A man in a fedora and suit stands near a table while two other men, one seated and one standing in a white coat, are present in what appears to be a morgue or police station. The transcript reveals a body has been switched, with Walter Bard’s body substituted for a John Doe, and a doctor is summoned to address the discrepancy.
“Only it wasn't John Doe, it was Walter Bard.” 40:20 · “There's been a switch. Here's Doc Jaeger now. What's this all about, Sam?” 41:12 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.
