A scene unfolds at night where Dr. Kruger and Mr. Briggs discuss the credibility of Dr. Martin’s claims while standing near a car; Mrs. Martin arrives to check on her husband’s condition. The dialogue references hallucinations, sodium amytol, and a search for cavern entrances, while the visual shows a person near a vehicle in darkness.
“Well, Dr. Martin seems to be indestructible, except for those hallucinations. Those weren't hallucinations, Colonel.” 56:04 · “Good evening, Dr. Kruger.” 57:14 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.
