A man in a light suit and fez checks his watch in a dim, textured interior; another man in a white shirt sits and gestures while singing. The transcript contains philosophical reflections on life and love, with repeated phrases like 'C'est la vie.'
“Life is simple if you try to enjoy before you die every bit of happiness along the way. Take the joy that comes to you. Suddenly the world is due.” 74:43 · “that keeps you dancing every day. C'est la vie. Only love and life is honey. That's life, you don't need money. If you've got a little honey in your arms. C'est la vie. I'm in heaven and I know it. Can I help it if I show it? Life is sweet as we can be for me. Love is very necessary. Only love and you'll be happy. C'est la vie.” 74:52 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.
