- “Sure is dusty. Looks like this place ain't being used. It isn't. The offices are closed while the state audits the books. Where were the partners when this guy was killed?

Three men in suits and hats stand in a dim interior, discussing a murder and a closed office; one man crouches nearby. The dialogue reveals the office belongs to partners Richardson and Burns, who are suspected of a frame-up and have an alibi.
“When was the last place you saw Carton alive? In his office, in the Mutual building. Deptown.” 43:33 · “There's two partners, Richardson and Burns. Well, they're in on the frame-up. That don't mean nothing.” 44:04 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.
