A group of sailors in a small boat on open water are shown in three frames; one sailor hands an object to another while a third looks on. A voice instructs to return the object to the skipper and says 'Cut it. Easy.'
“Yeah. That's what everyone does. Yeah. Get that back to the skip right away. That's all. Cut it. Easy.” 27:01 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.
