Two sailors in uniform talk in a ship's interior; one asks to borrow money to buy a ring for his girlfriend, and the other agrees after some hesitation. The conversation includes references to liberty, a canteen, and a jewelry store.

“Well, I got a deposit up on a ring down at Sloan Jewelry Store. And you want me to pick it up? Yeah, so I can give it to Mars tomorrow. You let me have? The ten bucks.” 42:59 · “A deal. OK. There's your chance. There's 20.” 43:06 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.
