A woman speaks about art galleries and a Cezanne painting while holding a cigarette; a man responds while holding a glass. The setting appears to be an interior room with dim lighting and a candle.

“You know those art galleries on Fifth Avenue? The prices they charge. I saw one little picture that cost $50,000. They called it a...” 13:37 · “- Cezanne. - Cezanne? Oh, he was a great French painter. I like to own that painting.” 13:46 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.
