Two men in military uniforms are in an office; one stands near a map while the other sits at a desk. The seated man gives orders about minesweeper duty and reporting back.

“You write Leopardy at 1430, is that right?” 41:18 · “When you get back, you're going on minesweeper duty for a few days. They're shorthanded up there, but report to me first.” 41:22 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.
