reveals she has a small part in a picture.
“What's all this between you and Smith? I've got a part. It's only one line, but it's in the picture.” 48:55 · “It's ambition that made you break that date with me last night. Well, I had to be here so early this morning and... So did I.” 48:59 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.
