A man in a dark coat enters a dimly lit interior and confronts someone off-screen, demanding to see a partner; another man is seen crouching on a rooftop. The transcript includes a line identifying one man as 'Billy the Kid'.
“Come on in here. Why, why, why, why, why, why, listen now, I want to see a partner of mine. You got him in here, I'm going to see him. Get out of here. Listen, you can't. Oh, no, you're the wrong guy. Listen, I'm an American. Listen.” 19:45 · “Listen and see! I pay my taxes, and I'm gonna see my butt! Say, that looks like Billy the Kid.” 20:00 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.
