Two women are in a bedroom; one is standing near a bed while the other sits. The transcript references a past event involving a car and a person named Sport Wardell.

“I hope we have as much fun here as we have in Oklahoma. Do you remember the night you went out with Sport Wardell?” 28:56 · “It's a funny car, chugged along, and he made you get out and walk. And even if that, I beat him home. What's that? I was wondering if you remember. Of course I do.” 29:04 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.
