Two men are in a room; one asks why the other was away and mentions returning to town for a leave of absence. The second man responds vaguely, then someone off-screen says 'Ople' and 'Welcome' before asking 'Who is it?'
“Have you been up there all this time till now? I'll go back to the town once in between, get something I needed, get a leave of absence. What for? What for?” 53:38 · “I'll tell you later.” 53:45 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.
