A woman speaks with a man through a wire mesh window while another man is escorted into a jail cell by a uniformed officer; later, a man in a hat is forcibly led away by another man near a train platform. The dialogue includes references to pie, a birthday, and handcuffs, and ends with a command to board a train.

“How's the cooking coming along? Fine. I've got a new pie recipe. You make the crust with vanilla wafer.” 19:53 · “Come on now, it's time to go to the train. Can you put whipped cream on it? It's nearly all whipped cream. I know, I like it, but...” 20:00 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.
