A man and a woman stand in a dimly lit interior, discussing someone's arrest and burial; the man mentions marking the date on his room's wall. The woman suggests they leave.
“- It's a shame, isn't it? - What?” 23:50 · “A waste of talent, an unusual intelligence. One hates to see him buried so young. Buried? It's the same thing. What makes you so sure? I've marked the date of his arrest on the wall of my room. High, where it reads black in the rays of the setting sun.” 23:52 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.
