A boy stands outside in snow near steps and a railing while an older woman in a headscarf and apron stands indoors. An older man leans on a windowsill looking out, repeating the action in two frames. The transcript includes dialogue about buying a turkey and addressing someone named Walker.

“Hey, do you know the poster at the corner of the street next but one? I shall hope I did. An intelligent boy, you're a mockable boy.” 66:23 · “Do you know if they've sold the price turkey that they had hanging there? It'll be hanging there now. Well, you go and buy it. Walker! No, no, no. I'm in earnest.” 66:33 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.
