A man stands beside a car near a 'STOP ENTERING' sign while a news report describes a manhunt for Gilbert Bowen, Roy Collins, and Emmett Myers. Helicopters and Mexican police are involved in the search from El Centro South to the Gulf of California.
“The search for Gilbert Bowen and Roy Collins, now believed to have been last seen with Emmett Myers, mass killer, is being stepped up by the hour.” 38:03 · “Helicopters are working in ships, scouring the entire area from El Centro South to the Gulf of California. The planes are maintaining close liaison with the ground, reporting isolated cars and cambers. The Mexican police have now joined this strange race against death.” 38:10 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.
