A man in a suit speaks with others in a dimly lit room with a clock and lamp; he announces he is leaving for the Belknap home and Warner's headquarters late at night. A woman is mentioned as having called and being worried, though no details were shared with her.
“You get some sleep, kid. Where are you going?” 52:19 · “I'm going out to the Belknap home. And the Warner's headquarters while I'm out there. Now? All the way out there? This hour of the morning? I don't know what I've got yet. If anything...” 52:35 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.
