A man and a woman sit at a dinner table in a dimly lit room with tiled walls; the man gestures while speaking, and the woman listens. The transcript reveals a conversation about guilt, ambition, and the symbolic use of pads on horses in bullfights, with references to spectators and emotional protection.

“You with your ambition, me with my guilt.” 51:44 · “Why do they put the pads on the horses and the bullfights? I've told you that.” 51:51 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.
