A group of men in formal attire are gathered in a dining room; one man calls out to others to look at something, prompting movement and attention. The scene ends with men standing and reacting to an off-screen event.

“Don't come in late Monday morning with a hangover. Don't worry, we won't be right there on time. Good night, boys. Good night, boys.” 4:53 · “Hey, fellas, look!” 5:12 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.
