Two men in tuxedos argue at a table in a crowded room while a waiter stands nearby; one man demands a drink and refuses to discuss a matter further, while the other urges calm. A woman sits at the same table, and another man in a tuxedo is visible in the background.
“I'll have double gin and tonic. I refuse to discuss the matter any further, General. That's quite enough. It is not enough.” 34:23 · “How about a nice, friendly little drink? Pull yourself together, General. Don't make a scene. Shut up, do you hear? -Me not? -Shut up!” 34:30 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.
