Two men and a woman are shown in a hallway and then in a room; one man speaks to the woman, who is seated, while another man stands nearby. The dialogue suggests a meeting in a private room, with references to a 'secretary general' and a prior meeting at 'August's house.'
“Rida, caridissima!” 57:30 · “Oh, why have you come into my bedroom in hell? I'm a nice girl.” 57:38 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.
