Three men are in an office; one seated, two standing. A phone conversation occurs about a sold set and a meeting at 8:30, followed by an invitation for Mr. Reeves to stay in his office while others remain nearby.
“Tell him that you sold the set. His money's waiting for him here. Find out what time he's coming by.” 26:45 · “Well, maybe you better come in tonight, Roy. A couple of things I want cleared up.” 27:16 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.
