A man in a striped robe sits at a desk with a suitcase, reacting to the death of Mr. Haskell and planning to assume his identity to escape. He reads Haskell's personal effects, learns he was a con artist posing as a hymnal salesman, and decides to drive to a large city to disappear.
“Mr. Haskell, he can't die.” 29:16 · “There was no time to lose. Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell was dangerous.” 30:17 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.
