A woman enters an office where a man sits at a desk; she speaks with him while seated. The dialogue suggests she is recounting a failed romantic encounter with someone described as inhuman, comparing him to the Sphinx.
“I came back to get warm. That mish is colder than a cake of ice.” 37:38 · “That's just what I mean. The guy ain't human. I'd rather make love to the Sphinx.” 37:44 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.
