Three sailors in uniform talk in a corridor; one is leaving on leave to see his family and a woman named Mary, while the others speculate he may propose. One sailor declines to accompany him, citing errands in town.
“Yeah, tomorrow I got 48 hours and boy, I'm on the equal way right through. You fellas are coming up to the house, ain't you? I got a date with Mary. Have a good time, boys. I'm going down to San Diego to see my folks.” 43:47 · “What makes you think so? Well, the way he's talking about seeing his folks.” 44:12 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.
