Two men sit at a table in a dimly lit interior, one speaking about attending a funeral alone and following local customs. The speaker mentions being unable to go down to say goodbye to a friend on his last journey.

“I did everything you would have done, Pepe. I was all alone at the cemetery. I followed the custom of your people, a handful of earth on the body, and flowers to make him feel at home in such a strange place.” 60:51 · “It's hard not to be able to go down to say goodbye to your friend on his last journey.” 61:14 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.
