A man and a woman are in a car, discussing the car's ownership and a plan to eat at a drive-in. The woman, Vera, insists the man, Roberts, is not going anywhere, and they pull into a drive-in where she orders food.
“You got me out of a tight spot, Vera. But I still don't understand all this. You will in a minute. I almost threw away a gold mine. 1850 isn't to be sneezed at. The car doesn't book for as much as I thought. We're not selling the car. You want to keep it. Now, wait a minute, Vera. You said yourself I wouldn't be safe until the car was in someone else's name. I'd like to be free of this mess when I go. That's just it, Roberts. You're not going.” 53:42 · “There's a drive-in in the next corner. Pull in there and we'll get a bite to eat.” 54:05 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.
