Two people sit at a table in a dimly lit room, playing cards while discussing a man named Haskell's expected death. The conversation reveals tension and preoccupation, as both characters are mentally elsewhere despite the card game.
“We'll wait till we read that old man Haskell's dead. Then you show up.” 56:35 · “But as much as I insisted I would have no part of her scheme, Vera was taking it for granted I would.” 56:48 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.
