Two men in civilian clothes interact with a group of sailors on a ship deck; one man is greeted by name. A voice-over discusses promotion requirements for sailors.
“Your ship offered you the same opportunity for promotion whether you've graduated from the trade school or not. But to be promoted you must work and study.” 11:36 · “Fix it Smith! Freshwater Hines! How have you been? Great! Glad to see you! Glad to see you! Oh boy, I bet we get that off of you in a hurry. Yeah, couple of looks at that face and yours will follow. A tip or a board? Open your ears and feast your eyes.” 11:46 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.
