A man in a fedora and suit holds a telephone receiver to his ear while seated; the transcript mentions a murdered private eye and political fallout. No named individuals appear, and the setting is not visually identifiable beyond being an interior space.
“Come on, son. Give me Charlie to make it snack. Hold on to your wig, Charlie. Come here.” 5:45 · “Walter Barth, the private eye, was just found shot to death in his car, right at the front door of the joint.” 5:50 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.
