Two men in suits are on a staircase; one is being assisted by the other. One man speaks, asking for help to twist his stem and get the other side.
“All right, buddy. I'll twist my stem. Give me a hand, will you? Let me get the other side. Yeah, I'll do it.” 43:25 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.
