A woman enters a bedroom where another woman is lying on the bed; the transcript reveals anticipation for meeting an author named Anthony Blake and a request for music. The room contains a bed, vanity, and lamp, and one woman is in a robe while the other is reclining.

“Oh, and Kate, I'm going to meet Anthony Blake. Now, what's so good about that? He's the one who wrote this book. Any idiot can write a book. Not a good one.” 7:39 · “Oh, I can hardly wait until I meet him.” 7:49 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.
