A woman in a robe lies on a patterned couch while a man in a shirt stands near a door in a dimly lit room. The transcript includes dialogue about feeling clean and comments on maintaining a 'school girl complexion.'

“Boy, oh boy. It sure feels good to be clean again. I must be ten pounds lighter. You must be.” 42:17 · “Well, bitch and rides isn't exactly the way you keep your school, girl complexion.” 42:27 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.
