Play from 33:15 on the Internet Archive This beat in the atlas
Two men in 18th-century attire converse aboard a ship at night; one identifies himself as employed by the captain to make him socially acceptable, while the other questions his identity and role. The dialogue suggests suspicion about the man’s true purpose, with references to spying and social status.
“Excuse me, sir, but you seafaring men always seem to be looking at something that I never can see. We are looking for something just over the horizon. You know, sir, I recognized you for a gentleman the moment I saw him, sir. What are you, a valet, doing at sea?” 33:31 · “The captain employed me to make him socially acceptable, sir.” 33:47 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.
