A group of people are gathered outdoors, some dancing while others observe; a man and a woman stand together watching, and a close-up shows a child with a stick in his mouth. The transcript mentions dancing and a ritual involving bamboo shoots and pain.
“That, my dear, is the origin of all modern dancing.” 18:03 · “Looks like fun. You should try it sometime, Colonel. When they're small children, long bamboo shoots are forced into their flesh. The more pain they can bear, the more they are respected and admired.” 18:16 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.
