Two men are in a confrontation outdoors with a third man holding a gun; one of the men is told to hold the gun closer. The setting is rocky and barren, and the interaction is tense, with one man appearing to taunt the other.
“You're crazy. I won't do it. That's just a game. Go ahead. Collins! Hold it closer to you.” 16:50 · “What's the matter? Are you scared? Hold it closer. You want me to try it again? I might miss this time.” 16:58 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.
