Two men are in a dimly lit interior, discussing a woman's presence in a place called 'the casper'. One man, wearing a fez and suit, speaks while the other, in a tuxedo, listens with a serious expression.
“The mission is a rather delicate one, but necessary. I merely wish to suggest that your fiancé is a little too fond of, shall we say, the local color of the casper.” 77:52 · “What is all this? The casper's hardly the place for a woman alone. She attracts too much attention, excites too much desire. We naturally wish to protect her from any embarrassment.” 78:08 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.
